We’ve been enjoying packets of vegan fudge in our house for quite a while now and a recent conversation with my wife got me thinking about how great it would be to have the fudge in a cookie, just like it was chocolate chip. This recipe is the product of that discussion: a very simple …
This is a very straightforward pie recipe that you can use either as a main meal or as part of your buffet on any occasion you might be having. Mini shortcrust pastry pies filled with vegan chicken pieces, courgettes and a creamy vegan cheese sauce. These are great so serve either hot, chilled or at …
A slaw in winter isn’t perhaps the first thing one might think of, and one might even eschew the idea in favour of warmer delights, but with the right ingredients a slaw can be a great winter accompaniment to a variety of dishes. Savoy cabbage is under-used in its raw form (often in its cooked …
Fresh cranberries only appear in the supermarkets for a short time leading up to Christmas and just beyond, so it is a good idea to take advantage of their small window of availability using their unique flavour in a variety of sweet and savoury dishes.

Vegan meringues are a lot easier to make than you might think. They are made most often from chickpea water (also known as aquafaba), either from dried chickpeas you have cooked at home, or drained from a can. I predominantly use canned chickpea water for my aquafaba dishes, simply because it’s easier to get hold …
