A true British classic, the mighty fish and chips! When you go to a chippy and order a portion of these, the content squeezed between the layers of paper (newspaper back in the day) consist of the biggest ever fillet of fish you could imagine, drenched and deep fried in crispy batter sitting on top… Continue reading Vegan Fish and Chips

Bangers and Mash
A friend from America video called me just to ask what bangers and mash was because he was at an English pub in the US stuck on what to order! I responded with ‘sausages and mashed potato obviously’! Total comfort food for me. I absolutely adored sausages and still do now. Dunking them in ketchup… Continue reading Bangers and Mash
Cajun Cauliflower Tacos
It’s not really common for me to use cauliflower as a main ingredient in my recipes but recently I went to a hummus restaurant that served whole roasted cauliflower heads with big ass knives stabbed through the centre and dammit I wanted to copy them! Well I didn’t stick a big axe through the middle… Continue reading Cajun Cauliflower Tacos
Sweet Potato Toasties
I’ve never been a huge fan of white potatoes (no offense to white spud lovers) - sweet potatoes are just so much more flavoursome, take less time to cook and are also much more nourishing. As a dietitian from London, I have a moderate (ok, severe) obsession with the UK’s public health promotion of the… Continue reading Sweet Potato Toasties
Magic Mushroom Toast (vegan | gluten-free)
Okay, so it’s not really those shrooms I may have led you to believe, but believe me when I say this magic mushroom toast really does taste magical! Golden brown with bits of crispiness and softness running through then crunchy buttered toast bursting with super savoury umami-ness and a peppery kick. A pile of cream… Continue reading Magic Mushroom Toast (vegan | gluten-free)
Thai Green Curry Noodle Soup
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)
