Vegan Chickpea “Tuna” aka Chuna
I thought I’d share how I make my chickpea chuna as it’s slowly changed over the years. It was initially lacking any sort of fishy flavour, at that point in my veganism I’d not tried any seaweed, or vegan fish sauce, so I was unaware of those things. I actually always hated fish before I… Continue reading Vegan Chickpea “Tuna” aka Chuna
Vegan Cream Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms
I’m sure it’s probably obvious by now, but I love mushrooms. I could eat them every day and never tire of them. This is a fun way to use beautiful field mushrooms, and tofu based cream cheese.

Halloumi Style Tofu
Tolloumi? Hallofu? Halloumi style tofu! This halloumi style tofu has a firm, chewy texture, with a salty and tangy flavour.

Use it to serve with… Continue reading Halloumi Style Tofu

Spinach & Nutmeg Soup
Okay bear with me, because if you’re anything like me, then this might sound like a bit of a weird soup. Spinach and nutmeg? Hmm…not sure about that. The ultra green colour may also be a touch off-putting to some perhaps. But I tried this soup recently from a cafe in my area, they always… Continue reading Spinach & Nutmeg Soup
