An easy-to-make but nutritious plant-based version of one of our favourite comfort foods
Lunch & Dinner
Creamy Red Lentil Daal
A friend invited me over for lunch, and while our babies crawled happily around the floor, we indulged in this amazing dish she made us. She got the recipe from Running On Real Food and it was gorgeous. I tweaked it slightly, using the base ingredients from my usual daals (check out my mung daal)…
Turmeric & Saffron Roasted Veg Buckwheat Bowl
This is vegan heaven on a very colourful plate! When you’re meat-free AND gluten-free, it can often be hard to find foods that tick all the boxes. As I’m suffering a postpartum arthritis flare at the moment, it really is so important for me to tick all these boxes: Gluten-free Dairy-free Meat-free Adds nutritional value…
Vegan Sweet Potato Patties
These sweet potato patties are simply to-die-for. They are healthy, nutritious, free from gluten and dairy, are vegan, and are also an excellent choice for baby-led weaning. They are also pretty simple to make. I made a huge batch hoping they’d last a few days but we managed to polish them off between dinner and…
Leftover Mashed Potato & Spinach Muffins – Toddler Recipe
Toddler recipes. A constant battle to find fun, yummy things that they’ll eat, right? And mashed potato is like rice, it’s literally scientifically impossible (ok not scientifically) to make just enough for the amount of people eating, there’s always heaps left over, isn’t there? This recipe is perfect for using up that extra mashed potato…
Curried Chickpeas
Let’s be honest, it can be a bore always trying to come up with new vegetarian meal options, so here I am making it easier for you 🙂 This was super easy to throw together, absolutely deliciously comforting and full of nutrients. I brought it with to a dinner party where all the other guests…
Thursday Night Pasta
It’s tradition in most Jewish households to have a big family dinner on a Friday night. It’s kind of like our version of a Sunday roast! It’s wonderful; we get together with all the family and have amazing food. But of course it means preparation which usually begins on Thursday night – at least that’s…
Best, Easiest Vegan Chilli (and tips on staying nourished through the winter)
It’s raining. It’s grey. It’s January in London. At this time of year it’s so important to look after ourselves, physically and emotionally, because the shorter days and colder climate really do alter our physical wellbeing and emotional state. There is a reason that some animals hibernate during these months – protecting themselves from the…
Vegan Thai Tom Kha Soup
Ever since we went to Thailand five years ago, I’ve been making this soup. I wasn’t yet vegetarian when we were there so I used to make it with chicken, but amended it to be vegan (using tofu) more recently. I don’t know what it is about this soup, but when we were in Thailand I…
Vegan Shepherds Pie
I don’t need to justify my love of vegetarianism or a plant-based diet, my blog is a testament to that. But I do sometimes miss the wholesome family meals that are usually meat-based, and I think that’s OK! Most of my family still eat meat to an extent and I’ll cook it as long as…
