Make Your Tofu Amazing

We created this pie on a wet November lockdown afternoon during the 2020 COVID pandemic when we desperately needed some family comfort food. It really hit the spot. The consistency of the tofu is pleasingly chewy and combines with the softened, seasonal vegetables in a mellow, creamy sauce. We served it with baked potato wedges …
It has been a long term mission of ours to make the perfect tofu burger. It had to taste great, look the part and hold together whether you shallow fry, grill or barbecue. There have been disasters along the way. More than one burger has ended up looking more like tofu scramble than burger, delicious …
This is the recipe for our best seller on the stall we take to vegan events – the illustrious sausage roll. People often buy one, start munching on it as they’re walking away and then turn back around for another one for later. We are delighted to share the recipe here so you can make …

It is easier than you think to make your own tofu and despite being a bit messy the more you do it the better you get at it. The result is well worth the effort as it has much more delicate texture and is more flavoursome than shop bought tofu. We have it raw with …
It’s the time of the year when you can really indulge yourself and never more so than for the annual Christmas Dinner. You’re going to want a pretty special centrepiece for that all-important meal, not a brick of glorified stuffing. This is our take on a nut roast and has all of those Christmassy tastes; chestnuts, …
We’ve recreated the timeless classic dish of Chicken Kiev here with tofu doing a more than passable impression of a chicken breast. As we know, when tofu is well pressed it absorbs the flavours during cooking and this is the key to this dish. The creamy garlic butter is absorbed all the way through the tofu …

This simple and tasty vegan cannelloni is more substantial than the traditional, cheese-filled version and much lower in fat. The dish combines the richness of a herby tomato sauce with the creamy-soft, umami tofu ricotta. We used shop bought cannelloni tubes, which are generally vegan but check the label, so although it’s a bit fiddly …
We sell these Vegan Mini Mushroom quiches at vegan food fairs around the UK and they equal our caramelised onion quiches in popularity – just. In fact, we developed the recipe using the onion quiche base i.e. the ‘egg’ mixture (tofu, cashew nuts, nutritional yeast etc..) and then instead of caramelising the onions, we fried …

Rather than using cream or full-fat soft cheese, this scrumptious pudding is a blend of fresh berries and protein-rich silken tofu. Delicious …

This is a really simple way of preparing tofu when you need it to be firm and stay on kebab sticks. The tofu is all about the texture so you need a tangy, delicious sauce to accompany it. This time we’ve made a nutty, satay sauce which you can either drizzle over the cooked tofu …
