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 …

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 …

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 …

Roasting veggies is awesome. In my opinion it’s an essential for everybody who likes to eat good food with little effort. And which of us isn’t a lazy bastard at times? Once you know the basics you can prep an excellent meal on a baking tray within minutes. Let it …

Sometimes a recipe comes along that’s so perfect it doesn’t need any alterations. It doesn’t need a long-winded and probably unnecessary introduction from the blogger as to why it’s so amazing. These Dragon Noodles are amazing, however as we made several changes to the recipe it would be rude not …

There are some recipes that we get really excited about. If you’ve been following us for a while now you might just remember this immense Peanut Butter Salad. It was one of our very first recipes, and we were very proud. To date, it’s also the only video that Howie, …

A few weeks ago we posted this Creamy Tomato and Basil Soup and I pointed out my reasons as to why soup is awesome in the summer. I’m happy to say this Easy Curried Butternut Squash and Coconut Soup is just as awesome any time of year. Pumpkins and squashes …

Every now and then a recipe grabs me, and I mean reeeaaallly grabs me. Like, by the balls and won’t let go. The last was this Tangy Veggie Wrap, and these Zoodles with Exquisite Hazelnut-Carrot Sauce are the next. I ate them yesterday, and I’ll eat them again tomorrow! ‘But …

Anyone with an addictive personality out there? Thought so. Me too! But it’s not all bad…not when it’s something like these veggie wraps. I literally can’t stop eating them right now. I already know they’re gonna be a major part of my summer. Kat will soon rue the day she …

Ever seen a kohlrabi before? I hadn’t, and I was really missing out. They seem to be a bit of a neglected vegetable, although they’re popular enough in Germany and many parts of Europe. Becoming more and more well-known in the US and UK (they even went through the inevitable …

Honey Glazed Carrots – integral to pretty much any Christmas lunch. Easy to do wrong, even easier to do right. There are so many different versions out there – but we think we’ve created the best. Tarragon goes really well when combined with sweet things – and carrots are a …

Ah, slaw. Much like it’s older brother, the nut roast, it’s not cool. It just isn’t. Perhaps it never will be. But that’s ok. Not everything can be cool, right? And anyway, it’s got a lot going for it. Just look at it – imagine how hot your Christmas dinner …
