Golden Gut Cheesecake

Does anyone else have a love affair with cheesecake? It combines two of my favourite things — cheese and cake — and makes for one delicious dessert. My Golden Gut Cheesecake is a perfect afternoon treat or delightful dessert for summer. It’s a raw, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and refined sugar-free cheesecake that is absolutely delicious.

Mini Lime Tarts
Recipe / Lee Holmes
Lime is so much more than just zest to add to a drink; it can boost your overall complexion and immunity, and help cleanse the body. There’s something about these lime tarts that makes me really happy. They’re equally creamy and tarty, tangy and sweet, satisfying and crisp with a crumbly texture.
