I think curries with lentils are my favourite type. There’s something about the texture that I find so appealing. This Dhansak uses a lot of mixed veg to make a vegan friendly meal. Serves: 4 Main Ingredients 265g onions, sliced finely 150g red lentils 4 cloves of garlic, finely chopped 160g kale, chopped 200g peppers,…

Aubergine, chickpea and coconut curry
A mild, plant-based curry that’s quick and easy to make. Whatever you do, don’t throw away the chickpea water. It’s so useful as an egg white alternative in recipes like this no-egg meringue. Serves: 4 Ingredients 400g chopped tomatoes, tinned 240g chickpeas, tinned and drained (save the water, aquafaba, from the tin to use as…
Bean and mushroom cottage pie -vegan
This is the first recipe since my new kitchen was finished. Well, it’s not quite finished. I still need to paint some of the walls but all the functional stuff is in place. I still haven’t got everything back in the cupboards. We’ve got more storage than before but I don’t know how it will…
Quick and easy crispy chicken wraps
We’re in the post Christmas lull, where we’re all tired, we’ve all over eaten (well I have), and it’s a 5 week pay month! So…time for some quick and easy, and cheap, meals that all the family like and have a higher nutritional value than yet another chocolate! If you’re anything like our family, you’re…
Brussels sprouts and kale curry
Like most people at Christmas, I over buy on food for the day and then have to find things to do with the stuff I have left. This year it was Brussels sprouts and kale. Yes, we had turkey left too but we ate that cold in the car whilst driving down to Dorset for…
Christmas Dinner
It was lovely but I can barely move now. Pudding will have to wait. Roast turkey (firecracker vegetable parcel for my vegan daughter). Braised red cabbage with onions, apple and red wine vinegar. Mashed carrot and swede with horseradish mustard. Roast potatoes in their skins with rosemary. Roast parsnips glazed with honey and sherry. Roast…
Stuffed butternut squash
Completely plant-based, this recipe uses nutritional yeast to give a slightly nutty, cheesy flavour without the dairy. I use tinned mixed beans for ease but if you’ve got the time, use whatever you have to hand. Serves: 4 Ingredients 2 butternut squash, halved and with the seeds scooped out 1 bell pepper, roughly chopped 150g…
Orange, honey and mushroom chicken – vegan alt
A variation on a sweet and sour using mixed, dried mushrooms as they give a hearty texture for the non-meat eater. I cook the chicken separately so that my vegan daughter can have the dish without but still have a filling meal because the mushrooms are nice and chewy. Serves: 6 Chicken ingredients 600g skinless…
Falafels in pitta with salsa and yoghurt dressing
This was an easy recipe to make vegan, the only substitute I had to make was the yoghurt. I opted for soya. Everything was made from scratch except the pitta bread which I bought ready made. Whatever you do, don’t throw away the chickpea water. It’s so useful as an egg white alternative in recipes…
Tofu dhansak
Dhansak makes use of lentils to create a thick and somewhat sweet sauce that’s not very hot so everyone can enjoy it. Usually made with mutton or chicken, I’ve switched the meat for extra firm tofu and the ghee for plant-based margarine to make this a vegan dish. This recipe has a lot of ingredients…
