Recipe: Vicki Ravlich-Horan | Images: Ashlee DeCaires I’m a sucker for a good onion ring – battered, definitely not crumbed. The beer in this recipe conveniently means there is half a bottle spare for the cook—although I am not endorsing drinking and frying! You can swap the beer for sparkling water which will give you…
Recipe & Images: Amber Bremner There’s nothing more comforting than a pie on a cold winter’s day, and making them yourself is ever so satisfying. A crisp, flaky pastry case breathes new life into pantry ingredients, something that’s more welcome now than ever. I used New Way flaky puff pastry, which is vegan, available from…
Recipe: Megan Priscott | Images: Brydie Thompson I don’t really know what to name this salad; garden salad is too broad and boring, it’s not Greek or Mexican, so let’s go with Gabriella. You really can go with what is seasonal and available, think Mediterranean when you substitute any ingredients so it stays balanced and…
Recipe & Images: Amber Bremner Tapenade is a traditional French condiment usually made with olives, capers, anchovies and olive oil. This version is vegan, and a little healthier with pumpkin seeds giving a boost of fibre, protein and iron. Serve tapenade in place of pesto, as part of an antipasto platter, on crackers, bread or…
Recipe & Images: Amber Bremner The fruit of the olive tree can divide a room. Understandable, if sliced pizza olives are the only olives someone has tried. They would be missing out on the huge variety of plump, savoury and, dare I say it, meaty, olives that can add so much to a meal. I’m…
Recipe: Vicki Ravlich-Horan | Images: Ashlee DeCaires Madhur Jaffrey, the Queen of Indian cuisine, writes of the importance of dal when she says in her Curry Bible “you can take meats and fish and vegetables from an Indian, but you cannot take away his dal – the core of his meal”. Technically dal (also known…
Recipe and Images: Emma Galloway, My Darling Lemon Thyme You can serve this as a side, but it’s balanced enough to call a meal in its own right too. You’ll find hulled buckwheat at some supermarkets or at health food stores. It’s a great source of plant-based protein and although the name would suggest otherwise,…
Recipe and Images: Emma Galloway I grow chillies every summer, mostly just so I can pickle them. They are the perfect thing to add to tacos, bean chilli, tagines and also pesto and dressings. Basically anywhere where a little sourness and heat is desired. This recipe is from my cookbook A Year in My Real…
Recipe and images: Bosh! Healthy Vegan, Henry Firth & Ian Theasby This Joe Wicks-inspired pie is topped with filo pastry. It’s hearty and filling, but is lower in fat, processed carbs and calories (and cooks quicker!). Make sure your vegan meat is low in salt and saturated fat. SERVES 4 1 onion, peeled and diced…
When researching for this recipe I was surprised to find that a vegetable biryani is not common. I found this surprising because when I backpacked through Rajasthan (nearly 20 years ago!) this was my staple dinner. Much of Rajasthan is vegetarian but the real reason I enjoyed a regular biryani was because this tasty dish…
