With Easter coming up and the season for all things chocolate, this easy and delicious cake combines figs and raspberries for extra sweetness and a fruit touch. A vegan-friendly bake using flaxseed in place of eggs, the texture is still very spongey, soft and gooey so is almost like a brownie which is even better! […]

Introducing Birds Eye Veggie Bowls
For many people, January is about getting back on the health wagon after the indulgences of Christmas, whether that be hitting the gym hard, making an effort to eat healthily or cutting out booze for a while (Dry January, anyone?).
