Red lentils give a lovely texture as a base to a stew or curry. They are inexpensive and require no soaking so don’t take long to cook. I served this with fragranced rice but it works just as well with flat breads. I’ll post a recipe for 2-ingredient flat breads soon. I’ve just realised I…

Deliciously Decadent Chicken and Mushroom Pie
This is one of my family’s favourite recipes. The preparation time on this one isn’t quick, so I always choose to prepare on the weekend, rather than a week night. And I now like to make the filling in double quantity and freeze the extra portion for a quick meal on a week day. This recipe lends itself really well…
Chicken chow mein – vegan alt in notes
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…

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…
