This flavourful, easy to make side would go well along with stir fried vegetables, or mock meats in a Chinese curry sauce, black bean sauce or sweet and sour sauce. It’s also quick and straightforward to make. Plain boiled rice can be a little, well, plain. So this is a really simple way to give… Continue reading Easy Vegan Sesame Rice

Vegan Shortcrust Sausage Rolls
Shortcrust pastry is filled with homemade Cumberland style mock sausage meat, blended with fried onion and wholegrain mustard, then topped with sesame seeds. This classic British snack food is packed with savoury flavour, and they’re delicious hot or cold. The crumbly, rich shortcrust pastry makes a tasty change from the more traditional puff pastry. I… Continue reading Vegan Shortcrust Sausage Rolls
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
Vegan Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese
This creamy spread combines smoked no salmon slices, tofu-based cream cheese and herbs. It’s perfect on toast, crackers or bagels. For Veganuary this year, Aldi brought back their no salmon slices, that I’d previously tried for the first time last January. Last year I ate them with salads and on crackers, but this time I… Continue reading Vegan Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese
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
