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 […]
Specially for British Pie Week 2015 I rustled up this beauty again. You can add faux meat pieces if you like or stick with the mushrooms and try different varieties too. The rich flavourful gravy makes this a hearty crowd pleaser.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 […]
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
“This is great as a starter or you can serve with corn on the cob and crusty homemade bread for a main meal.”VV
“Mexican food speaks to me in a way that nothing else does. It’s laid back and comfortable, fresh and flavourful, simple and satisfying. 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
“Topped with some roasted pine nuts and lemon thyme, this light and fragrant risotto is the kind of comfort food we love.”Michael & Julia
“This gluten free, vegan lasagne is a fantastic alternative to the meaty, dairy laden versions. It’s tasty, filling and full of healthy protein and nutritional goodness. In this version I use twirly rice fusilli pasta instead of flat lasagne pasta sheets.”Trinity
“Not only are these falafels gluten free and vegan but they are filling, temptingly tasty and really nutritious.”Trinity
“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
“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
“I love (vegan) Thai food. It uses some of my favourite flavours- limes, coconut, lemongrass and ginger to name but a few.“Alastair
“…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 dish combines plump and earthy mushrooms with onions, garlic and spinach in a creamy white wine and thyme sauce, baked in cannelloni pasta before being topped with chopped, mixed seasonal tomatoes.”Katy
“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
“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 dish was ready and on my plate in 20 minutes, how’s that for speed?!”Jasmine
“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
“I don’t know about you but I love risotto, especially mushroom risotto. It’s the perfect Valentine meal, with all that love, care and attention it is given while you make it.” 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
“I’ve used butter beans in this recipe but please feel free to use whatever type you have in your kitchen cupboard.” Tomi
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
Is it me, or is avocado toast everywhere lately? It’s been a good while since my various news feeds haven’t had some variant of this dish on it: with smushed-up avocado, or sliced-up, or somewhere between smushed and sliced. Anyway, here’s my take on avocado toast. I like my avocados semi-smushed, on rye, with a […]
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
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 […]
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.
