Still buzzing from Vegan Campout so decided to try one of my free goodies from the festival for lunch. Got this as a gift from The Vegan Society after signing up as a member. Delicious & quick miso noodle soup! Topped with carrot, kale & cashews. Will definitely be making this again🤤 #veganfood 🍜

Coming home from Vegan Campout and not sure what I'll be cooking tonight. It's been a fantastic weekend with lots of delicious food 🤤 My highlights include gelato (of course!), Caribbean chickpea and spinach curry with the BEST fried plantain and a mix of #vegan Chinese food! #veganfood 🍜

Last evening of our long weekend camping trip... Made a one pot "pilau" dish. A mix of brown rice, carrots, onion, petit pois, dried apricots and vegan chicken pieces. Stirfry veggies, add rice and vegetable stock, boil for 20min. Perfect for the campsite but easy to make at home too! #veganfood 🍜

Made another katsu tofu today. This time with fresh broccoli 🥦 from the garden!!🌱 So delicious. It's so fresh it literally only needs 2min to cook. I've also started a second batch of broccoli seedlings for a late summer / autumn harvest 💚 #veganfood 🍜

The good thing about making lasagna is that it makes for a quick weekday meal. I always double up on the red sauce so I have extras for a quick pasta later on. It's filled with veggies too: carrots, pepper, leek, tomatoes, onions. Served with some fresh cherry tomatoes from the garden 🌱 #veganfood 🍜

Lasagna today because I was in need of comfort food. I used whole wheat lasagna sheets to make it healthy. Also put the oven a tad too hot. I find cutting vegetables soothing so took my time w/ the red sauce. My partner now makes the best bechamel sauce so it's teamwork on display here! #veganfood 🍜

I love broccoli. It's hands down my favourite vegetable. I often put more broccoli in a dish than others would.. but the result is almost always a delicious dish. Broccoli never disappoints! 🥦🍜 #veganfood

I harvested my first cavolo nero kale today from the garden 🌱 so pleased it's growing well! Stirfried with some garlic and chili oils, served alongside a rice mix of beans, sweetcorn, peas, salsa, #vegan mince, and some melted ve cheese. Very delicious! #veganfood 🍜

Who has tried the new THIS Superfood already? I read mixed reviews on #vegan forums. I must say, it did not disappoint! A great addition to #plantbased #protein choices. Blended perfectly into a curry but kept its own distinct flavour without being too overpowering. Will try it again! #veganfood 🍜🍽️

I have been making this katsu style meal lately, using the Tofoo Katsu pieces. They're fantastic pieces of tofu coated in katsu spices and breadcrumbs. Serve with a vegetable stir fry of your choice, brown rice and katsu sauce. Now to learn how to make the sauce myself! #veganfood 🍜🍽️

Happy summer everyone! Here's to many more meals in the garden, surrounded by wildflowers, bees and birds. Pictured is my quick tortellini for the humans, and a mix of seeds on offer for the birds in the background, with the neighbourhood pigeon joining us for dinner #veganfood 🍜🍽️

The best part of summer? Picnics in the park with friends! Chana dahl and onion bahjis from a new local vendor in Stevenage made for a fantastic dinner this week. These bahjis were so tasty -- I need to learn how to make my own! #veganfood 🍜🍽️

I'm constantly trying new #plantbased meat substitutes as they're a really easy introduction to #veganfood for friends and family. This weekend we tried the Juicy Marbles meat and my gosh was it tasty. And it's all plants!! Served with grilled asparagus and roasted potatoes. A fantastic meal! 🍜🍽️

I won the #vegan jackpot yesterday. Our annual town's celebration finally had a vegan vendor! Needless to say I just HAD to go and support them. Blueberry, chocolate orange, lemon poppyseed and carrot cake muffins. I promise I shared the joy with others! #veganfood

I was really pleased with dinner this evening as I made my own soya mince for the first time! Our friend's husband made it for us a while back and I vowed to try it myself... And it worked! Rehydrated the soy chunks first, then marinated with miso paste, ground paprika and black pepper #veganfood 🍜🍽️

Having leftover pasta sauce is the best thing for lunch. Add a bit of pasta, some extra peas, a bit of squeaky bean vegan chorizo and you're all set. Delicious, simple, quick #veganfood 🍜🍽️
