There is a bug going around as I write this. It has passed dispassionately through my family and has now introduced itself to me with a moist and clammy handshake. As a result, the well-meaning plans of productivity I had for the day (paint the hallway, go shopping for ingredients) have taken a back seat …
I’ve been looking to expand into a little more Cajun and Creole cooking and adding a few dishes from that region into my repertoire, so I’m very excited to be presenting this vegan Jambalaya recipe. I’ve used ingredients that get us as close to the original version as possible, such as vegan chorizo sausage and …
Parathas are a pan-fried Indian flatbread, often stuffed with spicy lentils and other ingredients. They can be a meal in themselves, but are perfect when served with a light curry for dipping. I have chosen to use lentils again for the curry, which isn’t as overkill as it might sound, and makes this a perfect …

Sandwiches are often an afterthought in vegan cooking, but the versatility of them can actually be quite astounding. There are almost endless varieties of patties and mixtures that you can put between two slices of bread and have as an easy lunch or a light supper.

This is a very simple lunch that it prefect for the hot weather we’re currently having. This is not a strict tabbouleh recipe (which are typically parsley-based with bulgur wheat), but more my interpretation of it. I’ve chosen quinoa as the base because you can easily get it already cooked in packets at your local …
I’ve been making pizzas for what seems like forever (since I was thirteen years old) but I’ve only in recent years been making Calzone pizzas. They have become, in a short space of time, my favourite way to eat a pizza. While it is true that it can feel like you’re getting half a pizza …
These vegan sausage and aubergine balls are a hearty meal for any day of the week. They are made from fresh vegan sausages and pan-fried aubergine, which are then rolled into a ball that you can either fry or cook in the oven. You can also turn this into a quick dish by making the …

These Sweet Potato and Vegan Mince Quesadillas are fast becoming a favourite in my household. They are very much like having a fried, flat taco. If you serve them straight out of the pan, the bread will also have a satisfying crunch as you bite down or cut into it. Sweet, spicy and dripping with …
This vegan sausage and kale curry is ready to eat in just under an hour. It uses very simple ingredients, with just a few spices that you can pick up from your local supermarket and have on hand for future dishes. You can use frozen or fresh vegan sausages, and if you’re not a fan …
Prior to what I’ll call the plant-based revolution, and by that I’m referring to this period of time we’re living in right now where new vegan (often meat-like) products are being released onto the market on a seemingly weekly basis, vegans would satisfy their desire for simulated meat by making homemade seitan. There are a …
