Harissa Tahini Protein Bowl
I make a version of this type of meal ALL of the time – it’s my favourite way to eat! A bowl packed with so many plants and different flavours. If anyone thinks this is too boring or too healthy – give it a try and I promise you will be surprised!
Tofu Skewers
I recently made these tofu skewers for a dinner party I was hosting, and they turned out so good! They look like a really impressive dish if you are having guests over, but they are relatively simple to make.
Korean Inspired Noodles
These noodles are SO delicious, and have a real kick from the gochujang sauce. They’re a really quick meal, but so packed full of nutrition and flavour. They are ideal for a nourishing and tasty weeknight meal. This sauce will be your new obsession – you’ve been warned!
Lentil & Tofu Bolognese
A delicious Bolognese full of texture thanks to the lentils and tofu, and packed full of flavour.
The Best Ever ‘TLT’ (Tofu version of a BLT!)
This is the best sandwich ever, and you need it in your life! Not even joking when I say we eat this every single weekend for brunch, and dream about it during the week… it’s that good!
Smokey Mixed Bean & Tofu Chilli
One pot, loads of plants – the perfect dinner! I’m loving trying out variations of bean chillis and stews at the moment as beans are just so healthy and packed with nutrients, I like to get as many as possible into my diet.
Spicy Tomato Tofu/Tempeh
This is a super simple (literally the easiest) way to make some flavourful baked tofu/tempeh.
Sticky Sesame Tofu/Tempeh
If you haven’t been converted to Tofu or Tempeh yet, you NEED to try this version. I could honestly eat this every single day and be very happy!
Tofu and Chickpea Spicy Stew
This was one of the first meals I cooked for my boyfriend during Veganuary, and it stood out as a firm favourite. It’s such a delicious wholesome meal with the protein from the chickpeas and the tofu, and the spicy kick from the harissa really adds to it.
