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
I have been trying to cook more and am slowly getting more comfortable with the various forms of vegan protein options that are out there. Standard firm tofu I find to be a very fickle mistress, and I prefer using it in stir fries or scrambles, but I decided to finally try silken tofu. Silken … Continue reading Vegan carbonara with white sauce

Which means that I am constantly craving warm comfort foods to get me through the horrid winter weather. I am not someone who does well in the cold (so a … Continue reading Tortilla Beyond Meat Burrito
Wagamama’s vegan chicken Coconut kare
I might be a little late to the party, but the new Wagamama menu was released recently and I finally managed to get a table at my local branch to have a look at what they have to offer. As usual, Wagamama is still offering vegan meals for around 50% of their menu, and they … Continue reading Wagamama’s vegan chicken Coconut kare
Wicked kitchen Italian inspired amazeballs (meatballs)
I still believe that you cannot beat spaghetti and meatballs as one of the ultimate comfort meals. Even just the basic recipe of meatballs, pasta, and tomato sauce is an elite meal in my opinion. My go to staple for the meatballs is usually the Tesco frozen range, purely because they are frozen and so … Continue reading Wicked kitchen Italian inspired amazeballs (meatballs)
Wasabi onigiri seaweed salad
I love sushi. I can make my own but there are sometimes when out and about that you just want something light but filling to get you through the day. On a recent trip into London, my husband and I decided to try Wasabi for lunch. Now we are normally Itsu people, purely because there … Continue reading Wasabi onigiri seaweed salad
Simple asparagus risotto
I know it is meant to be spring at the moment, but in England it is still very much feeling like winter. It means that I am still craving hearty and warming comfort food, but still wanting to try and welcome that spring time vibe into existence. I have tested this recipe out a few … Continue reading Simple asparagus risotto
