“It’s messy grating beetroot but this recipe is fun to try and the taste of the burgers makes it all worthwhile! (NB it does involve some chilling/firming time of at least an hour, so factor this in to your schedule)”Chantal x

These pancakes are something special. I love these things so much that in the week I developed the recipe I made them no fewer than four times!Emily *recipe first featured on Veganuary
Fluffy American-style Pancakes
vlaweb | February 14, 2015
Pancakes were my all-time favourite breakfast before I became Vegan – and they still are! It was a total revelation that you can make them egg-free and dairy-free. I think they are even more delicious!!Chantal x

“There is nothing better on a chilly early winter’s evening than a piping hot straight from the oven pie. Layers of pastry, creamy sauce and loads of winter vegetables. Just perfect!”VV
Lentil Walnut Roast
vlaweb | December 10, 2014
“This recipe is delicious, nutrient dense and slices very well cold the next day for sandwiches too. Quantities are for a large loaf serving four generous roast dinner portions with leftovers.”Lucy

“Not only are these falafels gluten free and vegan but they are filling, temptingly tasty and really nutritious.”Trinity
Roast Vegetable Medley & Red Onion Gravy
vlaweb | December 9, 2014
“If you’re looking for some last minute inspiration for the dinner table tomorrow then how about this medley of bright roasted veg. Nigerian-style no less, with yam and plantain and sweet potatoes thrown in for good measure.” Tomi
Pineapple & Groundnut Stir-fry

“…refreshing pineapple, crunchy peppers and earthy groundnut coated in a sticky-sweet sauce.”Tomi
Vegan Haggis
vlaweb | December 9, 2014
“If you’re thinking ‘It can’t be a haggis without meat’, I say only this: I’ve shared a veggie haggis with some Scottish friends before and if it’s good enough for them it’s good enough for me.”Alastair
Thai-style Burgers
vlaweb | December 9, 2014
“I love (vegan) Thai food. It uses some of my favourite flavours- limes, coconut, lemongrass and ginger to name but a few.“Alastair
Vegetable Biryani
vlaweb | December 9, 2014
“This is a perfect mid-week recipe that is easy to prepare- and the oven does all the hard work. It’s also cooked in one pot, so less washing up!”Katy
vlaweb | December 8, 2014
“Packed with an array of colourful, crispy vegetables that need only a brief moment in the pan, stir fries can be prepared, cooked and served far quicker than it will take you to order and pick up a take away!”Sharon

“This Spinach and Mushroom Pie has a creamy filling topped with mashed potatoes, and is perfect for Sunday lunch.”Jasmine

“If you’ve never tried kale before and the thought of it in a smoothie sounds weird then this recipe is the one for you. Rather than packing the roast full of kale I decided it was best used to dress up the lentils, ready for a party on your plate!” Jasmine

“Suya is a popular street food in Nigeria – a shish kebab usually prepared using strips of skewered beef coated with suya spice (a.k.a. ‘yaji’) and oil, and then grilled over charcoal. It is normally sold wrapped in old newspaper and is a firm favourite among consumers across the nation. Various spice mixes exist; this […]

Beans and Plantain Cakes
vlaweb | December 8, 2014
“…I always wondered why so much effort went into making mock versions of meat products. … but I’ve come to realise that there’s something fun about trying to re-appropriate long-standing dietary favourites that I once thought I couldn’t live without.” Tomi
Autumn. Cold winds. Rain. Hail. Even a few moments of snow yesterday between bursts of hot sunshine. Walking on the South side of the hill in the woods it is suddenly no longer autumn but the end of summer. Off with jackets, faces to the sun then round the corner into the North and winter, […]
Made using up leftover Redwood turkey roast here but you could also use a pack of ‘cheatin chicken’ or indeed leave out the meat sub altogether – it’s the veg that makes it delicious anyway!Lucy x
Coconut, Cauliflower and Chickpea Soup
The coconut and tomato in this recipe dance and twirl so delightfully through the cauliflower and chickpeas (garbanzo beans) to provide a lip-lickin’ nurturing meal. It’s simple (less is more in this case) and incredibly satiating. Enjoy…Trinity x
This soup is so simple to make and you can make it while your bread is baking. You’ll have lunch on the table in no time. The best thing is, if you’re using a bread maker you can put your feet up with a cuppa while the lentils are cooking. The soup will easily feed […]
Roasted Butternut Soup with Parsley Pesto
I love butternut squash; in risotto, pasta and especially soup. It roasts beautifully and blends like a dream to create a silken soup that is perfect for the summer-to-autumn transitional season. This dish is so easy to make, you don’t even have to peel and chop the butternut squash- simply bake it whole in it’s […]
Pea and Courgette Fritters with Smoky Tomato Chutney
It’s that time of the week again; I look inside my fridge and there’s very little left! So I rustled up some store cupboard ingredients and grated a lonely looking courgette to create these scrummy pea and courgette fritters. Within ten minutes, you can also create a smokey, fiery pan-chutney with juicy ripe tomatoes, flavoursome […]
Italian Bean and Pasta Soup
For me, this is the perfect soup for Autumn Winter. It’s hearty, warming and filling. It’s also low prep and super cheap to make (even if you use quality organic ingredients!) We often serve it for Saturday lunch, but it also makes a great week day dinner, served with crusty seeded bread or warm garlic […]
Lightly Spiced Parnsip Soup
This soup is sweet, silky smooth, warming and oh so yummy! For me, this is another soup that’s perfect for Autumn/Fall. The spice I used was Garam Masala, which gives the soup a gentle hint of Indian curry. Lil’ L loves it, so hopefully other children will too.
These pancakes are fantastic if you’re trying to reduce your sugar intake. A wholesome way to start the day. The touch of cinnamon also creates a warm Christmassy aroma that fills the entire house.
If you enjoy porridge then this is a lovely super-easy alternative, and one you can eat cold.
