This is a great recipe if you have some leftover rhubarb in your garden, in addition to some fresh blueberries, available now in most supermarkets if you don’t grow them. It’s the kind of thing you can throw together late one evening, as it only requires the occasional stir. You can then leave it to …
What is it about a plate of plump vegan meatballs in a rich tomato sauce, nestled comfortably on a soft pillow of spaghetti that is so satisfying even before a single mouthful is taken? It is a dish where even the sight and smell of it has its own umami. It creates thrilling anticipation from …
To veganise something like Enchiladas now is incredibly easy with the variety of ingredients available in most supermarkets. For this one I have used fresh vegan mince, along with mushrooms and onions for the chilli base. Don’t worry if you don’t like eating vegan mince, you can always substitute this chilli for my Sweet Potato, …
I first tried this dish about 25 years ago, when my Spanish girlfriend made it for me in a bedsit we shared in North London back in the mid-nineties. It was cooked on one of those old Baby Belling stoves that you would often see in bedsits back in those days (they might still have …

I’ve been meaning to post a vegan Moussaka for some time but it’s one of those recipes I hadn’t yet got around to doing (there are many of them). Recipes for moussaka vary considerably from region to region and it is a popular dish throughout the Balkans and the Middle East. We are perhaps more …
Not everyone will like vegan black pudding. I happened to like it before I went vegan and love the plant-based version. My wife, however, can’t stand it. As far as I know, there is only one company that makes them and they are the Bury Black Pudding company. You can buy it at Asda, or …
We’re often missing ideas for a good Sunday or Christmas vegan main dish. I try to come up with something new most years, in order to have a little bit of variety and some options to choose from. This Vegan Mince and Chestnut Pie I came up with about 3 years ago but had yet …
It’s still a little early for festive treats and I wasn’t thinking at all of Christmas when I came up with the idea for these homemade sausage rolls. I just though they sounded pretty good in my head, and so I decided to make them. They will certainly be perfect for Christmas, when the time …
