Although I have only been vegan full time for six months now, I've been a vegetarian for over four years so I've sampled a LOT of nut roasts in my time. A lot. Nothing I've tried has come to close to beating this traditional nut roast recipe that has been passed down through my family. For a long time my Mum has cooked this for Sunday dinner, and since becoming veggie I've eaten it most Sundays that

I don't think I've ever not been in the mood for tiffin. It was one of my favourite things that we made in cooking lessons at school (we made a lot of cake and pizza.. this was clearly before school's decided to teach kids how to eat healthily) and it's the perfect combination of biscuit and cake.

I have been trying and failing to bake a good cake for what feels like weeks - every time I put a cake in the aga (our oven) the oven goes out! That happened with this cake, but although it was still a little gooey, it was really tasty. I love the crunch that the pomegranate seeds give to the cake, and I love the grated carrot decoration! This recipe is adapted from The Vintage Tea Party Book (which
