Read MoreWhen it comes to savoury snacks hummus is usually my go to but I was after a change. I love chickpeas but you can have too much of a good thing. This roasted beetroot, carrot and cannelloni bean dip is delicious. It goes the most wonderful pink colour and the earthy flavour that can sometimes dominate with beetroot is subdued by the sweetness of the carrots. It’s well worth a try. Ingredients 250g beetroot washed and trimmed 250g carrots washed (no need to peel) 2 cloves garlic, peeled 1 400g can cannelloni beans (rinsed and drained – retain some liquid) 1 – 2 tablespoons lemon juice 2

Read MoreMillionaire shortbread was one of the few things I couldn’t resist in a cake shop but since being gluten free I’ve struggled to find a vegan version that isn’t overly sweet or whose base isn’t cloyingly stodgy. So I put my thinking cap on and came up with this delicious alternative. My innocent shortbread has all the hall marks of the original but none of the sins.
