What are the hallmark techniques used by Carolyn Scott in her vegan recipes?

Hi, I’m Carolyn Scott-Hamilton from The Healthy Voyager.

Across my recipes and shows, a few hallmark techniques show up again and again:

• Smart swaps – using cashews, cauliflower, beans, tofu, avocado, and coconut to recreate creamy or cheesy textures (like cashew Alfredo, cauliflower ricotta, avocado mousse)
• Layered flavor – building dishes with aromatics (onion, garlic), herbs, acids (citrus, vinegars), plus spices from global cuisines
• Texture play – roasting, grilling, and pan‑searing veggies, nuts, and proteins to add crisp and chew so dishes feel hearty
• Naturally gluten free – leaning on whole grains (quinoa, brown rice), corn, and chickpea flours instead of wheat
• Minimal fuss – approachable techniques you can do in a home kitchen, often one‑pan or blender-friendly

Are you more interested in savory mains, desserts, or quick weeknight meals?
