When thinking of potatoes; chips, mash and roasties all come to mind. I am pretty sure protein wouldn’t be the first or even fifteenth thing to be suggested. Traditionally baking relies on eggs to bind, aerate and emulsify cakes, biscuits and breads. However, there is a new trend emerging that uses potato protein as a [...]
Veganuary (NOUN) an annual event that encourages non-vegans to adopt a vegan diet during the month of January Since its official conception in 2014, Veganuary has attracted nearly 500,000 official participants in over 160 countries worldwide. As stated above it is about challenging and encouraging people to follow a vegan diet for one month. No doubt originally chosen as the [...]
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 [...]
What once started as a cookie recipe, a lapse in concentration and one happy accident later, this cookie tray bake was born. Gooey in the middle, with minor flapjack vibes, this tray bake is super easy to whip up for a last minute snack. The Tahini is optional and can easily be left out if [...]
Gyoza's were always something that I loved eating and loved watching videos of people folding on Instagram - very mesmerising if you haven't got trapped in that IG watching spiral yet. However, I never thought that they were really feasible to make at home until I bucked myself up and tried it. And to my [...]
In January of this year, I took a leap of faith. Jumping out of my office job and straight into the kitchens of Le Cordon Bleu in Bloomsbury Square, London. Having been feeling quite professionally unfulfilled and stuck in a rut for a while, I wanted to feel accomplished again. I began looking around the [...]
A comfort food stable as we head into autumn - Mac & Cheese. As with quite a few of my recipes this one has a little twist to increase the number of veggies in this dish. The sauce is made from potatoes and carrots - which sounds weird I totally get that, but it isn't [...]
So using jackfruit in a recipe is a first for me. The only time I have ever tried it before this was in Thailand and I kid you not it tasted like a cross between loudly feet and rotten onions. It was vile and I didn't get the obsession with it for ages. But I [...]
Have you tried the new meatless meatballs from Leon's? They are amazing! And if you haven't then don't worry as this recipe is my take on vegan meatballs and they sure are tasty. They are super easy to make and are amazingly flavourful - the perfect addition to a creamy pasta alfredo or a rich [...]
