Helicopter Cake

When your toddler is helicopter mad & constantly asks for a helicopter cake for his birthday, you have to step up to the mark! So here was my attempt at a helicopter cake using a chocolate orange vegan cake recipe.

Carrot and Coriander Soup

Vegetable soups are full of vitamins and good nutrition, so great for the new Year diets ;) but they're also delicious and warming on the cold winter days.

Ingredients:

1kg carrots

a potato or swede or any other root vegetables

a litre of vegetable stock (made with 2 OXO cubes)

1 tbsp dried coriander

2 tbsp ground coriander

1 tsp cumin

Method:

1. Peel and chop the vegetables into chunks.
2. Place into a pan with the stock, coriander leaf, ground coriander and cumin.
3. Pour over the vegetable stock and boil until the vegetables are soft.
4. Blend til smooth with a hand blender or food processor.

Enjoy on a cold winters day with crusty bread and butter.
