Ratatouille is often served as a side dish, but for me, cooked like this, it’s the star of the show. Roasting the ingredients in one pan not only makes this a quick and easy dish to make but gives a depth of flavour that’s very rich and satisfying. Serving it with quinoa (complete in all […]
“These muffins are really simple to make and you could add different fruits and flavourings to the basic recipe.”Chantal x
When butternut squash first became fashionable I just couldn’t understand what all the fuss was about – I didn’t really like its sweet taste. But knowing it was good for me (being extremely rich in vitamins and flavonoids etc) I persevered and devised this soup. I’m so glad I did because now it’s one of […]
“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
“…samosas with a twist. You can cheat by using filo pastry, but I think it’s nicer to make your own. These tasty snacks also have the added surprise of pistachio to add an extra layer of nuttiness.”Alastair
“This can be made a day in advance and takes less than 30 minutes. It can be enjoyed hot or cold. Wonderful eating all year round.”Katy
“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
“This veggie korma includes my all-time favourite combination of veggies for curries. It’s quick and incredibly simple to make.”Sharon
“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
“The coconut adds creaminess, while the lime and lemongrass add some tanginess to the sweet peas. We hope you will love this soup just as much as we do.”Michael & Julia
“This is the perfect recipe to make the night before as a packed lunch for work, and still tastes delicious cold from the fridge several days later.”Michael & Julia
“Mixed Beans with homemade Spicy Salsa, Lime Rice and Guacamole in a Soft Tortilla Wrap – great for lunch!” (p.s. you can make your own lime rice, guacamole & salsa or buy some pre-made.) VVx
Fennel! It’s crunchy, sweet, and I can’t get enough of it. It’s the star of this salad, and works really well with its partners: celery, green lentils, and apple cider vinegar.Emily x
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
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 is a thick, creamy, nutritious dish that serves delightfully well as part of a salad buffet. Like most vegetables, cauliflower is really good for you and an essential addition to a healthy diet. The thick tahini sauce complements it perfectly as a nutrient rich, protein dense, satiating and delicious addition to the plate.Trinity x
This kale wrap is exactly the sort of thing that I might have to give me a super nutrient boost (although, not forgetting that it makes an excellent every day salad too). Trinity x
The soup was as creamy as creamy can be, and was the easiest soup to make. I followed my theory of the “one” soup recipe, which uses one of each ingredient. You can never go wrong as everything you add is one of something. My Dad even remarked that this ‘soup’ was the best tasting […]
My favourite item in a picnic hamper without a doubt is a porcini and sweetcorn tofu quiche. The filling can either be used in a quiche or as a filling for a pasty, both taste so good.Jasmine 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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.
…packed full of all the good stuff. Sugar-free and sweetened with 100% natural apple sauce and raisins, these will give you the energy you need to start the day off, without the mid-morning sugar-induced crash.
If you enjoy porridge then this is a lovely super-easy alternative, and one you can eat cold.
You could argue that everything is portable but I don’t want to carry multiple items to and from work every day. My solution is homemade vegan muesli, which I transport in a nifty 2 pot stacker with vegan yoghurt. When I get to work I mix the two together and voila breakfast is served! As […]
