Tahini Tantanmen Ramen with Crispy Shiitake

This recipe is inspired by tantanmen ramen – a Japanese take on Sichuan dan dan noodles, with a broth made from soya milk and sesame – but it is by no means authentic. Typically this would have a proper stock as the base and be topped with minced (ground) pork, but I got attached to the idea of a ramen that could be knocked up quickly and that remained vegetarian/vegan. I also wanted to use udon noodles (again, untraditional), because I love their texture: big, fat, slippery, chewy – is there anything more satisfying?

Tofu Hiyayakko

A summer favourite. Hiyayakko (冷奴) means chilled tofu in Japanese. Traditionally served with grated ginger, spring onion and a drizzle of shoyu soya sauce. This recipe uses fresh coriander and fresh chilli with a drizzle of toasted sesame oil for an exciting side salad or a light meal.

Atlantic Sea Salad Flatbreads with Tofu Tahini Dip

Atlantic Sea Spaghetti Gnocchi

Fresh potato gnocchi are easy and satisfying to make, and once made is very quick to cook. These contain sea spaghetti in the gnocchi. Once cooked its nice to quickly fry in garlic with olive oil and squeeze some fresh lemon juice.

Tofu Sashimi

Japanese Sashimi style dish using our Silken Tofu and cucumber. Perfect as a side dish to go with some noodles, rice or even curry when you want a refreshing salad. In Japan it is very common to eat soft tofu straight out of the pack, here we make an Asian style dressing mixing with Italian extra virgin olive oil.

Tofu Caprese

Our Tofu Caprese offers a fresh and delightful alternative to the traditional caprese salad. Using silken tofu alongside ripe tomatoes and aromatic basil, this dish is light, delicious, and perfect for any occasion. Finished with a drizzle of umami-rich Yaemon Tamari and Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil, it’s a simple yet flavourful combination that brings a touch of elegance to your table.

Glazed Hatcho Miso Aubergine

Using Hatcho miso in your glazed brings such a deep umami flavour to your miso glazed aubergine. This glazed can be used in on any cooked or raw vegetables.

Stems And All Green Burger

My ultimate indulgence is burgers, with large portions of fries and a big dollop of ketchup, with a chocolate milkshake on the side - after all, I am American. I don't call burgers 'vegan burgers', they're all just burgers to me now. Today, meat-free burger companies are making huge waves, but I prefer my burgers to be made with nothing but plants, which means I make my own. This burger is loaded with nutrients to leave you feeling satisfied.

Odds and Ends Pesto

This zero-waste pesto is one of my favourite ways to re-purpose pesky green stems that would otherwise be tossed in the bin.

Creamy Tofu Tomato Carbonara

Creamy bowl of comfort food. Whether you are carb loading for your next run or wanting a bowl of delicious spaghetti with no dairy products, this is the one for you! Really easy recipe to make on a busy day and a perfect meal to feed the whole family.

Fatteh - Baked Aubergine with Roasted Chickpeas, Flatbread & Garlic Sauce

This is my take on Fatteh.....baked aubergine, roasted chickpeas, gluten free pitta , garlic lemon tahini yoghurt, cumin, parsley and sumac. I worked with a Palestinian client for four years, learning his family recipes and introducing him to my recipes. This is one (of many) I learnt during that time. I changed it a little by roasting the chickpeas in a little extra virgin olive oil and salt. They take on a lovely golden colour and become slightly crunchy. Get all of your ingredients ready in bowls around your plate and then stack it up!

Tomato & Radish Za'atar Salad

Argan oil has a taste like no other. It's distinctive flavour is a perfect match for ripe small tomatoes and fragrant za'atar. This is a dish where the combination of the ingredients is so perfect that every element shines.

A rich, creamy vegan spaghetti made using our silken tofu. Tofu is an amazingly versatile product edible straight from the pack, cooked or put in a blender to make a creamy white sauce. Here, we use it to make a classic warming and velvety plant-based carbonara. Keep any leftover sauce for use as a dip or in salad dressings!
