I feel that the chicken kyiv is quite the staple of the British cuisine, and so when I went vegetarian it was quite hard to find anything as a replacement, let alone finding a vegan alternative. The few I have tried have always ended up being very bland and super dry, so I admit when … Continue reading Plant Pioneer no chicken kievs

Easy vegan mac and cheese
There is no greater comfort food than mac and cheese, and I find that so many of the pre-made options just aren't on the same level. Either the sauce isn't even cheesy, or it has this odd grainy texture to it which does take away from the 'comfort' side of the meal. I have been … Continue reading Easy vegan mac and cheese
Pret bake at home vegan croissant
There is something very special about pastries for breakfast. I can't explain why, but having a pastry for breakfast just feels so much nicer than cereal, or oats, or even a full english fry up. The downside is that making really good pastry from scratch is very hard, and I have never lived anywhere where … Continue reading Pret bake at home vegan croissant
The Tofoo Company Southern fried tofu
It seems the start of Spring has signalled many brands to expand their range of products, and Tofoo is one such brand. I tend to only buy their tofu blocks, as they are pretty affordable and their firm tofu is good for scramble recipes. But this is the first time I've seen ready meals available … Continue reading The Tofoo Company Southern fried tofu
Vegan carbonara with white sauce

Silken … Continue reading Vegan carbonara with white sauce

I do try to make sure that my lunch is still relatively healthy, so am always on the lookout … Continue reading The Gym Kitchen original curry noodles
Squeaky Bean hoisin duck bites
As my job stands, I am now expected in the office more often than before, which is inconvenient in two ways: one, because it means I have to wear actual clothing and not just gym leggings and baggy jumpers every day, and two, it means I have to find more exciting lunches because otherwise the … Continue reading Squeaky Bean hoisin duck bites

Quick and easy pizza recipe
The best thing about winter is the comfort food. Here in England, while it is technically considered spring now, it is still freezing cold and we are currently getting weather warnings for snow and sleet in the coming weeks. So I don't think we are out of winter just yet. Which means it is still … Continue reading Quick and easy pizza recipe
