Succulent tangy burst Blueberry Pie infused with citrus lemon and earthy cinnamon on a millet teff pastry bed.

Tantalise your tastebuds with pure exquisiteness.

This dish will obliterate any belief that vegan food can’t be scrumptious.

Make this:

  • When your laden with blueberries following a scrounge at your local farmer’s market
  • When you fancy a slice of indulgence with a dollop of vanilla ice-cream in tow
  • When you’ve got a festive bug and you’re grappling with your dancing hips and a mouth-watering dish beckons

Blueberry Pie was inspired when I’d discovered reduced price Blueberries at my local supermarket. Always, up for a bargain I grabbed the remaining punnets, enthused I could make this Pie.

This Pie is a vegan dessert and gluten-free.

What equipment to use

For this recipe, I suggest:

High speed blender

Oven

My recipes are featured in vegan speciality publications: Nourished, Vegan Life, Plant Based and Vegan, Food and Living.

Order my first self-published book, “Essence: The Beginner’s Guide to Veganism” part of the three-part Circle of Food series. My second book “Presence: The Ascending Vegan” – which explores how to maintain a vegan practice is out in 2027 – I have compiled all the chapters including recipes.

Going strong since 2013.

Love.
