Rice noodles are my saviour! I love noodle dishes but egg noodles are out when it comes to eating a plant-based diet and it turns out that I actually prefer rice noodles anyway, which is a winner because not only are they vegan, but they're also gluten free, so super versatille!

Not only is this a delicious recipe in itself but there are two very useful component parts that can be used for other recipes as well.

• Thai Red Curry Paste - so much fresher and tastier than a jar from the supermarket AND you can adjust the taste to your own flavour profile.
• Coconut rice - i love coconut rice, but rarely make it myself for some reason. It's so easy and if you have 1/2 can coconut milk in the fridge needing used up, it's a great way to use it! 

 

Kedgeree has always been a favourite dish of mine, but i've never really thought about veganising it because well, it’s fish & eggs! But trust me this recipe will not disappoint! 

This is my first time cooking nut roast so i've trialled quite a few recipes, borrowed bits from here and there, had a few disasters along the way, but i think i've got to a pretty good place for my Christmas extravaganza so I thought i'd share with you my 2020 nut roast recipe!

Crispy baked teriyaki tofu | If you're on the fence with tofu and think it's a bit flavourless and wet, then you have to try this recipe! I have to admit i used to think that too, but having experimented with lots of tofu recipes I've decided there is so much more to tofu than meets the eye. And this recipe is a great way to get on board with tofu and realise just how delicious it can be!

This Mexican feast is an absolute delight and full of plant-based goodness.
Sweet potato fritters, re-fried beans and guacamole - three components that are sure to become staples of any Mexican dish!

Fish being such a love of mine i thought it'd try a bit of experimenting with fishy alternatives. I've tried jackfruit tuna and i've got to be honest I'm not a huge fan. However seaweed, now this is a winner! 

I’m all about looking for the silver linings of this crazy corona bomb that we’re living through.  I think one of those silver linings is the fact that so many more of us now have the time, or are making the time, to cook from scratch, and even better finding great pleasure and comfort in it.

Saying no to fad diets doesn’t mean saying no to achieving your optimal weight goals, quite the opposite!  But in order to lose weight and keep it off you have to think long term from day one.  There’s no point in doing the cabbage soup diet for 7 days…what happens on day 8, you eat a steak pie & chips because you’re ravenous and end up disheartened because you inevitably put back on some of the weight you lost by starving yourself for a week!?
