raspberry, rose, and pistachio crumble
Recipe from 15 Minute Vegan by Katy Beskow (Quadrille, £15) Photography © Dan Jones.
Crumble is my ultimate pudding. The sweet, baked fruit and crunchy topping make it the most comforting bowl there is. Always bake the fruit in a separate tray to the topping, then assemble just before serving; that way the crumble topping will stay crunchy and crisp.
Serves 2 generously
300g (10oz/2.5 cups) fresh raspberries
1 teaspoon good-quality rose extract
For the topping
100g (3.5oz/0.75 cup) plain (all-purpose) flour
50g (1.75oz/0.5 cup) rolled oats
50g (1.75oz/0.25 cup) demerara sugar
2 tablespoons coconut oil or vegan butter, at room temperature
2 tablespoons shelled pistachios
Soft fruits cook in super-fast time, so when you’re trying different flavour combinations, opt for fast-cook fruits including clementines, blackberries, rhubarb, and blackcurrants.
Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6.
Arrange the raspberries on a baking tray and drizzle over the rose extract.
To make the topping, mix together the flour, oats, and sugar in a bowl. Rub in the coconut oil or vegan butter until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Roughly chop the pistachios in half and stir into the mixture. Spoon the topping mixture into a separate deep baking tray.
Bake both trays for 10-12 minutes until the fruit is soft and bubbling and the topping is golden. Spoon the fruit into bowls and top generously with the crumble.

sticky marmalade tofu
During my years as a vegan, I’ve had a love/hate relationship with tofu. The love part is when tofu is crisp, golden and full of flavour; the hate part is when tofu is spongy and soggy!
