Char-grilled Tenderstem Broccoli with Whole Tahini Sauce

This creamy whole tahini sauce is great with raw, grilled or baked vegetables. We used the whole tahini sesame paste as it gives a more rich nutty flavour to the sauce.

Grilled Little Gem Salad with White Tahini Dressing

This is an easy dressing which you can pour over raw or cooked vegetables. The combination of the creamy white tahini paste, fresh lemon juice with the umami boost of the white miso brings the flavour together.

Hijiki with Carrot and Coriander Salad

Hijiki is a distinctive jet-black sea vegetable that grows on the ocean floor in long thin strands. It is most widely popular as an ingredient in Japanese cuisine. It is naturally rich in flavour with a delicate texture. Its colour contrasts beautifully with other vibrant ingredients and works wonderfully well when combined with grains and other vegetables.

Sushi can be enjoyed in many shape and form by using vinegared rice.

Here we made our take on Dragon Roll Uramaki using Follow Your Heart Organic Vegenaise.

Sashimi Kanten with Karashi Sumiso Sauce

It is almost like a seaweed aquarium! Sashimi kanten is essentially a seaweed and agar jelly with a sweet and spicy mustard miso sauce. It may also be enjoyed with soy sauce and wasabi just like sashimi. I used Clearspring Atlantic Agar Flakes for this recipe, which is very powerful so you only need a small amount of it to set the liquid.

Seaweed and Spring Onion Pancake

Seaweed and Spring Onion Pancake with chilli oil dipping sauce. This recipe is inspired by the Chinese street food Cōng yóubǐng (葱油饼), it is simple yet addictive! I have added my own twist to it by adding aonori and seaweed for extra flavour.

Shiraae Tofu Salad with Arame Sea Vegetable

This is one of the most traditional tofu recipes in Japan. The classic recipe is slightly sweeter than my version. I also used soft instead of firm tofu for a silkier texture. To avoid achieving a watery flavour you will need to remove any excess water from the tofu before using it.

You can replace the asparagus with any green vegetables, which you can steam or boil, if you prefer not to cook them in oil.

Gazpacho Salad with Silken Tofu

This is a salad version of a traditional gazpacho cold soup, with all the usual veg - tomatoes, cucumber, pepper, chilli & celery. Salting the tomatoes & cucumber draws out some of their juices that then forms part of the dressing. We've added maftoul, but couscous, quinoa etc will all work well.

Apple Cider Vinegar - ACV Turmeric Dipping sauce

The perfect balance of sweet and sour sauce, with the added Tamari soya sauce brings out the umami flavour to your dishes. You can also use this sauce to marinate vegetables, jackfruit or create quick pickles.

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.

Vegan Jackfruit (Fish-Free) Fish Fingers

Kids love these! Big kids love them too. The taste of the seaweed with the texture of the jackfruit makes this the perfect substitution for fish fingers. Plus it's a very easy recipe. Serve them with mashed potato and baked beans or steamed mangetout with capers and sliced avocado.
