Vegan Seafood Chowder
This fish-free vegan seafood chowder is hearty and creamy, with a subtle fish flavour. I chose to use plant-based prawns for this, they worked perfectly, but they’re not 100% necessary. You can choose to omit them if they’re not available, this soup will still have a fishy flavour to it coming from the seaweed Serves;… Continue reading Vegan Seafood Chowder
Vegan Ham & Cheese Twists
These moreish pastry twists are a combination of dairy-free cheese, meat-free smoked ham, and crumbly shortcrust pastry. They’re a really tasty snack and are lovely eaten hot or cold. Shortcrust and puff pastry from supermarkets (here in the UK at least) is usually suitable for vegans, as oil is used rather than butter. But it’s… Continue reading Vegan Ham & Cheese Twists
Creamy Garlic Mushrooms on Toast
This is one of my favourite meals to have for breakfast or lunch. It’s definitely a hit for any fellow mushroom fans. It combines mushrooms, garlic, tarragon and nutritional yeast in a creamy sauce. I’ve used a mix of oyster mushrooms for this, but it will work with any mushrooms. I like using white closed… Continue reading Creamy Garlic Mushrooms on Toast
Broccoli & Cauliflower Cheese Soup
This comforting, cosy soup is a delicious combination of broccoli, cauliflower and vegan smoked cheese. The cheesy element comes from smoked tofu, nutritional yeast and a few other seasonings. Meaning this recipe doesn’t call for any vegan cheese or cashews. I realise vegan cheese isn’t for everyone, and cashews can be expensive, so I’ve been… Continue reading Broccoli & Cauliflower Cheese Soup
Roasted Vegetable & Vegan Feta Tart
Golden puff pastry, topped with a roasted red pepper and roasted tomato sauce, slowly roasted vegetables and baked tofu-style feta. This is lovely eaten hot or cold, and it’s easy to customise the vegetables to suit you. I chose to use red onion, aubergine and courgette, this combination worked really well with the sauce and… Continue reading Roasted Vegetable & Vegan Feta Tart

Edamame & Black Bean Salad
This bright, tasty salad is really quick to make and ideal for lunch. It combines edamame, black beans, sweetcorn and vegetables, in a vibrant miso and lime dressing. You can serve this as it is, or serve it as a side salad along with a main dish. As usual, I love a mixture of flavours… Continue reading Edamame & Black Bean Salad
Creamy Leek Tartlets
Golden, flaky puff pastry, topped with creamy leeks, garlic and sage. The leeks are the star of the show for these simple but delicious tartlets. They’re easy and straightforward to make, and would be ideal for a light lunch or dinner. As I often do, I made the creamy aspect of this by using dairy-free… Continue reading Creamy Leek Tartlets
Tofu & Rice Salad Bowl with Creamy Sriracha Dressing
A crunchy, colourful salad consisting of whole grain, red, and wild rice, with salad vegetables and smoked tofu, in a creamy sriracha dressing. The dressing would also be ideal for burgers, wraps, pasta salads or used as a dip. I really enjoy a mix of colours and textures when it comes to salads, I think… Continue reading Tofu & Rice Salad Bowl with Creamy Sriracha Dressing
