These aren't recipes designed to make you feel like you're "being good."
They're recipes designed to make you think:
“Bloody hell, this is delicious.”
Wondering what's actually inside?
How about…
Rich, chocolatey, beautifully indulgent — topped with creamy avocado chocolate icing and bursting with raspberry goodness.
A warming, hearty bowl of Mexican-inspired goodness served with creamy cashew cream and homemade cornbread.
A wholesome, beautifully spiced loaf packed with fruit, vegetables and crunchy walnuts. Perfect with a cup of tea.
Golden, crispy and utterly moreish, served with a dreamy Green Goddess tahini dip.
Fresh, crunchy and full of flavour — a gorgeous plant-powered take on this classic lettuce-cup favourite.
Golden little polenta triangles paired with a punchy, spicy harissa salsa. Perfect for sharing — if you're feeling generous.
All the comforting, rich, saucy goodness you want from a classic Bolognese, made entirely plant-based.
Vibrant, earthy and nourishing — a beautiful bowl of colourful comfort.
A warming, hearty and deeply satisfying plant-based take on this classic comfort dish using tofu.
Nourishing, satisfying and wonderfully versatile — the kind of recipe you'll find yourself coming back to again and again.
Decadent, creamy and completely dreamy — a showstopper that happens to be raw, plant-based and gluten-free.
Little bites of heaven when you fancy something sweet, luscious and utterly blissful.
And that's just a tiny taste of what's waiting inside.
With 120+ recipes, there's plenty more to discover.
Vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, omnivore, carnivore, curious — you are welcome here.
You don't need to overhaul your entire life overnight.
Maybe you want to eat less meat. Maybe dairy doesn't agree with you. Perhaps you're reducing sugar or gluten. Maybe you simply want some exciting new recipes to shake up your usual meals.
Whatever brought you here, one meal at a time can make a difference.
And when that meal happens to be absolutely delicious, making a change becomes a whole lot more enjoyable.
It doesn't.
Lick Your Plate is about creating nourishing food that is manageable enough for everyday cooking, while still being exciting enough to serve when you want to make something truly special.
Recipes that help you:
Cook with confidence.
Get creative with what you have.
Discover new flavours.
Feed yourself well.
Share beautiful food with people you love.
Because learning to cook real food is one of those wonderfully fundamental skills that keeps giving back — to you, your loved ones, animals and our planet.
I didn't grow up knowing how to cook healthy, nourishing food for myself.
And I know how difficult it can be to change old habits and start doing things differently.
I've been a lifelong vegetarian, but that didn't magically make me immune to food struggles, quite on the contrary. I've had my fair share of overeating, food addictions, buckets of ice cream, entire bars of chocolate and fizzy sugary drinks.
Looking back, I wish I'd had a cookbook filled with really delicious, inspiring and manageable recipes to help me find a different way.
Food that didn't feel like punishment.
Food that made me excited to cook.
Food that made my hips jiggle and put a big smile on my face.
That's the spirit behind Lick Your Plate.
I believe change doesn't have to happen all at once.
Step by step.
Meal by meal.
Bite by bite.
