Gourmet vegan burger from Weatherspoons with my Mom. I've never had this burger cooked so well before, it was slightly crisp on the outside, but soft and juicy inside Isn't is amazing how mock meats have come on in leaps and bounds these last few years. Well done @meatlessfarm 👏 I love their products I hope your weekend is going well 💚 ° ° ° ° ° #burger #meatlessfarms #spoons #pub #pubgrub #plantbased #avocado #lemonade #veganfood #veganism #poweredbyplants #veganforlife #lunch #mockmeat

Spring green vegetable tarts - puff pastry topped with herby cream cheese, spring onion and roasted asparagus. They're really easy to make, you don't need to pre cook the asparagus, it roasts as the tarts cook in the oven I'll pop the recipe below if you'd like to try it. I hope you have a lovely weekend 💚 To make 4 large tarts you will need 1️⃣320g/11oz of puff pastry 2️⃣200g/7oz dairy free herby cream cheese 3️⃣4 spring onions, sliced 4️⃣250g/9oz asparagus tips 5️⃣1 tablespoon of plant milk Method 1️⃣The puff pastry I used was by @jus_rol , they clearly mark their products as suitable for vegans Allow your pastry to come to room temperature before unrolling it. If your pastry isn't pre-rolled, just roll it out into a large rectangle 2️⃣Cut into four equal sized pieces 3️⃣Mix the spring onion and cream cheese together, then spread it evenly on each piece of pastry, avoiding the edges 4️⃣Lay the asparagus tips onto the cream cheese & onion mixture. Using a sharp knife, gently score a line around the asparagus, then brush a little milk onto the pastry 5️⃣Bake at 200ºC/180ºC fan assisted/350ºF for 12-15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown ° ° ° ° ° #tart #vegetabletart #asparagus #plantbased #lunch #asparagustart #creamcheese #puffpastry #pastry #recipe #veganrecipe #bethanysvegankitchen

Roasted red pepper & tomato pasta sauce, roasting peppers is a great way to use peppers that are a bit past their prime. That way they don't go to waste They also add a lovely flavour to a tomato pasta sauce. You can freeze left over sauce in small portions, then defrost when needed. I'll pop the recipe below if you want to try it 💚 Yield; 4 servings Cook time; 40 minutes You’ll need 2 teaspoons of oil 3 red peppers 3 cloves of garlic, minced 1 small brown onion, chopped 1 400g/14oz tin of chopped tomatoes Half a teaspoon of both dried oregano & dried basil Salt & black pepper to taste 300g/10.5oz dry weight pasta Method 1️⃣Start by roasting the peppers. Remove the seeds, then chop them into quarters. Lay them onto a lined baking tray skin side up, and sprinkle over a teaspoon of oil. Bake at 220ºC/200ºC fan assisted/400ºF for about 20 minutes, or until the skin begins to blacken Then leave them to cool, once cool peel off and discard the skins 2️⃣Now for the sauce. Add a teaspoon of oil into a small saucepan over a medium heat. Pop in the garlic and cook for 1 minute, then add the onion 3️⃣Allow the onion and garlic to cook for five minutes, then add the tomatoes, herbs & peppers 4️⃣Cover with a lid and allow to gently simmer for 10 minutes, stirring every now and then. While that’s cooking, cook the pasta as per the instructions on the pack 5️⃣Once the pasta is cooked use an immersion blender or food processor to blend the pasta sauce until completely smooth 6️⃣Then drain the pasta and stir through the sauce, and serve ° ° ° ° ° #redpepper #roastedpepper #penne #pasta #recipe #garlic #tomato #plantbased #easyrecipes #veganism #bethanysvegankitchen

Vegan nachos topped with dairy free cheese, guacamole, salsa and jalapeños, and a vegan sausage baguette. Both were lovely and I'd definitely have them again I didn't know of this place until I downloaded the @happycow app. It's so handy and tells you all your local vegan options. I'd definitely recommend downloading it and seeing if there's any vegan food places near you that you might have missed This isn't an ad I just get excited when trying new vegan food Hope you have a lovely week 💚 ° ° ° ° ° #vegan #nachos #vegancheese #baguette #guacamole #salsa #lunch #veganfoodspot #kentvegan #rochester #plantbased #plantpower

Vegan Cheese Advice - How to get the best melt, specific cheese recommendations, and I'm sharing some dairy free cheesy recipes.

Already back at Creams, this time I had an alphonso mango milkshake, and vegan chocolate waffle. Swipe ➡️ for a closer look Both were brilliant, the mango milkshake was creamy but refreshing. The waffle was so soft and fluffy, and topped with chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, nuts, cherries and chocolate sorbet I was skeptical of chocolate sorbet, I thought it might be like freezer burnt ice cream, but it wasn't at all. It was creamy and smooth, with a delicious chocolate flavour. I had no idea that was possible The waffle was huge and I couldn't finish it, but I made a sizable dent in it. Also it was kind of shaped like the millennium falcon (kind of pointed at one end, although from the angle of the picture its harder to see), it didn't contain any wookiees thankfully 😂💚 ° ° ° ° ° #waffles #waffle #dessert #sorbet #chocolate #nuts #creams #sweet #plantbasedfoods #crueltyfree #vegancommunity #vegansofig

Chocolate & nut twists - golden puff pastry with chocolate and chopped nuts, these baked treats are really simple and easy to make, you only need 3 ingredients Click the link in my bio ⬆️ for the recipe. I used pre-rolled puff pastry by @jus_rol chocolate spread by @sofreechocolate and a mix of almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts and peanuts. I just chucked the nuts into my food processor and pulsed them a few times I hope your week is going well 💚 ° ° ° ° ° #chocolate #nuts #pastry #jusrol #dairyfree #chocolatespread #recipe #easyrecipe #plantbased #bethanysvegankitchen

Vegan double Gloucester cheese with onion & chive from ASDA, it's lovely. It's made by @buteislandfoods it melts really well and I love the flavour. I can see it working really well for cheese sauce As always, I find vegan cheese melts better at a slightly lower temperature and takes a bit longer than dairy cheese. If the temperature is too high it might dry out, burn, or go crumbly I hope you have a good week 💚 ° ° ° ° ° #crumpet #cheese #asdafreefrom #freefromcheese #buteislandfoods #doublegloucester #dairyfree #meltedcheese #veganism #lunchtime #bethanysvegankitchen
