These tacos depend on my favourite flavour and texture combinations, with creamy lime guacamole, herby tomato salsa, rich and meaty lentils, stringy vegan cheese, and salty, crunchy taco shells.”Emily
“This pad thai is satisfying. And I mean SATISFYING. Thanks to its extra-filling combo of big, fat, starchy noodles, protein-packed tofu, and salty-fatty peanuts, it will sate even the most rabidly hungry person, vegan or not. (You can either marinate your own tofu or buy ready-made.)” Emily
