Make Your Tofu Amazing
This is a show-stopping, easy-peasy dessert that’s infinitely healthier and has far less calories than your ‘normal’ chocolate mousse. Besos de Oro – or ‘Golden Kisses’ is a bit of a vegan luxury. For all those of you that miss that Christmassy treat of Baileys liqueur over ice we now have a vegan alternative which is …
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 …
We developed the Smokey Sweet Tofu Marinade recipe to take to Vegan Fairs and Festivals to give out as samples. We wanted to best show how tofu can absorb the flavours of a marinade when it is well pressed. This marinade served better than any to dispel the myth that tofu is bland and tasteless. …
These pasties are a firm favourite. They are great for a rustic dinner and even better served cold the next day if they last that long. They are astonishingly quick and easy as well, especially if you buy the puff pastry, which is normally vegan by the way. Ingredients 1 x 400g block tofu, well-pressed …
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 isn’t the first tofu cheesecake recipe on this site, and almost certainly won’t be the last. Making a cheesecake – in inverted commas – using silken tofu is such a genius trick. 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 …
This vegan chocolate cheesecake is like a mini miracle. Your lightly-pressed tofu transforms into a silky, chocolatey mousse and no one would even suspect it’s even there. With superfood ingredients packed in the base, you get a healthy hit whilst indulging into a scrumptious pudding. Can’t be bad? Base Ingredients 1 cup pitted dates ½ …
We are ardent fans of Scrambled Tofu, especially as part of the quintessential Sunday morning brunch. You’ll find many different variations in cookbooks, cafés and on the internet and you can play around with this recipe, adding whatever grabs your culinary fancy. Apart from grated beetroot as the result would be slightly terrifying. Mushrooms, red …
It’s cold and it’s raining outside, by the time you come home from work it’s been dark for two hours already. Yup, it’s winter. And that means that you need warming, comfort food and this vegan take on the classic British dish really hits the mark. It’s simple, quick to make and, most importantly, tastes …
I used to love tiramisu in my pre-vegan days and I don’t know why it’s taken me 10 years to realise it can be veganised really easily. Switching the extremely calorific ingredients of double cream, condensed milk, marscapone cheese and in some cases raw egg yolk for a low-fat, delectable, healthy and cruelty-free combination of …
This Sichuan sizzler is popular in Asia, originating from the good people of Sichuan in China where Mapo Tofu is a staple dish. It is normally made with beef or pork but that would be awful so we used mushrooms instead. It also traditionally uses silken tofu but we used pressed, firm tofu to give …
This is a guest recipe by the awesome veggie, Indian cook, Priya Lakshminarayan of Cookilicious. Priya created a vegan version of this Indian dish for us with a rich and creamy Makhani sauce and well-pressed tofu. She also gets photo credits for the beautiful food shot. Makhani Sauce traditionally uses milk, butter and cream and …
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 …
Tofu works like a dream in curries – the fragrant, spicy sauces go perfectly with the soft creaminess of tofu, pressed and cubed and determined to absorb all the colourful flavours. If possible, make this curry a few hours before serving it, or make enough for leftovers the next day as everything continues to infuse …
