By Season

Up until a few years ago, I barely ate salad and even today it has to be something special to grab me. This watermelon and feta salad is something special. It goes without saying that watermelon and feta salad is perfect for the summer when watermelons are at their sweetest …

We recently asked friends if they had any secret awesome recipes they’d like to share with us, and as soon as I was offered this Hungarian-style healthy sweet potato casserole I absolutely jumped at the chance! It was so good, and happily Viola, the creator, allowed us to share it …

Summer is here – and we need this recipe. Salads can be great, but we’re often left begging for more. That’s where coconut curry lentil soup steps up. It keeps that summer spirit high with its fusion of tropical coconut and smooth curry, complementing it with a juicy multivitamin twist. …

Yesss! The sun is shining and that can only mean one thing – it’s officially the start of barbecue season! And that means it’s time for black bean burgers. Good black bean burgers. I will admit, one of the toughest things since I became veggie was getting a decent burger …

The first time I ate stuffed bell peppers was nearly twelve years ago, on Christmas Day, 2006. And it was the only thing I ate that day. To cut a long story short, we had been invited to a Christmas Day BBQ next to Bondi Beach, Sydney, Australia, and it …

People ask me if I miss meat. I don’t mind the question, of course, and the answer is a resounding ‘no’ – not when I have recipes like this vegan chow mein, anyway. The most important thing with vegan chow mein is the sauce – the vegetables (or meat) is …

It’s going to be a good week. I knew it as soon as this recipe hit the top of my list. Noodle Omelette. Two of my favourite things right there – noodles and omelettes. Together. Awesome. The ultimate student food (or anyone on a budget, for that matter), it’s filling, …

Without a doubt, there’s something joyful about simple foods. And that’s where these sweetcorn fritters really shine. They’re tasty and uncomplicated, and can virtually always be made with foods leftover in the cupboard. Eaten with a side or as a stand-alone meal, these corn fritters are an easy recipe that’s …

I’ve been really looking forward to posting these vegan breakfast potatoes for a long time now. Once in a while recipes come along that I just can’t stop eating, and these breakfast potatoes are one such recipe. All of us on the blog absolutely loved the farmer’s breakfast, and I …

Pear soup with blue cheese is undoubtedly a niche recipe. If you don’t like blue cheese, then you probably won’t enjoy this recipe. If you do like blue cheese then there’s a good chance this pear soup will blow you away. Pear and blue cheese has long been known as …

I’m gonna throw this out there – roasted broccoli and cauliflower doesn’t get any better than this. If you’re looking for a roasted broccoli and cauliflower dish, then there’s a good chance you’re after the spectacular health benefits of both broccoli and cauliflower. But what if I told you they …

There are many, many reasons to love carrot and ginger soup. Firstly, it’s made from ginger. And ginger is often subject to lots of unfair treatment. If you’ve never heard Tim Minchin’s song ‘Prejudice’, you really should. Secondly, this particular carrot and ginger soup literally takes ten minutes – if …

For some weird reason, British food doesn’t always have the best reputation around the world. To anybody that’s eaten a great vegetarian toad in the hole (or even a regular toad in the hole), that’s an absolutely travesty. I will agree that it does have an unusual name, though happily …

Sexy veggie lentil stew. Let’s face it, there’s nothing sexy about stew. But, let me explain. Looking after your body = hot. Hot is sexy. Lentil stew looks after your body, and your body will look after you. If you’re reading this at the start of the new year, and …

Well, this is it people – the big one! It’s our main Christmas meal this year – and we’ve held nothing back. With drum rolls a plenty, we’re very proud to present: the vegetable wellington! With turkeys everywhere, certainly a joint of beef or two and even the odd goose, …

I absolutely love mashed veg when it’s done right. And that’s the key thing here – when it’s done right. If you don’t like mashed veg, whether it’s garlic mashed cauliflower or something completely different, there’s a very good chance you haven’t had the good stuff before. Amazingly, mashed cauliflower …
