This simple vegan pasta dish makes courgette (zucchini) the star of the show, and is perfect for either a hot dinner or a cold lunch dish. It takes hardly any time to cook once you’ve grated all the courgettes! This’ll serve 4 hungry people or 6 less hungry people. The courgette is quickly melted down in olive oil and tossed […]

Huevos Rancheros
Huevos Rancheros is perfect for any meal, but makes for a particularly amazing brunch or a quick and tasty dinner. Start by preparing a batch of our Best Black Bean Chilli, as you’ll need the leftovers (if there are any!) for this. The black bean chilli freezes pretty well, so you could always make a big pot and portion it […]
Best Black Bean Chilli
I love all kinds of chilli, and this black bean chilli is right up with the best. A good beef chilli takes at least a couple of hours. This chilli takes only 30 minutes, so you can enjoy it any day of the week. It’s great for meat eaters and vegetarians alike, and is easily adaptable for vegans. The richness […]

Slow roasting will deliver lamb that you can serve with a spoon. The lamb is raised up during cooking on basically a trivet made from onions, which […]
Buffalo Cauliflower Wings

When baked it becomes tender but remains firm, and pretty well replicates the texture of chicken. These Buffalo cauliflower wings are delicious! The crispy coating of sesame seeds and panko breadcrumbs holds a sticky, glossy sauce, while the […]
Furious and Fast Mango Chutney
A feisty variation of an absolutely classic chutney, the extra dimension of Caribbean red pepper (scotch bonnets) adds heat to this sauce but also really showcases the distinctive, delicious flavour of this incredible chilli. “Furious” is a relative term here. Yes, it is pretty hot but even if you’re not a fan of more intense chilli heat, still give this […]
