Legumes Recipes

Some recipes just sing out to us. This ricotta bake is one of those recipes. It has absolutely everything that makes a perfect Hurry The Food Up recipe. Before I head into just how nutritious it is, I want to talk about my favourite thing – the speed. The PURE …

I honestly never thought I’d see the day when I’d be writing about sprouts – and absolutely loving them. Brussels sprouts and many people have a love/hate relationship – though maybe that lessens a bit with age. If you’re here looking for a brussel sprouts with balsamic vinegar or cream …

This falafel salad recipe really made us think. Is it ok to use falafel mix? Or even pre-packaged falafel? For the most part we really do like to promote whole foods over processed – they generally have more flavour, they’re cheaper and pack more of nutritional punch. But sometimes, we …

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 …

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 …

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 …

You’d think I’d be bored of talking about curry by now. But I’m really, absolutely, definitely not. In my humble opinion, curry is one of the greatest dishes this world has ever seen – with varieties so wildly different you could eat a new one every day and never sample …

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 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 …

Pea and mint soup has been around for a very long time. It’s one of the first dishes I remember (I’m not that old, I’m just making a point, bear with me) and been has been cited throughout history on countless occasions. Well-known around most of Europe, pea soup comes …

This is the most fun I’ve had making breakfast for ages. I’d been wanting to try chickpea flour pancakes (sometimes known as besan or garbanzo flour too, or even besan chilla and cheela) and there are nearly as many different ways to make them as there are names! Actually, I’d …

What do hummus and guacamole both have in common? Answer: ‘they’re both awesome!’. Also acceptable answers would be: ‘they’re both beasts of the nutritional world’, ‘they’re both really quick to make’ and ‘they both taste great, especially when dipped into’. When we released this homemade hummus back in November (thanks …

If you’ve been keeping any sort of an eye on this blog (or are signed up to our newsletter), then you’ll know we’re engrossed in finding healthy snacks right now. And hummus is at the top of our list. We’re slightly obsessed with it. Well, really obsessed. Particularly with carrots. …

You can take Dave out of Britain, but you can’t take the Britain out of Dave. Various people have said that to me over the years I’ve lived in Germany, and after a good giggle and an accepting nod of the head I forget about it again and move on. …

Most of the time being a vegetarian is exceptionally easy, but I don’t mind admitting that occasionally I really do crave a meat-based meal. In my younger, less aware days I ate a lot of meat, and didn’t even think about where it came from, or let alone care. Or …
