I was craving something really lemony and rich to go with my tea yesterday so I made one of these easy, lemon drizzle cakes. Italians are known for their citrusy olive oil cakes, and this one is absolutely gorgeous. So delicious, with minimal ingredients. It’s not too terribly sweet, and the tart lemon drizzle balances…

Monte Cristo sandwiches are something I start obsessively craving from time to time. Since going vegan I have been making this version and they’re every bit as good as the original.

You can whip up a batch in no time, and choose a flavor that will perfectly accompany whatever you are eating. We had these with chili and…
