Corn, Almond Cheese & Blueberry Salad
Fresh corn on the cob is one of my favourite summer foods. It tastes better than canned or frozen sweetcorn by a million miles. I’ve only eaten it cooked with some salt and vegan butter, or lightly grilled on the barbecue. It’s also a longstanding go-to when heading out for a picnic. But I decided… Read more »

Nacho Platter
It’s been so much fun making my fruit platters on Saturdays. And then we were having nachos and I realised I could do something similar. So here’s my first attempt at a nacho platter with taco flavoured soy mince, avocado, lime, tomatoes, cucumbers and sweet corn, plus vegan cheese and a tomato salsa. A fun… Read more »

Corn Chowder
Another new discovery that I’ve made through Instagram. A warm, comfy soup with sweetness from the corn. I don’t have an exact recipe, but I sautéed onion and garlic, added corn (I had to use frozen) and potato, water, vegetable stock and oat cream. When the potato was soft, I blended half of the soup… Read more »

Underneath the mash is chopped onion and garlic, grated carrots, peas and sweetcorn quickly fried in a pan with a bit of oil, black pepper and some soy… Read more »

Pad Thai
Another Asian dish, this time the fantastic rice noodle wok Pad Thai. This one is inspired by @hannelenesvegetar, with great additions like red cabbage and edamame. I made a sesame tofu with lots of tahini in the marinade, which was great with this dish. I cheated and used store bought Pad Thai sauce (luckily I… Read more »

Does nachos count as #tacotuesday? Anyway, this is a favourite in my family, based on a recipe from @welldonesthlm. Cover an oven tray with parchment paper, and spread out nacho chips and tortillas cut in pieces. Cover with soy minced (fried with onion, garlic, cumin, paprika and some tinned tomatoes) and sweetcorn. Use vegan cheese… Read more »

Noodle Stir Fry with Peanut Sauce
This is like mash-up of Pad Thai and satay. Good? Yes, indeed! Especially if you like peanuts, and who doesn’t? You can add any veggies you like to the stir fry, just make sure to fry them quickly on high heat so they don’t go too soft. Start with the sauce, so the stir fry… Read more »
