What Is the Best Diet for Diabetes?

The case for plant-based eating to reduce the burden of diabetes has never been stronger.

There are all sorts of different scoring systems to rate diet quality. My favorite, for its simplicity, is the dietary phytochemical index—a fancy name for a simple concept. It’s just the percentage of your calories from whole plant foods, from 0 to 100. (See Calculate Your Healthy Eating Score.) The average American diet has a score of 12—out of 100. So, on a scale of one to ten, our diet is a one.

SPICED CARROT CAKE with CASHEW YOGURT FROSTING

This is one of the most moist, decadent, nourishing carrot cakes I have ever eaten. It’s gluten-free, vegan (of course) and sweetened without refined sugars. It makes for an excellent breakfast cake, a snack anytime of day, and a dessert. The frosting is made with cashews and yogurt, so it’s super creamy and rich. Plus you get a probiotic boost from the yogurt. I just found out Liberté now makes a dairy-free yogurt and it’s SO GOOD. Vegan yogurt that is actually like yogurt is hard to find, but Liberté has done it.

Hello! I have returned after a loooong hiatus! I’ve just been, you know, getting through this global pandemic and trying to take care of myself. These past few weeks have been really good for me, though, and I feel myself starting to get inspired again. The skies are opening up, and so is my spiri...

Vegan cheesecake bars with blueberries

The vegan cheesecake bars with blueberries are really easy to make and absolutely to die for. I tested them on Duncan’s kayaking mates, none of whom are vegan and (by the sound of things) they are not even sure what vegan means 🙂 and they loved them and did not realise these are with something other than cheese. That’s a winner in my book!

Hope your weekend is peachy! Ours is really quite hot and humid as Bristol is having a mini heatwave right now. If you feel like a simple yet delicious weekend bake, may I interest you in these tangy vegan cheesecake bars studded with jammy blueberries? The vegan cheesecake bars with blueberries are...

Baked gnocchi with sprouts and leeks

Today’s dish is a twist on my vegan gnocchi bake with mushrooms and broccoli, which so many of you love. This time, I’ve made with staple winter vegetables: Brussels sprouts and leeks. I had a couple of leeks gifted to me by a friend (thanks Shelley!) who had a surplus from her veg delivery box and I had some forsaken Brussels sprouts at the back of my fridge. I was racking my brain on how to put them to a good use until this idea came about. I tested it for one of our dinners and it was an instant hit.

I have not said goodbye to cozy comfort food just yet and I am glad I didn’t as the weather has taken a bit of a turn the past couple of days. I’m typing this as I procrastinate my run – it’s really cold and windy out and I simply don’t fancy it today. I […]

Fiber: An Effective Anti-Inflammatory?

Most Americans get less than half the recommended minimum daily fiber intake, which is problematic as the benefits of fiber go way beyond bowel regularity.

“Hippocrates, the father of western medicine, believed that all disease begins in the gut.” Of course, he also thought women were hysterical because of their “wandering uterus.” So much for ancient medical wisdom.
