Most chow mein recipes will tell you to use egg noodles. I use non-egg noodles so I do a chicken and a mushroom version, the mushroom one being vegan for my daughter. These dishes are great when topped with Kale crisps. Serves: 4 Ingredients 250g chicken breast, skinless and boneless 450g noodles, straight to wok…

Christmas is coming I
Vegan Christmas Cake – the soaking I love a Christmas cake and it’s that time of year so I needed to find a recipe that’s vegan friendly, meaning my daughter can enjoy it too. I found this one from the Domestic Gothess site and it looks promising so I’m giving it a go. I hope…
Chicken with tomato and horseradish mustard – vegan alt in notes
Both the tomatoes and basil are sweet flavours so the horseradish and rocket zing balances them well. You’ll notice I cook the chicken separately from the sauce and I use soya yoghurt rather than dairy. This is so I can add a non-meat protein such as tofu or soya chunks for my vegan daughter, without…

Rice
My family eats a lot of rice, mainly basmati. Well, apart from my son who never liked the texture and mouthfeel of it when he was younger. Now that he’s over 6′ 2″ he’s still the fussiest eater in the family but he has started to try different foods, including rice, but it’s still not…
Autumnal grain and vegetable soup
I like this soup at this time of year. Not only is it warming when the weather turns colder and the nights start at half-past four but it also looks Autumnal in colour. This one takes some forethought because it uses dried grains that need to be soaked overnight before being used. As a result…
