Fluffy balls of garlic dough. What could be better? I know that for me, for a long time, baking bread was an area of cooking that I wasn’t ready to venture into. I saw it as complicated and difficult. But since I’ve started baking more, I’ve realised this was a complete misconception. This garlic dough recipe is super simple, and hard to get wrong.
An Italian classic made with an abundance of olive oil to create a mouthwatering pillowy bread. Topped with a generous helping of sea salt and fresh rosemary, this bread wont stick around long
A different, and potentially simpler version of this staple, is making one all in the frying pan. Quick, easy and great to adapt to different portion sizes. Therefore perfect if making just the one portion, or for you and someone else!
Puff pastry is one of life’s delights. Light, fluffy, crumbly and buttery. These little turnovers are a staple for any mix of vegetables inside, but for this recipe I’ve chosen cavolo nero, leeks, potatoes and wild mushrooms for an interesting winter mix.
Hearty, warming and made with all of the best winter vegetables! The cold season is here, and I am craving baking trays filled with vegetables and warming sauces, spices, and carbs. Gratins are a favourite in our house, because frankly topping your food with breadcrumbs is always a good idea.
If you haven’t tried a smoked tofu burger, then this simple recipe will make you a convert!
Sweet and sour is a classic dish that so many of us love, so why not try it out with tofu?
Adding a little spice to these veganised nuggets makes these a perfect way to enjoy tofu as a sharing dish
Make sure your mushy peas are as fresh and green as possible with this simple minty mushy peas recipe
Tartar, with one of it’s main ingredients being mayonnaise, sadly isn’t vegan. But thankfully we now have an abundance of vegan mayonnaise options in our supermarkets, making homemade vegan tartar sauce an option!
One of my favourite meals as a kid was fish fingers and chips. So classic, so nostalgic and so simply delicious. Since going vegan over 8 years ago, I have learnt how to add these classics into my life, without having to compromise my plant based diet.
Sometimes we struggle for ideas when it comes to sandwich fillers as a vegan, so why not try a classic ploughman's?
A British classic, this tofu “egg” and cress sandwich doesn’t involve any animal products, but tastes absolutely delicious. Perfect if you’re vegan or plant based, and missing the nostalgic classics for your lunch!
A simple yet yummy yoghurt dip that is perfect to drizzle on salad, or as a side to a curry.
It’s hot outside and this salad will hit the spot with juicy mangoes and creamy avocado!
Inspired by Lebanese cooking, this courgette and tahini dip is a yummy accompaniment to any salad
An amazing Lebanese salad with fresh radish, tomato and, of course, bread!
