Juniper Sage Poached Rhubarb is one of my favourites – not only because of the rich pink hue that this dish has but also the way the rhubarb melts in the mouth and how the smell of the juniper and sage wafts through – giving this dish an earthy and grounding feel to it.  A really simple dinner party or even party for one recipe.

What to do next

Tag me on @ethiveganquantum on Instagram to show me what you’ve made and let me know you’re happy for me to share.

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.
