Sprouts get a bad rep, nobody really likes them and they are too often cooked as a Christmas tradition rather than a welcome part of Christmas dins. Controversially, I actually rate them and think that they are delicious! But as with most veg the success is in the cooking of the sprouts and the flavour [...]
I am a sucker for a good stew in the Autumn/Winter, especially if it comes with dumplings. They are nostalgic, fluffy, crisp on the top and slightly soggy on the bottom, balls of deliciousness. These dumplings have a shed load of dill added to them to add a little bit of flavour and complement the [...]
Autumn has well and truly set in with rainy days and chilly evenings, however it has bought us squash season! Butternut squash can be found in abundance in the supermarket at the moment, making it the perfect center piece of your meal. Served with a rich garlicky tomato sauce, chilli flakes and a dill and [...]
These burger buns are made using an enriched dough, making them soft, fluffy and delicious. They take a bit of time and an ounce of effort to make but the results are well worth it for a warm bun straight out of the oven in which to put your burger. Although this recipe makes two [...]
Potato wedges, chips, fries...whatever you want to call them they are always a winner. I prefer mine to be crispy on the outside but still soft in the middle for that perfect potato wedge goodness. These wedges are marinated in a soy, dark brown sugar and garlic dressing and then baked low and slow to [...]
A perfect dish to share with friends in the last of the summer sun we are having. Zatar and cumin work so well together with the cauliflower to bring a complex level of flavour. Pair it with the fresh and slightly spicy puree it really is a winner! Serve with flatbreads and a side salad [...]
A feel good dinner, that warms you from the inside out. Full of fragrant ginger, umami miso and crispy tofu it is a great dinner for rainy days or a quick midweek dinner. The recipe for the gyoza's can be found here - not an essential addition but all the more tasty for it! Serves [...]
A lovely summery lunch dish to serve with salad and a good dollop of garlic mayonnaise. Although it looks complicated this recipe is actually very easy to make, especially when you use bought puff pastry (even in lockdown - no one has time to make puff pastry from scratch!). Serves 4 (as a side) or [...]
I absolutely love mayonnaise. It was probably the hardest thing about moving towards a plant based diet, as there just weren't any good alternatives on the market. And the ones that were either tasted like looked like PVA glue or tasted so oily it was unpalatable. Thankfully now there are a few emerging onto the [...]
A recipe adapted from Sabrina Ghayours Rose Harissa Pasta from her book Bazaar - it was too good not to recreate in my own way! A little spicy kick from the Rose Harissa and a mellow creaminess from Tahini this pasta sauce almost tastes quite meaty. The sauce itself could also be used as a [...]
