Sausage Salad for a Sizzling Summer
Sausage salad is one of the best meals to prepare for a sizzling summer. It’s my summertime take on a comfort food classic – sausage and mash. There are plenty of flavours and textures to keep everyone interested and the zesty lime & herb dressing makes this salad sing. It’s quick and easy to put together, makes a tasty family meal but is also impressive enough for entertaining.

Lettuce & Pea Soup with New Potatoes
Spring has arrived with fresh green shoots and an abundance of flowers. Simple, seems suddenly very appealing. This spring lettuce & pea soup with new potatoes is super simple, both in the making and in the eating. The flavours taste fresh and clean. There are only six ingredients involved, seven if you make your own stock from the pea pods, eight if you add croutons. As a bonus, it’s also vegan and fat-free (excluding croutons).
Vegan Oca Peanut Stew with Kale
We often add ocas to vegetable stews when we have them, but rarely do they get to be the star of the show. This vegan oca peanut stew changes all that and allows the ocas to shine in their own right. The ocas are simmered in a rich tomato and peanut concoction which complements their brisk lemony notes beautifully. Kale adds a splash of colour and a whole heap of additional nourishment.
Teriyaki Rice Bowl Recipe with Tofu & Brussels Sprouts
If you want to make your Brussels sprouts super tasty, this teriyaki rice bowl recipe is the way to do it. In fact, it’s a sure fire winner. It’s quick and easy to make, is packed with protein rich tofu and nutritious Brussels sprouts and made extra delicious with my very own homemade teriyaki sauce. It’s completely dairy-free and a meal I was so impressed with that I made it twice during Veganuary this year.
Spicy Peanut Butter Noodles with Steamed Vegetables and Smoked Tofu
This recipe for spicy peanut butter noodles with steamed vegetables and smoked tofu is quite a feast and one the whole family will enjoy.

It’s a very quick meal to put together, although a bit of juggling is needed to get everything ready at the same time.
Ribollita – A Delicious, Hearty and Satisfying Vegan Tuscan Soup
Yes, spring has most definitely sprung. It’s been a long time coming. Soups may not be on the top of everyone’s list of things to eat as they bathe in the sunshine today, but the night’s are still chilly and a good bowl of soup is satisfying at almost any time of the year. Ribollita is a hearty vegan Tuscan soup made from cannellini beans, stale bread and kale. It may not sound that appetising, but it’s delicious.
Miso Marinated Tofu with My Pasta’s Last Stand – Vegan & Gluten Free
Whenever I need to get supper on and I haven’t thought about what we’re going to eat, I inevitably turn to my Pasta’s Last Stand. It’s always delicious, I don’t need any special ingredients, but best of all, I don’t have to think about it. Normally I’d scatter a bit of cheese over the top, but as it’s Veganuary this month, I thought I’d ring the changes and scatter some miso marinated tofu over it instead.
Black Chickpea & Red Quinoa Burgers with Prunes
Who doesn’t love a good veggie burger? Not many I’m guessing. I’m a big fan, though I don’t make them as often as I should, or, maybe could. These black chickpea & red quinoa burgers with prunes are easy to make, hold together well and taste super scrumptious. Served with caramelised onions, tomatoes & chilli, they are truly hard to beat.
