Energy Boosting Green Smoothie (VG, GF)
Do you ever get that afternoon slump, when you’re really struggling to focus and you feel like you are ready for bed, even though it is only 2-3pm? This can easily happen when we are spending our days working at a desk. The human body was not designed for long periods of sitting, and staring at a screen for 8+ hours a day does not … Continue reading Energy Boosting Green Smoothie (VG, GF)
Peanut Butter and Berry Porridge – also known as Best Weekday Breakfast (VG, GF option)
Happy Sunday everyone (or Monday, depending on where you are in the world)! We have had a busy couple of weeks with being away on a snug holiday in England and then catching up on work and celebrating Chris’ birthday, but we will hopefully be slowing down a bit over the coming weeks as we head towards winter. And what a winter it will be… … Continue reading Peanut Butter and Berry Porridge – also known as Best Weekday Breakfast (VG, GF option)
Is it good? No it’s wonderFu’! Simple Scrambled Tofu (VG, GF, Oil-Free)
Listen up fancy hotels and restaurant chains! I’m sick to the back teeth of constantly saying “aaaaand… what do you have on the breakfast menu that’s plant based?” and being answered with: “Oh we have some tomatoes… and maybe even a flat mushroom!” “I would offer you the hash browns, but they’re fried with the bacon” “Eggs are vegan right?” There are so many amazing … Continue reading Is it good? No it’s wonderFu’! Simple Scrambled Tofu (VG, GF, Oil-Free)
Quick And Easy Vegan Pad Thai With A Twist (VG, GF)
So it’s officially autumn peeps! We’ve had some lovely sunshine in the past few weeks but you can definitely tell that we’re well on our way to winter, with the days getting shorter and the duvet making its way back into the bedroom again (I have to admit I’m pretty chuffed about this one!). Am I ready for winter? Nope, definitely not. Not a Covid-19 … Continue reading Quick And Easy Vegan Pad Thai With A Twist (VG, GF)
That’s-a spicy ‘meat’-a ball! Super Spicy Spaghetti and Meatballs (VG, GF Option)
As with all things to title a recipe on our blog using a “The Mask” quote seems oddly poignant. Right at the end of the film *spoilers* he ingests a somewhat large time bomb, which promptly explodes, causing him to burp fire and shout: “That’s a spicy meat-a ball”. Now in my world (a dangerous, unforgiving and disturbing place) i.e. my brain, everything should have … Continue reading That’s-a spicy ‘meat’-a ball! Super Spicy Spaghetti and Meatballs (VG, GF Option)
No-Nonsense Vegan Parm (VG, GF, Oil-Free)
This recipe is for my brother-in-law David, who believes I write too much before actually getting to the recipe. I guess it’s a blessing he’s reading them at all, so I’ll throw him a (vegan) bone here. This Parmesan-style cheesy topping can go on anything as a crust, in creamy sauces for pasta, basically anywhere you want a salty, cheesy hit. The method? Measure, blend, … Continue reading No-Nonsense Vegan Parm (VG, GF, Oil-Free)
Super Speedy ‘SOS’ Mixed Bean Chili (VG, GF, Oil-Free Option)
You know when you find yourself in that classic situation, when your sister and brother-in-law are getting a new kitchen put in, and they don’t have access to a cooker / stove / hob, so you offer to cook and drive them loads of food and then you remember at the last minute, feel terrible and want to make something really nice to make up … Continue reading Super Speedy ‘SOS’ Mixed Bean Chili (VG, GF, Oil-Free Option)
“Can we have pizza?”, “We have pizza at home!”: Red Onion, Mushroom and BBQ Jackfruit Pizza (VG, GF Option)
When you really think about it, pizza is just a real-time pie chart of how much pizza you have left. Pizza is without a doubt the ultimate food. When you say you’re having pizza, people are excited; even bad pizza is still good pizza and of course most importantly it inspired a great moment in TV history which is quoted (in our household) more than … Continue reading “Can we have pizza?”, “We have pizza at home!”: Red Onion, Mushroom and BBQ Jackfruit Pizza (VG, GF Option)
Here we go(bi)! Baked Aloo Gobi – Indian style spiced Potato and Cauliflower (VG, GF, Oil Free)
We’re on the downward slope folks. We’re past the peak of summer, the days are getting cooler (I mean, it’s still _pretty warm_ but that’s on me being English and never being happy with the temperature). The good news though is that we can start making warm, comfort dishes to carry us into the exciting winter months (and trust me, we have some great stuff … Continue reading Here we go(bi)! Baked Aloo Gobi – Indian style spiced Potato and Cauliflower (VG, GF, Oil Free)
Katsu-out-of-the-bag: Baked Tofu Katsu Curry (VG, GF Option, Oil Free)
I am obsessed with this recipe. In fact – beyond obsessed. Check my Instagram page and you will see at least half of the recent pictures dotted around are basically me making this recipe and then posting how proud I am of it. Like a baby, except less cute and waaaaaay fewer people like the photos of my curry. Ah it’s ok though. What does … Continue reading Katsu-out-of-the-bag: Baked Tofu Katsu Curry (VG, GF Option, Oil Free)
Cheeky Crunchy Chickpeas (VG, GF, Oil Free)
Serious question… have you ever found yourself in need of a snack? Sorry my bad. Obviously, we all love a good snack-attack, but do you ever find yourself stood in the kitchen, in your Hygge clothes, blanket wrapped around you, Netflix on pause about 5 seconds into the episode, about 1.5/2 hours after dinner thinking… “mmmm, but I could still nibble something…”? Yeah. That’s what … Continue reading Cheeky Crunchy Chickpeas (VG, GF, Oil Free)
Keepin’ it steamy: Hot breakfast Guac (VG, GF, Oil Free)
Don’t panic! I’m here, normal service can now be resumed! Seriously though it’s been a lovely break for me not having to worry too much about posting; last week was Andreea’s turn to post (and I’m glad she did because that pasta was incredible!) and the weekend before last was simply wonderful. That’s pretty much it. If you follow us on Instagram, you’ ll know … Continue reading Keepin’ it steamy: Hot breakfast Guac (VG, GF, Oil Free)
Roasted Mediterranean Vegetable Pasta Bake (VG, GF option)
Hi Everyone, Andreea here! It’s been a while since my last post, but I am back with an easy and delicious pasta recipe for you. I. Love. Pasta. And who doesn’t, really?? On Wednesday this week I ended up finishing work about an hour and a half later than I should have (tsk tsk) and I wanted to make a pasta dish for dinner. We … Continue reading Roasted Mediterranean Vegetable Pasta Bake (VG, GF option)
Chris’ ‘sort-of-Spaghetti Bolognese’ (VG, GF)
As a kid I grew up eating the most amazing variety of foods that my parents, and indeed family, would cook and I’m very grateful that I had that privilege and inspiration from an early age… Ha! Got you! You thought this was going to be a serious, emotional post didn’t you? But in all seriousness, I often look back fondly on my childhood, not … Continue reading Chris’ ‘sort-of-Spaghetti Bolognese’ (VG, GF)
Quarantine Superstar aka Banana Bread (VG)
If we were to choose one dish to represent the last few months or maybe even 2020 on the whole, it would have to be banana bread. As most of us had to completely overhaul our daily routines and adjust to spending all our time in the same space, we put our metaphorical hats on and started making banana bread. And more banana bread. And … Continue reading Quarantine Superstar aka Banana Bread (VG)
The Sweet-Tooth Fairy’s No-Bake Oreo Chocolate ‘Cheese’cake (VG)
I don’t know about you guys but is there anything better in this world than a REALLY good dessert? You’ve had a delicious meal, you’ve enjoyed the wine (in my case a bit _too_ much) and now you’re just craving something sweet. I’m not talking light here, by the way. People who like your lemon possets and grapefruit sorbet you guys can leave now because … Continue reading The Sweet-Tooth Fairy’s No-Bake Oreo Chocolate ‘Cheese’cake (VG)
“Honey, where’s my super Soup?” – Sweet Potato, Coconut and Chili Soup (VG, GF)
Howdy y’all! It’s Chris coming back at you with another of my absolutely favorite recipes to make. Now the secret to this one is, first of all to watch The Incredibles if you don’t get the *ahem* slightly altered quote in the title, and then second of all to make this when the weather turns colder or wetter. We’ve entered into this strange period of … Continue reading “Honey, where’s my super Soup?” – Sweet Potato, Coconut and Chili Soup (VG, GF)
Delicious, Healthy-depending-on-what-you-put-ON-them, Banana Waffles (VG, GF Option)
I am a bit of a brunch nerd. A Brerd? A Nunch? Well, I don’t know quite how to describe it, but boy oh boy I _love_ brunch. And not (just) because it’s a good excuse to have a mimosa at like 11am. No, the reason I like Brunch is because it gives me ample time in bed to snooze my alarm the required 6,734,900 … Continue reading Delicious, Healthy-depending-on-what-you-put-ON-them, Banana Waffles (VG, GF Option)
Super-easy and healthy enchiladas (VG, GF option, Oil Free)
So Chris did the honours and shared our very first recipe here, which is one of our favourite brunch options. That frittata is the best thing to have on a Sunday morning, whether it’s sunny or rainy. Another recipe we fell in love with is inspired by The Happy Pear’s vegan oil-free enchiladas. We love Steve and Dave, and not only for their delicious recipes, … Continue reading Super-easy and healthy enchiladas (VG, GF option, Oil Free)

Hola amigos! Welcome to the snug vegans! My name is Chris and I’ll be guiding you through this very first post, and I hope you stick around on this adventure with the both of us in the years to come.
