We’ve had a lot of rain lately. After a week off heading home to slippers and a hot water bottle, I decided I needed a bowl full of something hot and comforting. This vegan chilli bowl has a base of mushrooms and beans which give enough depth to be super satisfying. It’s topped with lime…

Vegan Kofte Wraps with Courgette & Pickled Radish
These vegan koftes are deep, delicious and moreish. Spiced but not too hot, crispy on the outside and soft in the middle with a deep, charred flavour. They pair perfectly with fresh coriander, smoky hummus and tangy pickled radishes. Soft, grilled courgettes and a few pine nuts complete the meal. As these have a chickpea…
Roasted Fennel & Tomatoes, Hasselback Potatoes & Italian Dressing (v)
Fennel In my organic vegetable box this week I was sent some fennel which I haven’t cooked much with before. I do enjoy fennel seeds in a stew or bean casserole but it was a bit too hot this weekend for that. The other option I thought would be a nice fennel salad,…
Artichoke Spaghetti With Hummus & Dukkah (v)
No Cheese Please I used to see pasta as just a vehicle for cheese. “Would you like some pasta with that cheese?” was a phrase I was very familiar with. But since I’ve started trying to eat less dairy, and be a little healthier, I’ve been trying more and more pasta recipes that taste…
Mushroom & Taleggio Veggie Burger
You can’t beat a good burger. I love allll the veggie burger types. This one was sort of created as a vehicle for my Vegan Black Garlic Aioli but it’s good on its own or with your own favourite sauces and sides. My parents dropped round with a gift of red wine and taleggio the other day –…
Kale, Orange & Beetroot Salad With Spiced Halloumi Fries

These vegetarian mushroom meatballs are a healthy meat-free alternative to the classic Italian meal giving you a whole range of extra healthy vitamins and…
Thai Satay Salad With New Potatoes, Asparagus & Spring Greens (v)
Salad Dodging I used to be a salad dodger. I admit. But I’d only ever be served up limp, soggy lettuce and watery cucumber so who can blame me! I’ve now learnt that the trick to healthy eating is to make it taste so good you actually WANT to eat it. Hardly revolutionary I know but…
Broad Bean Quesadillas
Love Mexican I just love Mexican. It has something for every occasion – rich hearty chillies, quick and easy snacks, fresh and zingy or hot and spicy. I just can’t get enough spicy lately, hence these Broad Bean Quesadillas 🙂 For the last three weeks we’ve been sent broad beans in our organic veg boxes and…
Gnocchi With Wild Garlic Pesto, Tomatoes & Kale
The other day I made a batch of wild garlic pesto so I’ve been finding ways to use it up ever since! This is a really quick and easy dish, perfect for a speedy, healthy lunch or midweek tea. If you don’t have wild garlic pesto normal pesto or sun dried tomato paste would also…
