Keralan Tofu Curry
This is a typical southern Indian style curry made with coconut, tamarind, and sliced green chillies.
The tamarind perfectly balances out the richness of the coconut which tames the heat from the green chillies.

Leeks, Sun Dried Tomatoes and asparagus Quiche
There is nothing worse than quiche with a soggy bottom, the pastry needs to be light, with a slight crunch to add texture and balance to the soft filling. This vegan Quiche recipe will give you the results you are looking for, though cooking times may vary slightly depending on your oven.

Korean Fried Tofu
Crispy tofu in a spicy Korean Gochujang Sauce.
This is a great Friday night go to which you can prepare in advance.
Make it as spicy as you like by increasing or decreasing the amount of Gochujang.
I use the the word crispy sparingly when describing recipes, as it’s used far to often to describe tofu that, well just isn’t crispy.
I can honestly say however, that by following the technique below, you will have crispy tofu you can use in a variety of dishes. Preparing the tofu is key to obtain a crispy and slightly crumbly texture, method below.

Ramen with pickled ginger and crispy tofu
A Japanese style broth with Udon noodles and loaded with veggies, the perfect healthy lunch.
Ramen is all about the broth; it just can't be rushed. It needs time to build the complex flavours. If you cook your broth the day before, it's even better. It's very easy to make and personalise to your taste.
The more the better

Fig, Strawberry and Franjipan Tart
This vegan tart makes a fantastic dessert for those lazy summer days, best served with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream or a touch of vegan cream. The pastry can be made in a food processor, which makes life a little easier for those of us with super hot hands.
The blind baked case is cooked low and slow, to avoid over cooking and has a wonderful light crumbly texture.

Overnight Breakfast Oats
For anyone that hasn’t been introduced to overnight oats. This is such a great healthy breakfast that you make the night before. May be we should call them make them “The night before oats.”
We made ours with a little agave and sugar free Alpro yogurt.

Fideua (Pasta Paella)
Fideua is basically Paella made with Pasta, I’ve been working on this for a while and to be honest it a better dish to veganise than Paella. The thin angel hair pasta more readily absorbs the flavours from the olive oil, saffron and smoked sweet paprika. I think it's down to the toasting of the pasta in olive oil. It’s also quicker than paella to cook and can be finished or even reheated in the oven.
