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 …

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 …

There is always a reason for making vegan stuffed peppers. A few months ago we shared our stuffed bell peppers (edit: over a year ago already! Where does the time go?!) and in our own humble opinion, they rocked. And they rocked hard. The peppers were tasty, the sauce saucy …

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 …

It’s about time we had another risotto recipe on the site, and certainly another mushroom recipe. As Hauke and Dave both hate mushrooms (weirdos), it’s up to me to make sure this vegan mushroom risotto recipe sees the light of day. I also disagree with how Hauke and Dave cook …

We love trying new recipes. Especially when they go as well as this vegan burrito. A part of it even came about by accident, but more on that later. If you’re on this page, there’s a good chance you know exactly how great vegan food can be. Some still have …

The Ultimate Microwave Baked Potato Guide Every now and then we get really immersed in a recipe. And so I have been eating at least one microwave baked potato almost every day for MONTHS. In all shapes and sizes, flavours and toppings. Almost non-stop actually. Microwave potatoes are now my …

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 …

I knew about pasta arrabiata long before I had ever tried pasta arrabiata. That was thanks to the excellent Eddie Izzard, and his now infamous Death Star Canteen sketch. Well worth checking out. So what is pasta arrabiata, anyway? Arrabiata itself is a sauce based on tomatoes, garlic and chilli …

These no egg pancakes appeared in a very roundabout away. We love pancakes, and always have (in fact, these bad boys helped launch the site). Recently, we’ve been asked more and more for ‘no egg’ pancakes. Not necessarily vegan like these, but just ‘no egg’ pancakes. Why ‘no egg’ pancakes? …

What did the cheese say to herself in the mirror? Halloooooo me! Ok then, if you’ll forgive me, onto the halloumi salad. No more cheese jokes. Not even the one about the explosion at the cheese factory. Which was awful. De-brie was everywhere and the Swiss riddled with holes. Sorry! …

If you’ve followed us for even a short amount of time, it might have become obvious that I love sandwiches. And now I love sandwiches EVEN MORE as I’ve realised I can put tempeh in them. Mmmmm, tempeh sandwiches! Tempeh is a relatively new discovery for us, but it’s quickly …

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 …

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. …

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 …

Vegan food rocks. We know that, and have done for a long time. But to some, and even with awesome recipes like this roasted & creamy corn soup, vegan food still has a stigma to get over. It shouldn’t be that way, but it is. No matter, we’re here to …
