Bahn mi is a crisp, light baguette packed full of tasty fillings that provide a mixture of flavour and texture

Bucatini all’ Amatriciana is a classic Roman dish and is simple but oh so delicious! You probably won’t find bucatini in your local supermarket but it is well worth tracking down. It is like a thick spaghetti that is hollow in the middle. Try and get one that has been formed through a bronze die, which gives it a rough surface that absorbs the tomato sauce.

Traditionally this dish would use guanciale (cured pigs cheeks) or pancetta, which I have replaced with tempeh.

Oladky are Ukrainian pancakes which I have veganised. These delicious, light pancakes are wonderful with some Greek style plant based yoghurt, strawberry jam (or another flavour of your choice) and a little drizzle of agave syrup.

This recipe is a vegan version of a recipe from the Hubb Community Kitchen that opened after the Grenfell tragedy. It seems poignant at this moment in time in 2022 to show how food can unite people and communities in the face of trauma and disaster.

If you are looking for a quick and tasty breakfast, this takes minutes to prepare and is ready to go the next morning (or in a couple of hours of you are in a rush).

Can you beat a comforting warm bowl of porridge on a cold winter morning? Using steel cut oats (also known as pinhead or coarse oats) over porridge/rolled oats creates a really creamy porridge along with some extra fibre but will take longer to cook compared to porridge oats but is worth that extra time.

Cacciatore translates to “hunter”, but the only thing you will need to hunt for is tempeh in your local supermarket! This rich tomato based stew tastes even better the next day so feel free to make it the day before.

Here is another super soup recipe! This time it’s cauliflower cheez with Welsh rarebit (like a posh cheese on toast).

This is filling and feels a bit luxurious. Perfect to warm you up on a cold winter day.

Winter is a great time for soups and I have been making more and more during these colder months. The spices in this dish are perfect for winter and go so well with parsnips, probably my favourite winter vegetable which works so well in a soup.

With Burns Night coming up, I thought I would have a go at making a vegan haggis. Haggis is the traditional dish that is eaten to on Burns Night to celebrate the Scottish poet Robert Burns.

Haggis is a spiced minced offal and oats, stuffed and cooked in a sheep’s stomach! It is traditionally served with neeps and tatties (swede and potato) and maybe a wee dram of whisky.

Toastie, the sandwich dreams are made of! This combination of vegan gochujang cheez sauce, gochujang flavoured tempeh and kimchi take the humble toastie to a whole new level. I feel like a vegan David Chang!

I loved lentils and Mexican food before becoming vegan. I never thought of combining the two. That all changed when reading Eddie Garza’s book “Salud”, where he had a recipe for a Mexican lentil soup.

This is my take on his tasty recipe. I’ve added tempeh “chorizo” (which is a staple in my house) to bump up the protein. I’ve also added some red pepper to give extra vitamin c to increase iron absorption. Wether you choose to serve with tempeh, bread, or both, this will leave you satisfied and nourished.

This is one of the best burgers I have ever made and I spent a lot of time perfecting the recipe. This is so easy to make and pull together

Serve in a toasted bun with your favourite condiments. I love to have chipotle mayo on one half of the bun and bbq sauce on the other half, gherkins, home made vegan cheese, jalapeños, tomato and quick pickled habanero red onions

Here you go! The lasagna recipe to rule them all! A big thank you to my friend Fed for sharing the initial recipe with me. It is great to have lasagna back in my life!

At my favourite coffee shop they used to make an amazing chorizo and cheese sandwich. I would occasionally make it at home and it was definitely one of my favourite sandwiches.

In the UK a cream tea is scones (crisp, crumbly, slightly sweet thick biscuit... different to American scones/biscuits), jam and cream. I made a vanilla almond flour pancake that gives similar textures to a scone... but lighter.

Yes you read that right, doughnuts made from sweet potato! Not only are these doughnuts tasty, they are also healthy! All you need is some doughnut moulds and a blender or food processor.

Satay is great way to enjoy tempeh and this simple marinade makes it so easy to make. I have also included a recipe for a simple refreshing cucumber salad that goes really well with it. Serve with stir fried vegetables and wholegrain rice.

Salads need not be boring or leave you hungry. This salad is fresh, tasty, packed with protein and filling! This Palestinian inspired salad is packed full of the flavours of the Mediterranean and Middle East and makes a great lunch, dinner or starter if you want to reduce the portion size.

This might sound strange but if you have a waffle maker you should give this a go.

Can you get bored of pancakes?! I often vary the toppings. Peanut butter and strawberry is a classic. Caramelised banana and blueberries are another amazing option. Feel free to create your own toppings.

I think these pancakes, with warming pumpkin pie spice, are perfect for autumn and winter.

I have included a recipe for the pumpkin pie spice mix too. All you need to do is combine all the spices together. If you don’t want to use protein powder you can substitute it for more oats.

Singapore noodle is a classic UK Chinese takeaway dish that is halfway between a Chinese stir fry and an Indian dish. I have a used smoked tofu, which stands up well to spices and replaces the bbq pork that would often be used.

If you are looking for food to warm you up then this is it!

This soup is filling and protein packed thanks to the lentils and chickpeas. This is also pretty simple to make with not a lot of effort required.

It can be served on its own or with some crusty wholemeal bread.

For those who are unfamiliar with the original Coronation dish, it was first served for lunch at Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation lunch in 1953! Made up of cold chicken, curry powder and mayonnaise.

In the UK you can often find it used as a sandwich filling.

I have veganised this classic British sandwich and created a sandwich that will tantalise your taste buds and will become one of your favourite sandwich fillings.

One of my favourite Chinese takeaway dishes is sweet and sour. I have always had a sweet tooth and the combination with savoury ingredients always hit the spot.

I have veganised and cleaned up the takeaway classic and in my opinion it is as good as anything you can get from a takeaway
