These tofu steaks have a really lovely flavour and texture. They’re quite firm, lovely and crisp on the outside, and they’re packed with savoury flavour. Smoked tofu already has a delicious smoky flavour, it’s then marinated to give it even more of an umami kick.

Vegan Chicken Fried Rice
This vegan fried rice is a tasty combination of mock chicken, rice and vegetables. This time I’m using mock chicken I bought recently from an Asian supermarket. It’s the type that is often used in Chinese takeaways, and it’s made from a mixture of seitan and tofu. It does look eerily realistic, with some pieces… Continue reading Vegan Chicken Fried Rice
Easy Vegan Sesame Rice
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

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.

To give the tempeh a beefy flavour, it’s first marinated with shiitake mushrooms, and then fried off in meat-free beef stock. This gives you a deeply savoury, high… Continue reading Vegan Tempeh “Beef” Pasty

Tender, flaky fish-free salmon and parsley sauce, encased in golden brown puff pastry. This would be ideal served as a festive main dish, along with potatoes, vegetables, and more parsley sauce.

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
