The amazing @vegannigerian recommended that I try garri, which is similar to achieke, also made from the tubers of the cassava plant. I did and I’m obsessed! I’ve tried it plain (like cous-cous), cold and sweet with peanuts (see the recipe on her website, link in her bio @vegannigerian ) and one day I came up with these beauties. Simple, really quick to make and seriously more-ish!
Spinach and green olive cannelloni (vegan, gluten-free, plantbased)Version française ci-dessous
I’ve had some rice paper rounds for spring rolls in my cupboard for ages and today decided to see if I could use them to make gluten-free cannelloni! This dish does take time so is great for the weekend and I promise it’s worth it!
Afrika’s apple pie (vegan, gluten-free, oil free)
My daughter, Afrika, has been home all week with a cough and cold and this morning she asked if I could please make cake for breakfast..so I used similar ingredients as I would have used for spicy apple porridge, to make this apple pie instead.
She approved!
Green spice dressing/dip (vegan, gluten-free, grain free, plantbased) Version française ci-dessous
I love the taste of fresh coriander and when it is available here in Pointe Noire I try to find as many ways as possible to incorporate it in our meals. This dressing is one of my favourite ways to use it.
Dark cacao and ginger biscuits ( vegan, gluten-free, plantbased )
These biscuits come together so quickly and are a favourite for my daughter and I to make together. There is plenty for little hands to do and she loves having them for a Sunday breakfast!

Dark cacao and tahini frosting/spread ( vegan, gluten-free, grain free )Version française ci-dessous
Super simple and delicious this dairy free frosting easily doubles up as a spread and is full of goodness!
Spicy Courgette and Banana smoothie (vegan, gluten-free, grain free )
Subtle, sweet and with a hint of spice, this smoothie hits the spot for when you need something light but filling and nutritious!
Pumpkin hummous ( vegan, gluten-free, grain free )
Another colourful twist on classic hummous, this one is just as good!
Cassava and pumpkin chapattis (vegan, gluten-free, grain free )
Inspired by my dear friend Jessica, these came together nicely when I had to think of something to do with the last cup of pumpkin soup!
