Tofu Burger 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 …
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’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 sell these Vegan Mini Mushroom quiches at vegan food fairs around the UK and they equal our caramelised onion quiches in popularity – just.
