Well not long ago, I made a Thai red curry paste, but I ran out so today I thought, why not go all out and try making a green one so I can have a Thai Green Curry Noodle Soup - makes sense! The base for the paste is pretty much the same with just… Continue reading Thai Green Curry Noodle Soup

Sage and Onion Stuffing Balls
I never thought it was possible to have sage and onion stuffing balls without sausage meat, shoved up a turkey hole or drenched in meat juices. Well this year it became evident to me that sage and onion stuffing is actually able to perfectly function without animal input (well just my input but without me… Continue reading Sage and Onion Stuffing Balls
Seitan Meatballs
One thing I miss quite a bit since giving up meat are meatballs. Not that I ate them often, but it’s just so difficult to form meaty balls that stick together and remain intact after cooking, that I miss the ease of making a savoury ball smothered in tangy tomato sauce. Though today was a… Continue reading Seitan Meatballs
Vegan Mushroom Minced Meat (gluten free)
There’s something very meaty about mushrooms and I’m going to make the most of their meat factor, starting with this vegan mushroom minced meat right here, right now. It’s evident from the myriad of recipes out there, that eating vegan doesn’t mean limiting yourself. It means thinking outside of the box and if anything, actually… Continue reading Vegan Mushroom Minced Meat (gluten free)
Coronation Chickpea Sandwich (vegan | gluten-free)
Now this is one dish I truly miss since cutting out meat, coronation chicken. However, what I did realise was that it was the delectable mayonnaise infused with sweet Indian spices and bits of juicy mango and sultanas working in tandem with one another that were responsible for bringing this filling to life and making… Continue reading Coronation Chickpea Sandwich (vegan | gluten-free)
Sweet and Sour Tofu (vegan | gluten-free)
We all know Chinese food in England isn’t authentic Chinese food, but that’s not to say it tastes bad. I’ve grown up with sweet and sour chicken and it’s a taste I will never forget or want to leave behind. Though my days of chicken-eating are over, my sweet and sour cravings are still prominent.… Continue reading Sweet and Sour Tofu (vegan | gluten-free)
Caramelised Apple, Walnut and Lentil Pate (vegan | gluten-free | grain-free)
It’s not the most sophisticated of foods, but I’m sure many people would agree that the power of toast is one that cannot be compared to many other foods. Not only does it taste impeccable (well maybe a little OTT), but it really is so versatile. A blank canvas that can be utilised for powerful… Continue reading Caramelised Apple, Walnut and Lentil Pate (vegan | gluten-free | grain-free)
Oatcake Slabs (vegan | gluten-free)
Most people (such as my boyfriend) think that, after lettuce, oatcakes are the most boring food to exist on this planet. I on the other hand happen to disagree. I think that their gentle oaty fragrance, milky taste, crumbly texture and versatility as a food item in general are real competitive attributes to this tough… Continue reading Oatcake Slabs (vegan | gluten-free)
Curry Night Tacos – Aubergine Curry (vegan | gluten-free)
Curry night is a religiously celebrated weekly event in England by at least ninety percent of the country’s population. It is typically held on a Friday or Saturday night and as the name suggests, it involves consuming as much curry, naan bread, pilau rice and Cobra beers as your stomach can handle and usually, the… Continue reading Curry Night Tacos – Aubergine Curry (vegan | gluten-free)
Alternative Coleslaw (vegan | gluten-free)
I’m pretty sure that there’s some hormonal imbalance that’s making me so damn hungry all the time! Of course vegetables are the go-to option but without a bit of fat, they’re so bloody boring. One of my faves is coleslaw but with all that mayo, I may as well have a cake. The ‘alternative’… Continue reading Alternative Coleslaw (vegan | gluten-free)
