Hurry The Food Up Vegan and Vegetarian Recipes For Busy People

I love discovering new recipes! Especially if they’re linked to getting me fitter and stronger. And that’s exactly what these baked ricotta muffin power bombs do. They’re my new favourite and are now my post gym go-to snack. After a good workout it’s imperative to replenish our body’s natural stores, …

Pizza rocks! 😀 At least I certainly think so. It has a lot going for it. But for some, pizza potatoes are the answer. To most, ‘gluten-free’ is just a myth – a phrase made up by marketing supremos who target vulnerable eaters into paying more for a swishy new slogan …

Every food has its history, and this romesco sauce has one more glorious than most. Hailing from Tarragona in Catalonia, it has been through six hundred years of developments and reiterations, and seen more changes to the political and social climates of Spain than we ever will. It’s been there, …

HOORAY! I get to write about curry again. As I go to great pains to point out, I love curry. All forms of curry, and definitely cauliflower curry. Although I grew up mostly eating Indian curry, since then I quickly learnt to love Pakistani, Tibetan and all types of Asian …

There are times when running a website like this is awesome. We ask our great friend circle of chefs for recipes, and we get sent gold. This pineapple fried rice is just that. Pineapple fried rice is great fun to make, and there’s something cool about seeing the mix of …

Just recently, my friend Lisa boasted about how awesome her recipes were. Nothing wrong with that; it’s fun to show off good recipes if you’ve got them. Always game for a challenge, I asked her to send me over her best of the best. Equally game for a challenge – …

Yesss…it’s finally here! The banana mug cake! If people asked me to name two things I love in life then bananas and cakes would definitely make it onto that list. Mugs might not, although for the sake of this recipe I’ll also add mugs somewhere near the bottom, as I …

Ahh Baba Ganoush. Even the name is cool. While eggplant dip or aubergine dip is what this is, it’s so much more at the same time. Baba Ganoush is smoky, soft and delicious. Hailing from the Arab and Levantine (Eastern Mediterranean) world, it’s also known as Baba Ghanoush and Baba …

To take a life in a premeditated manner is murder. To kill an animal for its meat is murder. My road to that conclusion, and therefore not eating meat, was a long one. In my younger days I ate a lot of it. I mean a real lot. Steaks, burgers, …

There are several reasons this sweet potato burritos recipe came about, each of them important in its own way. One, it tastes so damn good it would be against our professional ethics not to share it with the world. And we’re professional if nothing else. Two, the sun came out …

Do you like surprises? Not all surprises are good, but when they’re like this broccoli and cauliflower salad, then damn right I like surprises. Imagine my astonishment when Jansen, our newest kitchen crew member, brought this beast to the table. Not normally a fan of little green trees and big …

Barbecue season. The only time my cravings for meat really ever come back. And the reason this vegan potato salad was born. I think the main reason for my craving is the terrible quality of the veggie and vegan sausages or burgers available. In my (humble) opinion they all taste …

When viewed as a whole, our world is one giant, complex fusion of contrasting cuisines and dishes, each one appealing to different tastes and palettes. Some are spicy, some are sweet, some are slow, some are quick. Some dishes are heavy and rich, others are light and fresh. There’s always …

Before we get into to the hows of Dukkah, let’s take a look at the whats. Every now and then a complete game-changer comes along, and Dukkah is one of them. An incredible fusion of nuts, herbs, seeds and spices, it’s an easy to make mix that can completely revitalise …

It must be that time of year. I’m craving curry and I’m craving a health-kick, and I want them now. Roasted cauliflower curry takes care of both. Remember when I said how much I love Indian cuisine? That’s true. Very true. It’s amazing food, and one of favourites. But it’s …

Have you ever noticed anything missing from our blog? Something that has never ever been featured, never even mentioned in a passing whisper? If you’re not looking for it, you’ll never find it. We’ve ignored them so well, found their substitutes so good that they never really needed to appear …
