This dish is comfort food masquerading as gourmet dining. It looks really impressive and the combination of tastes suggests complex preparation and exceptional ingredients. But the reality is that it’s incredibly simple. The range of flavours is awesome; umami ricotta-stuffed ravioli combined with zesty-garlicky basil pesto. You would be happy to be served this at …

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 …

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 …

This is a marvellous recipe from our friends at Exceedingly Vegan. Trust us: they are every bit as delicious as they look. Vegan chicken nuggets is another recipe I’ve been meaning to veganise for a long time. I’ve seen a lot of recipes out there with seitan but I wanted mine to be not just …
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 …

We are often asked at the fairs and festivals across the UK how best to marinate tofu. The answer is: there are no hard and fast rules to creating a good marinade but there are some general guidelines which are helpful to follow. It should be a liquid and a marinade is essentially made up of …
This is a creamy, dreamy vegan dessert. Our lemon and lime cheesecake has a punch of citrus and a subtle sweetness to every mouthful. You can create the cheesecake with either one or both of the layers, but we’ve found that combining the lemon and lime layers is a truly luscious experience. It tastes like …
