Vegan Victoria Sponge Cake | Recipe

[Ad- gifted product] Victoria sponge cakes are classic – and for a reason. They are light, fresh tasting cakes that pack quite a it of flavour. They are surprisingly simple to make, and you can add any fruit or jam to them that you’d like, putting your own spin on the cake. We took a look at Love OGGs vegan Victoria sponge cake, made with OGGs Aquafaba. Aquafaba is an egg alternative, which can be easy used for baking, whipped up into a foamy, creamy, egg-white-like consistency. Love OGGs have a bunch of different recipes, for all sorts of delicious treats, if you are ever looking for a great collection of vegan recipes.

Vegan Scones (Cooking with Kids) | Recipe

As vegan food is particularly big during the month of January, I dug out the book Cooking with Kids, which I got last year during it’s January launch in London. I didn’t have time to play around with the book then, but now that we seem to have tons of time on our hands, I dug it out! Cooking with Kids is a great book in the way that it is written – all of these recipes are easy to follow and you could probably hand them to a teenager for them to do themselves. Without having vegan in the title, all of the recipes are actually vegan, just by default, but the book itself is just designed to be one that you can use to get you and your family into the kitchen.

Ouzo Sour | Vegan Cocktail Recipe

[Ad- gifted product] You may have guessed, from looking around our site, that we do love a good drink! Dann has reviewed a bunch of beers and we are known to share recipes for cocktails! When we started using OGGS Aquafaba to replace eggs in some of our favorite foods, we figured it would be fun to make a drink using these as the foam-y, egg white replacement! Each container of Aquafaba contains about four eggs worth of fluid, which is great for baking, cooking and mixing drinks! OGGS has their own list of recipes, which can be found on their site, and we took a spin at their Pisco Sour, but were out of Pisco and went for a nice Ouzo instead.

Vegan Buffalo Cauliflower Wings with Dip | Recipe

[Ad- gifted product] As apart of Veganuary, we are trying out some different recipes and vegan snacks to see how they are! One of our favorite vegan brands are OGGS, who make a range of snacks, along with an egg alternative called Aquafaba. This egg alternative works well as mock egg whites, whipping up just like them! Each carton contains about four eggs worth, which is plenty to bake with, use in recipes, cook with, and otherwise enjoy. I was very happy with the texture of these egg whites – and we went for a buffalo cauliflower recipe, complete with glaze, and a refreshing dip to go along with it. OGGS has plenty of recipes for Aquafaba, which you can find on their website, and we’ll be trying a few more things out this month as well!

Fruity Mince Pies | Recipe

As an American living in England, I had never previously had or heard of Mince Pies. Despite beef being called ‘mince’ when it’s ground in the UK, Mince Pies do not contain any meat anymore and actually are a really lovely, sweet treat that’s super popular around the wintertime! Mince pies can be found in loads of stores – we have a ranking list of our favorites – but this year we decided to do some experimenting and try out own! We ended up loving a super fruity mince pie that we had made, and it was so easy and fun to do!
