Healthy Side Dishes

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

It turns out gỏi cuốn has a lot of names. I first tried a similar recipe from a German cookbook, and it took me a while to hunt down the name. But find it I did, and gỏi cuốn is the original name. These delicious little summer rolls have become …

What would you say if we told you the future of burgers is vegetarian? Well, you’d probably say something along the lines of ‘I know that already, fool! Of course the world is slowly waking up and turning veggie’. But what if I told you that quinoa burgers are the …

We’re huge fans of breakfast. We’re also huge fans of Patrick Lange, the current IRONMAN World Champion. Yep, one of the greatest athletes of all time – and also happens to be vegetarian. This recipe is our tribute to him. Who said vegetarians can’t be healthy? For those of you …

We can’t stop you eating sandwiches. Nor do we want to. Sandwiches have been a mainstay of lunch for as long as we can remember. But we can make them more nutritious, and truly deserving of a place in any well-balanced healthy diet. A levelled up sandwich, if you will. …

Sweet potato, avocado and cashews must have been the holy trinity of vegetarian cuisine in recent years.  And rightfully so! You can create many beautiful dishes with these ingredients. They work perfectly together as you’ll see once you’ve tried our new beauty – this Raunchy Sweet Potato Salad! We’ve kept …

This is a recipe that neither myself, Hauke or Kat can take any credit for at all. It’s a favourite recipe of Jansen’s – the chef of our ebooks, Breakfast in Six and Lunch in Six. Both books are based around quick, easy and tasty exclusive recipes using six or …
