Vegetarian Winter Recipes

This month is a month for favorites. Or is that favourites? However you spell it, chickpea wraps are one of our favourites. And you know why? Because they include wraps. And chickpeas. Chickpea wraps. The name is quite fitting. Something else that’s a favourite of ours are recipes that are …

If there’s one thing we’ve learned in our time of recipe creation then it’s to listen to others. This easy green bean salad is another classic – not designed by us, but rather by Hauke’s grandma. Yep. Not the grandma of creamy cucumber salad fame, but rather the other grandma. …

Sometimes decadence is important. And this leek risotto is decadent. And important. Don’t get us wrong – we eat healthy food all the time, and know the incredible value of it. It’s imperative to our well-being and health. Nutrition is something we take seriously, and indeed, pride ourselves on. Our …

You may have noticed a slight trend recently. Over the last few weeks we’ve spent some time to really pull back on ingredients to see what could be made with whole, easy to find healthy foods. This carrot and apple salad is one such recipe. So, Hauke phoned his mom …

This healthy sweet potato mash recipe was one born out of pure frustration. After looking around online almost every ‘healthy’ mashed sweet potato dish was most definitely not; they’re all covered in cream, slathered in butter or drowned in milk. Or if they avoid dairy then they’re stocked in sugar …

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 …

Yess!! It’s that time of year. I get to write about Christmas and pancakes – two of my favourite things. Don’t worry if you’re reading this and it’s not Christmas, gingerbread pancakes rock at any time of the year. You’ll just have to ignore reindeer references, jolly Christmas puns and …

Pumpkin and carrot soup is everywhere. Just like pumpkins themselves at this time of year, you can’t turn without seeing one. They’re virtually throwing themselves at you. And you know what? They’re mostly ignored too. There are so many pumpkin and carrot soup recipes around, that to stand out, they’ve …

Everybody has an opinion about pancakes, this Dutch apple pancake included. Some want them flat and thin like a crêpe, some want them big and fluffy like a cake. Some sweet, some savoury. There’s almost no pleasing everyone. That’s why we enlisted Jansen, friend and chef extraordinaire. He’s also Dutch, …

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 …
