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!

Around 50% of UK households will cater for vegans this Christmas, and around 20% will cook a fully vegan meal.

Will you be part of the 50%?

We’re super excited to announce that we’re going to be launching an online meal planning tool in January.

It’s called Meal Planning Made Easy and will give you everything you need to enjoy a healthy balanced plant-based diet.

If you love cooking but you’re sick of the same old recipes, or you’re keen to eat a more plant-based diet but don’t really know where to start…then this is for you!

Tempeh isn't some kind of weird processed meat substitute, its a really natural unprocessed food. It's essentially just fermented soy beans! Because they're fermented, that adds an extra layer of goodness because the pre-biotics feed your friendly gut bacteria!

It's also tastes amazing! So here's a wee recipe to get your started on your journey towards tempeh loving!

Cheesecake is not an easy one to veganise, especially the filling...it's easy to become too heavy if you use too much nuts, or if you don't use enough it just won't set 🤔 After a few failed attempts, this one i think is really starting to hit the mark! Better yet it's super simple, no bake...all you really need is a blender and a cake tin! Creamy, zesty and sweet this no bake Lemon Cheesecake is dreamy!

A decent vegan burger can be hard to find. Personally i'm all about getting the perfect consistency / texture and flavour rather than trying to create a likeness to meat...i'll leave that to the the meat alternative experts. 

This beetroot burger oozes with flavour whilst boasting a moist yet firm consistency, perfect for enjoying in a bun accompanied with some rocket and cucumber...👌 The perfect pick me up to a long day.  This is the epitome of comfort food that's actually good for you! 

Home made banoffee granola recipe, nutritional information on oats, and loads more plant-based oaty breakfast inspiration.

I don't know about you, but now that the clocks have gone back and the evenings are much darker, desserts and cosy mugs of hot chocolate are calling my name!

This pecan pie recipe is just the ticket...sweet, caramelly & sticky, it is to die for!

Before you scoff too much of the pecan pie, watch our Nutritional Nuggets video to find out why we still need to be careful of too much unrefined sugars in our diet, like coconut sugar and maple syrup, as well as the refined white sugars which often take all the flak!

It's likely that half of the 24million pumpkins carved for Halloween this year won't be eaten!!

And only 42% even realise that the flesh of pumpkins can be eaten!

Now that is scary!  🎃 👻

So this is my doing my tiny little bit to help raise awareness of not only the fact that you CAN eat the pumpkin flesh (and seeds), but that it's also pretty darn good for you, and delicious too!

Check out this weeks pumpkin risotto recipe!

As the nights start closing in and let's face it, staying in and getting cosy is pretty much our only option right now, desserts are calling my name!

Bread and butter pudding is such an unsung hero in my opinion and actually super easy to veganise.

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!
