Vegan Dinner Recipe: Nut Burger Patties

This recipe is adapted from one of the Hare Krishna recipe books. I'm pretty sure it was originally vegan anyway, bless them, but I added some stuff for extra deliciousness.

These babies can certainly be eaten on buns, with a bit of ketchup and mayo and mustard, some fried onions, some sliced tomato, lettuce, beetroot, avocado... god I'm hungry. Or, if one can't deal with the idea of eating bread (that was me) One could serve it with bean salad and a roast veggie stack. DEEE-LICIOUS.

Vegan Lunch Recipe: Easiest Mixed Bean Salad

Ever had that uh-oh, I-have-to-take-a-plate-to-a-picnic-I'm-already-late-to feeling? Or even that dinner-is-in-half-an-hour-and-it's-all-beige-thus-far feeling? Who hasn't. Let's make it colourful and massively tasty, and take half an hour. This is a go-to summer salad which is great for lunch, or a side for dinner. And it's like ONE STEP SALAD. Boom.

Vegan Breakfast Recipe: Miracle green smoothie

 

I am not one to get over-excited about smoothies. In fact, I have harboured a deep suspicion about smoothies for some time now, assuming drinking your breakfast is a rookie move. Even as I get older and lazier, I still like chewing. Furthermore, I used to not think of a smoothie as REAL FOOD. 

Until I met THIS smoothie. This guy is so packed with nutritious goodness it keeps me full for hours, and makes me feel AMAZING. I am not kidding.

Vegan Dinner Recipe: Orecchiette with white wine, garlic and greens

This is a delicious, visually appealing dinner. A grown-up dinner. A dinner that I got from a cookbook and altered slightly... and that cookbook was by my fave vegan author, Isa Chandra Moskowitz. LOVE HER. It's not an all-the-time dinner... there's no protein source included... but it's really, really tasty. And therefore excellent to serve to non-vegans, to set a good example about how TRULY QUALITY a good vegan pasta can taste. Let us begin:

Vegan Dessert Recipe: Ginger and apple steamed puddings

I had a lot of apples. A LOT. I also had the desire to slather something in caramel sauce and coconut ice-cream... and I realised the best way to do that was through together a whole load of delicious stuff and steam it in the oven.

Vegan Dinner Recipe: Pad-Thai, sort of

You know that bit in Hitch-hiker's guide to the galaxy, where Arthur keeps trying to get a cup of tea from the machine on that improbability space craft and it keeps on giving him 'something that is almost entirely, but not quite, exactly unlike tea'? This is my 'something that is almost entirely, but not quite, exactly unlike Pad-Thai'.

I love a good stir-fry, but I generally get the hankering for one right before I make dinner, so there isn't time to pre-plan it shopping-wise. So tonight I got together all the bits and pieces I had that seemed appropriate and made the closest approximation to Pad-Thai that I could. And it tasted AMAZING. So I'm passing on the recipe to you guys. Don't say I don't do anything for you!
