I was in New York for thanksgiving and got very excited with all the varieties of pears and fresh cranberries!
This was my dessert for my thanksgiving lunch. But instead of fresh cranberries, this recipe uses dried cranberries. One good thing about that is their sour taste is covered by the apple juice concentrate. Fresh cranberries certainly need a lot of sugar. Choose pears that are not too ripe, as they will not hold their shape when baked if too soft. You will need to soak the cranberries first for 3 hours.

These delicious muffins are perfect for breakfast, snacks or lunchboxes, and as the eggs are optional, they can be vegan!

This is a never fail, super delicious carrot cake. It is dairy free, and as it contains only spelt flour, is wheat free.

A delicious dessert that looks great. These apples are also excellent served cold the next morning for breakfast.

This is a great dessert or breakfast, the rice is prepared without sugar but is very sweet and satisfying. The caramalised almonds (optional) add a yummy crunchy garnish. As the recipe uses cooked rice, it is a great way to use up left over rice from the day before. To keep this gluten free, just check the soymilk (if using) does not contain gluten)

A fresh approach to an old favourite.

This is a fabulous recipe, rich chocolate heavenly scented with Mandarin. Instead of butter, this brownie is made with olive oil, which makes them rich but delicate. It has a smallish yield, which is just about right, not too much of an expense when it comes to the ingredients list, but really hits the spot when you're after a rich chocolate treat.

A tangy, fruity blend of soft ripe mango with fresh organic yoghurt. The sharp zesty lime and lemon juice makes a wonderfully thick, cooling drink thats refreshing and packed with energy.

This is an easy cake to put together, and it is moist and delicious. As it is not overly sweet, It makes a great breakfast or morning snack, especially when teamed with some creamy natural yoghurt.

This delicious, simple recipe dates back to the 18th Century, when quince was a popular fruit in England and Europe. Quince store well over winter, when placed on a dry shelf. They soften over time, and their perfume is quite wonderful. Most quince varieties available now must be cooked in some way before eating.

This is a traditional Christmas treat, originating in Italy. Slice the panforte thinly, as you only need a small piece. This keeps really well in an airtight container, if you feel the need to refrigerate it, make sure you take it out for a while before serving it, or it will be difficult to slice.

Sweet and Delicious, this crumble recipe is a great dessert. Serve with some natural unsweetened yoghurt and you'll be wanting to eat it for breakfast too!

A great dessert for Autumn. The base is easy to make; it uses olive oil instead of butter, so the tart is suitable for Vegans. Olive oil pastry is delicate and easily adaptable to other recipes and flavours.

This has the consistency of a soft serve ice-cream, but it is made with just a few ingredients and takes just a few minutes. (no dairy, sugar, nuts or gluten)
