A vegan lifestyle blog to promote a cruelty free way of living
I wanted to try something a bit different for this recipe, and so for this, I took inspiration from the vegan fish tacos we had back at the start of the year at Smith & Daughters. I love a taco, and so I wanted to […]
I’ve been experimenting with chia seed puddings for a few years now. At first, I really just couldn’t stomach them and I didn’t quite see what the big fuss was. However, I’ve continued trying them every few months and now I have to say, I’m […]
I am a massive fan of noodles. Probably because they’re carbs, and carbs are life. But I love having them as often as possible, either for my lunch, or for my dinner. Lately though, I’ve been meal prepping these noodles for my lunch and having […]
Before coming to Wanaka, I had never seen or heard of a chimney cake before, and if you haven’t, then you might be wondering what it is. Whilst myself and Sam were having a look around a local market, we came across someone selling chimney […]
As vegans, it can be difficult when you get invited around to someones house for dinner. Aside from feeling like you’re making life difficult, it can also be concerning that the person hosting doesn’t completely understand veganism. Do they know the difference between a vegetarian […]
So we’re back with yet another delicious vegan pastry recipe. Here at The Rose & Bean, we love to show that the only thing difference between a meat-eater diet and a vegan diet, is the cruelty. We still get to eat everything we ate before, […]
On our very last day in Australia, when we were in Perth, we decided we wanted to go out for breakfast somewhere. The vegan food in Australia is so amazing, it seemed only fitting that we made sure to have one last meal.
Bagels. They can be used in so many different ways, and are so great as an alternative to a normal roll or even plain bread. I think that they’re underrated, and it’s time we used bagels more often. They don’t have to just be reserved as […]
Since figuring out how to create croissants, a new world has opened up to us. There are so many pastries out there that use croissant pastry as the base, that now we can run wild.
Pulled jackfruit has been around for the last year or so and really taken the vegan community by storm. It works as a substitute for pulled pork, due to its mild flavour and stringy texture.
Coleslaw. A traditional accompaniment to most British BBQs. Creamy and tangy, I used to love it before I turned vegan. Although I was always slightly wary by just how much mayo there used to be.
This is an old favourite from my pre-vegan days. It’s my mum’s recipe, although is more a case of just throw it all in and hope it works. I haven’t had this in years and knew it was time to veganise it.
This recipe came about following our vegan croissant recipe. We noticed a large number of people were wondering where to find a vegan butter to make our croissants. Whilst we were recommending Miyokos Kitchen butter, it isn’t available worldwide which meant some people were struggling […]
So this recipe is 100% Sam. He has always loved to bake, and especially loves cooking when it comes to dough or pastry, and croissants were one of his main loves pre-vegan.
I love muffins, but I haven’t had one in forever. Muffins and brownies are just my favourite (chocolate of course), and I’ve missed them since going vegan.
Maybe about a year ago, I was around at my grandparents house, looking through some of my Nan’s old recipes that she had cut out from magazines. There were some delicious looking ones in there. As I was looking through, I came across a handwritten recipe […]
Easter is always one of my favourite times of year, because of my unhealthy chocolate obsession. Every Easter I’d get way too many Easter eggs, and would try and eat them all on that one day, so that I wasn’t being haunted by chocolate for […]
I think I’m pretty good with stats and information about veganism. If you ask me a question, generally I’ve got the argument in my head ready to go. But the one question I always struggle with is “But what do you eat?”. I struggle with […]
Really, is there anything better than garlic bread? Delicious, soft, warm dough, topped with buttery, garlicky goodness. It’s the perfect accompaniment to any dinner, but in particular, pizza.
Everybody loves a doughnut, right? They’re the perfect treat to end a long day. And actually, they’re surprisingly easy to make. If you’re a long time follower of my blog, you’ll know that I’ve done a doughnut recipe before, my ‘best ever doughnuts‘, and if you’ve […]
I’ve made these rocky roads a couple of times and toyed with the idea of putting them on here. They just seemed so simple that it didn’t seem worth it. However, on taking some spare ones to work and everyone absolutely loving them, I felt […]
It’s nearly pancake day, arguably one of the better holidays, which means PANCAKES. Honestly, I love them so much but don’t actually have them nearly enough. So in honour of stuff-your-face-with-pancakes day, I decided to make some vegan crêpes.
The breadth of vegan replacements you can find will never cease to amaze me. Since moving to Melbourne, I’ve had the opportunity to try so many more amazing things that I wasn’t aware were so easily accessible. From different types of cheese, to a huge […]
I am all about the quick and healthy dinners at the moment. When I come back from work, I want something I can make quickly before I head off to the gym. I don’t have time to be slaving away for hours making dinner, and […]
Fact: Curries are delicious. They’re incredibly versatile too. It’s a fantastic and easy way to get in lots of veggies and protein, all whilst being completely scrumptious. At the moment I’ve been having them for lunch, meal prepping them at the start of the week, […]
I was watching the food channel the other day and someone was making a cheesecake. Whilst it has never been one of my favourite desserts (I find it just too rich), I decided I wanted to make my own vegan version, because it’s something I […]
OK I’m obsessed with Christmas baking at the moment. Usually I’m a die-hard chocolate fan, but at Christmas you just can’t beat all those delicious mixed spices and dried fruit. Any other time of year and I just wouldn’t be interested, but come December and […]
I’m currently sitting in front of my beautiful sparkly Christmas tree, sipping on this perfect Christmas cocktail and now I am well and truly excited for Christmas.
Christmas is just round the corner and I’ve been working hard to make as many yummy vegan Christmas recipes as I can, to make your life much easier.
Nothing says Christmas quite like mince pies, and now just because I’m vegan doesn’t mean I need to miss out! Having seen mincemeat sitting in the local supermarket, I decided I wanted to make my own for some perfect Christmas vegan mince pies.
