The year was 2037. The blight had been ravaging the planet for over five years and there was no end of it abating. The situation was growing more dire and more desperate by the day. Humanity was down to its last stores of food. The cupboards had been devastated. Pantries …

Sometimes it’s good to go back to basics. Basics like this simple chickpea salad. There are times when we just need recipes with simple ingredients and easy to follow instructions. Simple recipes that always work. What we don’t want is complex dressings and a load of dirty utensils, bowls and …

When I first heard about bulgur porridge I was a little sceptical. I’m the first to admit I get bored by breakfast. More than bored, frustrated. I know I need to eat it, I know I want to eat it – but I look around the kitchen and all I …

You’ve probably noticed that we love muffins, especially healthy ones, and especially when they’re for breakfast. So may we introduce to you: the Quinoa Breakfast Muffins! This new muffin iteration is not a replacement – it’s an upgrade. In fact, since we first tried them a few weeks ago they’ve …

Ah, fried halloumi. You springy, squidgy, salty, delicious little cheese. The more we eat halloumi cheese, the more we love it. This fried halloumi recipe comes almost a year to the day after we released our last halloumi recipe, the heavenly halloumi salad. And heavenly it is, much like this …

This jackfruit burger is vegetarian pulled pork – and we love it. Everybody has their own reasons for giving up meat, and I’ve heard some pretty stupid counter-arguments in the past. The best of which is ‘if you think meat is so bad then why do you try to make …

This low-carb cheese and spinach pie has quickly become one of my favourite recipes. In fact, this recipe ticks so many boxes that it’s hard to know where to start. ✔️ Low-carb✔️ Keto✔️ High-protein✔️ Weight Loss✔️ 5 minute prep time✔️ Full of vitamins and minerals✔️ Mega tasty Finding low-carb vegetarian recipes can be a bit of a …

We had a lot of fun making this cheese salad. Not only did we get to use our studio kitchen in Berlin, we got to make a salad. With cheese! We know full well the nutritional value of eating good vegetarian salads (who doesn’t?). They can promote weight loss, they …

This week’s recipe, curried parsnip soup, is a bit of a special one. Not just because it’s tasty and nutritious – and it is – but because it was personally recommended to us by Lorraine Shaw, two-time Olympian – and winner of the Commonwealth Games. We always want to learn …

Well, I hope the guys from Apple Inc. won’t sue me for calling this overnight oat recipe after them. Actually, thinking of it, why did Jobs (?) call his company apple anyway? Quite far away from anything related to apples. Apparently Jobs was every now and then on a Frutarian …

I call these ones High Protein Smoked Tofu Breakfast Egg Cups (in short: HPSTBEC). Ok, the name is clumsy, but I felt all the words needed to be in there. Feel free to suggest a better name in the comments 🙂 So these breakfast egg muffins taste like Tarte Flambee. …

We’ve recently changed our much-loved Breakfast Egg Muffins page – and we now have three brand new versions – as well as the original! All four can be found further down this very page. You might have noticed a bit of a pattern emerging recently. We’ve been posting lots of …

Yogurt Parfait When it comes to weight loss recipes, different people need different things. And when it comes to nutritious breakfasts, well, each to their own. We’re going for the yogurt parfait. Or yoghurt parfait, if you prefer. Some people like my brother can eat the same thing day in, …

White Bean Salad Even after five years of recipe creating and testing, we’re still able to be surprised. In fact, it’s incredibly refreshing when recipes like this white bean salad come along and wow us in an instant. This recipe is a classic case of the sum being greater than …

I just finished watching the trailer of the movie Tropic Thunder (saw the film ages ago). And I have to say it’s a hilarious piece, oh dear. Luckily, this recipe isn’t anything like a war comedy movie. The name fits anyway, because you’re “oating” up a tropical flavour storm in …

When we’re testing out recipes, there are three ways that a recipe (like these almond flour muffins) is guaranteed to catch our attention. 1 – taste 2- speed and/or ease 3 – nutritional health benefits In fact, these three criteria are a huge part of Hurry The Food Up. Those, …
