Taco Tuesday With A Twist 🌮


Hi there, Reader

What happens when taco night and pasta night have a baby? You get my brand new One-Pot Vegan Taco Pasta!

We're talking tender macaroni, black beans and corn in a spicy, 'meaty' taco-seasoned sauce. Everything (even the macaroni) is cooked in one pot, and it can be ready and on the table in 28 minutes.

My top tip: don't skip the toppings! Set them out on the table and let everyone build their own bowls. Avocado, dairy-free sour cream, green onions, cilantro, shredded vegan cheese, a squeeze of lime and, most importantly, a big handful of crumbled tortilla chips. That crunch!!! 🤤

Hi there, Reader Did you love pâté before going plant-based? Or maybe you just never fancied the meat version. Either way, I’ve got just the recipe for you! My Vegetable Pâté is made from roasted potatoes, carrots, onion and garlic, blended with flax, sunflower seeds, nooch and dried herbs and spices. Then I fold in chopped nuts for a lovely bit of crunch and extra flavour. Roasting the veggies first is the secret. It gives the pâté a deep, rich flavour you don’t get any other way. My top...

Hi there, Reader Raise your hand if you’re in full-on cozy carb mode right now. 🙋♀️ Same. So let’s lean right into it with my Creamy Vegan Pumpkin Pasta! It’s garlicky, it’s pumpkin-y, it’s lusciously rich, and it’s made all in one pot in about 20 minutes. I’m obsessed, and judging by the comments, I’m not the only one! I've included some below so you don't have to just take my word for it. Here’s the magic part: you don’t cook the pasta first. Just throw the DRIED pasta straight into the...
