TIKKA MASALA TOFU
It’s funny when a single ingredient evokes a need to have a certain dish for tea and today it was Tikka Masala Tofu. I was in the yogurt aisle of the supermarket getting the Alpro Cherry [...]
THREE BEAN COTTAGE PIE
When it comes to cottage pie, I’m a bit of a stickler on the ingredients. Firstly, it HAS to have celery, green lentils and chopped up vegan sausages. Carrots, chopped tomatoes and marmite are also critical [...]
VEGAN POTATO SALAD
For years as a veggie, my go-to house party/BBQ contribution was always potato salad. I have to say, it was pretty good. Creamy Hellman’s mayo with squashed up baby potatoes, chives and salt and pepper. Simple [...]

CHICK’N AND BEAN STEW
A Chick’n and Bean Stew in this weather is surely not appropriate is it? It’s hot hot hot outside and my kids keep telling me to stop giving them hot food on the “hottest day ever” [...]
MUSHROOM AND KALE SOUP
As a vegetarian I loved Mushroom soup but now when I see it on the soup of the day menu in a pub or restaurant I get a pang of envy and give up on the [...]
