Best, Easiest Vegan Chilli (and tips on staying nourished through the winter)

January 16, 2018 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

It’s raining. It’s grey. It’s January in London.

February 10, 2015 by theorganicspoon Leave a Comment

I had a bunch of beautiful organic leeks and zucchini so I whipped this up for dinner yesterday. It was quick, easy and healthy! No wheat, gluten, dairy or other nasties, and I even baked them instead of frying. I served them with a big salad of corn, watercress, spring onion and tomatoes, simply dressed…
