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 …

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 …

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. …

You’d be forgiven if you think we’re obsessed with broccoli and cauliflower. Not only do we now have broccoli and cauliflower soup, we also have a broccoli and cauliflower salad, and a roasted Mediterranean broccoli and cauliflower bake. That’s a lot of broccoli and cauliflower. And you know why? Because …

The Sunday lunch highlight at my Grandma’s place wasn’t the roast for me. Nope, it was the cucumber salad. I know, children might have odd food preferences, but that salad was what I was looking forward to when visiting my grandparents (well, foodwise). Funny enough, when I still had no, …

We recently asked friends if they had any secret awesome recipes they’d like to share with us, and as soon as I was offered this Hungarian-style healthy sweet potato casserole I absolutely jumped at the chance! It was so good, and happily Viola, the creator, allowed us to share it …

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 …

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 …

There comes a day in everyone’s life when they know they’re changing as a person. It could be after a revolutionary life event. It could be a ‘eureka’ moment, where they just get it. In my particular case it was the day I took tomato butter to a party. Yep. …

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 …

Well, this is it people – the big one! It’s our main Christmas meal this year – and we’ve held nothing back. With drum rolls a plenty, we’re very proud to present: the vegetable wellington! With turkeys everywhere, certainly a joint of beef or two and even the odd goose, …

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 …

A classic recipe like a glorious Spanish omelette has to be treated with care. This is why we asked our friend Cristina Parés from Barcelona, Catalunya (still Spain) to help us out. And much to our liking she provided us with a quick and tasty version – without sacrificing traditional …

Every food has its history, and this romesco sauce has one more glorious than most. Hailing from Tarragona in Catalonia, it has been through six hundred years of developments and reiterations, and seen more changes to the political and social climates of Spain than we ever will. It’s been there, …

It must be that time of year. I’m craving curry and I’m craving a health-kick, and I want them now. Roasted cauliflower curry takes care of both. Remember when I said how much I love Indian cuisine? That’s true. Very true. It’s amazing food, and one of favourites. But it’s …
