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)
1-step Hummus (vegan | gluten-free)
I guess all bog-standard hummus recipes only require 1 step, but when you read the words out loud from paper (or your screen if you’re below the age of sixty), it just makes it that little more obvious how fucking easy it is to cook something! There’s no cooking even required! Hummus is friggin awesome… Continue reading 1-step Hummus (vegan | gluten-free)
Just Vermicelli (vegan | gluten-free)
Sometimes, a cold snack just doesn’t do it for me. When I’m peckish, there are times where I simply just want a snack that’s hot- in England, that’s pretty fitting for the weather 364 days of the year. I don’t understand why hot snacks aren’t more common actually. After a visit to China town, I… Continue reading Just Vermicelli (vegan | gluten-free)
Shepherd’s Pie (vegan | gluten-free)
It’s human nature to crave comfort food. When times are rough, when you’ve got the weekday blues or simply when you’re reminiscing about the past, those home comforts are what we reach out for. Now that I no longer live with my parents (thank goodness for that!) I’m left to my own devices in every… Continue reading Shepherd’s Pie (vegan | gluten-free)
Thai Rice and Beans Bowl (vegan | gluten-free)
Thai food seems to be on everyone’s top 5 favourite food lists of all time, and understandably so. Packed full of flavour, spice and usually a lot of coconut, it’s a collaboration of ingredients that can’t be celebrated enough. This bowl is right up your alley if you’re a fan. An infusion of rich coconut… Continue reading Thai Rice and Beans Bowl (vegan | gluten-free)
