Shepherd’s Pie
If, like me, you’re tired of vegan Shepherd’s Pie recipes that disappoint you with sweet potato mash and lentil fillings, then I promise this recipe will deliver on a more classic, authentic flavour. A meaty, rich filling topped with the fluffiest, most buttery mash, dotted with spring onions. Once you try it with champ, you won’t go back to ordinary mash.
Jaffa Cakes
One of the things that I missed most when I cut out animal products, was Jaffa Cakes. The spongey, cakey base, orange jelly centre and chocolate shell topping all create the perfect combination of textures, so I created my own, very moreish, version.
Eton Mess
By now, you’ve possibly heard of aquafaba – the liquid we normally throw away from a can of chickpeas or other legume. It turns out it makes the most amazing egg white replacer and you can even use it to make meringues! Perfect for one of my favourite British summertime desserts. Simply crush the meringues into a bowl with some whipped coconut cream, chopped strawberries and strawberry purée.
Beer-Battered Tofish and Chips
Not only does this beer-battered tofu look like the real deal but it also has a slightly fishy taste, thanks to the nori sheet. Served with probably the best chips you’ll ever make – which take a bit of effort but are totally worth it – and super simple minty mushed peas.
