I’m sharing two spooky recipes for Halloween this year. First up is a garlicky black houmous made with black chickpeas and a black tahini. This houmous has more of a nutty flavour to it, coming from both the black chickpeas and black tahini. It’s perfect with crackers, eaten as a dip, served with salads or… Continue reading Black Chickpea Houmous & Black Tahini Cookies

Vegan Nacho Cheese Dip
A deliciously cheesy, spicy, nacho cheese dip that you can eat with tortilla chips or pour on top of nachos. Before I went vegan I used to quite like the nacho cheese dip by Doritos, but as it contains milk and egg it’s not suitable for vegans. So I wanted to make my own vegan… Continue reading Vegan Nacho Cheese Dip
Rocket & Pistachio Pesto
Rocket & pistachio pesto, with garlic, basil and dairy free truffle parmesan cheese. This is a vibrant, fresh pesto, with a deep nuttiness from the pistachios. I love making pesto with rocket, as it gives the pesto a delicious peppery flavour. This pesto would work well with hot or cold pasta, as well as spreading… Continue reading Rocket & Pistachio Pesto
Roasted Garlic & Caramelised Onion Dip
A deliciously creamy blend of silken tofu, nutritional yeast, slowly roasted garlic, caramelised onion & herbs. This dip is dairy free, low fat and a source of plant based protein. Serve it with crackers, crisps, breadsticks or vegetables. I love the simplicity of this dip. You don’t need any dairy free sour cream/yogurt/cream cheese, as… Continue reading Roasted Garlic & Caramelised Onion Dip
Roasted Tomato & Vegan Feta Pasta Sauce
This sauce combines roasted tomatoes, roasted garlic and dairy free feta, with oregano and basil. The tomatoes only take 20 minutes to roast in the air fryer, so this is pretty quick and easy to make. I’ve also included how to make this with an oven too Yield; 550g of sauce Cook time; 20 minutes… Continue reading Roasted Tomato & Vegan Feta Pasta Sauce
Tofu Mince Bolognese
This hearty bolognese sauce uses tofu as the “mince”. Tofu really is so versatile, as long as you give it lots of flavour, it can be used for all sorts of things. This tofu was pressed, crumbled and cooked making it a great swap for mince in this tasty pasta dish. The texture of this… Continue reading Tofu Mince Bolognese
Sprouted Chickpea Houmous
I think this is the tastiest houmous I’ve ever made. It’s creamy and nutty, it works well as a dip, or spread onto sandwiches or crackers, or you can thin it down and use it as a salad dressing. It takes a little bit of planning, as the chickpeas take three days to sprout. But… Continue reading Sprouted Chickpea Houmous
Takeaway Style Vegan Paneer Tikka Masala
A creamy tikka masala sauce, with firm tofu “paneer”, great for a fakeaway with rice and naan bread to scoop up the sauce. Using tofu in place of paneer adds extra protein, iron and calcium to this curry. As for the cream, I used tofu cream, which I made by blending 60ml plant cream with… Continue reading Takeaway Style Vegan Paneer Tikka Masala
Creamy Vegan Chicken Mash Pie
Meat free chicken pieces and vegetables, in a creamy parsley & sage sauce, topped with mashed potato. This hearty pie is tasty and easy to make, it bakes in the air fryer for 15 minutes or the oven for 25 minutes. I chose to use Dopsu No Chicken Pieces for this recipe, they’re available from… Continue reading Creamy Vegan Chicken Mash Pie
Creamy Sundried Tomato Pasta
This creamy, rich pasta sauce is really easy to make and it’s another way that I like to use tofu cream. Tofu cream is an easy to make cream substitute, that you can make using plant milk and silken tofu. There are several cream substitutes available now, but I still prefer tofu cream personally Yield;… Continue reading Creamy Sundried Tomato Pasta
