This is a great chilli recipe for those who don’t like eating fake meat, or who want to get more beans and lentils into their diet. It is modelled very much on the chilli recipe from my book Going Vegan, but with a few variations. For example, there is no coffee in this one but …
These are the standard chickpea flour wraps, but with the addition of kale and dill to the batter to give it a green colour, and to get a little extra veggies in us. This is done by adding the kale, dill and some lime juice to water and blending together until completely smooth. That then …

This dish uses the same technique as the potato rosti and is a great way of doing something a little different with your spuds. It involves grating the raw potato and squeezing as much of the moisture out as you can so that you don’t end up with a mushy, water-logged mixture that isn’t going …
With an endless variety of chilli sauces on the market, it’s understandable to ask the question ‘why bother making my own?’ It’s a perfectly reasonable question. There are a lot of really good chilli sauces out there that don’t cost much more than a pound to buy, which is cheaper than buying the ingredients and …

I really can’t remember when I first discovered nachos. It was probably at a restaurant I worked at that had them on the menu. I know I didn’t have them growing up, and I was certainly into adulthood before I’d tasted them. Whenever it was, I’ve gone back for more many times since. As a …
Despite the presence of chilli, this is by no means a spicy burger. What the chilli does here is balance the sweetness of the dates and the bulk of the quinoa. If your pallet is sensitive then you might notice it, otherwise you will not. This is a very earthy burger that is also vibrant …
I’ve been pondering this recipe for a couple of weeks now. Will it work? Should I even try it? It sounds like it should work, after all, guacamole and humous are a vegan’s two best friends, right? But I still wasn’t sure. Of course, the only way to know the answer was to do it. …
I ordered something recently from a Lebanese restaurant that gave me the idea to do these. These are very simple baby new potatoes, boiled until tender and then pan-fried. A non-stick wok is the best tool for this if you have one as there’s plenty of room for the potatoes to move around as they …
