In her wonderful book The Flavour Thesaurus (a must for any keen cook), Niki Segnit suggests pairing asparagus with black truffle. Its a delightful combination. The slightly sulphurous tang of cooked asparagus works so well with the musky, earthy truffle taste. I can buy truffle butter for a...

Craig thought this needed more garlic and so did I when I first started eating. However, by the time I got done, my breath could have slain a dragon, so... I gave a range due to that. INGREDIENTS 2-3 green garlic bulbs, outer membranes removed, cloves cut into 2 or 3 pieces or smashed One...

Currently, several studies investigate people's perceptions of cultivated meat in various countries. However, there are no studies yet that emphasize the opinions of vegans and vegetarians, a group that is genuinely seeking protein alternatives beyond meat for their daily meals. In this...

For anyone [or anyone you know] considering a vegan or vegetarian diet, we're just a few days away from "No Meat May". I'm not sure how it differs from "Veganuary", but their website has lots of free meal plans, recipes, useful advice and much more... https://www.nomeatmay.org

I really love this recipe for vegan banh mi. It does take a bit of prep time, but once everything is ready, it comes together quickly. I like to make the pickled veggies and marinate the tofu on the weekend, and then during the week I pull out a couple slabs of tofu at a time and pan-fry them...

Looking for a good recipe for filling steamed buns with tofu

For all the UK based vegetarians and vegans out there, I continue to impressed by the Aldi "Plant Menu" range. We're yet to try something that's less than OK, with most being really tasty. I can definitely recommend the Crispy Battered No Beef Strips and Battered No Chicken Balls plus the...

Gado gado is an Indonesian dish. It’s very flexible and can be easily adapted and made with whatever vegetables you have on hand. You can omit the eggs if you don’t eat them. This recipe is adapted from Minimalist Baker. Ingredients: 1 cup uncooked rice 1/2 tsp turmeric 1 red bell pepper...

My preference is to use previously frozen extra firm tofu, that's been defrosted and well drained. I find that the structure of tofu changes after freezing and you can get a lot more liquid out of the tofu. I also find it easier to throw the cubed tofu into my airfryer to crisp up. If you don't...

This recipe is almost embarrassingly easy - it’s hardly even a real recipe, but it’s become one of my go-to for a quick, simple, vegan lunch that uses ingredients I almost always have on hand. Ingredients: 1 cup dry pasta (I usually use fusilli or whatever I’ve got on hand) 2 tbsp nutritional...

Apparently, so I'm informed, this is a great snack for when you're craving something savoury without the mystery meat content of SPAM. Honestly, I've no idea if it is or not, I've never had spam or anything even vaguely similar. The tofu was salty, the rice was slightly sweet and i think my...

I’m always looking for fun vegan recipes to try, and I really like this one! Artichokes are used in place of crab. If you have a shellfish allergy, this is also a good way to get something similar to a crab cake. I will often make a batch of the patty mixture, toss it in the fridge, and then...

I came across this recipe, looking for something different to do with a winter squash. I found it. First taste test and hubby grinned. So I left my modifications at just adding shiro miso. I'd have added more but hubby liked it as it is, so that was it. Thick version Thin version The...
