Spicy Queso
Meltable, dip-able, ultra-stretchy cheese dip made with boiled potatoes, cashews, and the ultimate secret ingredient: pickle juice! Perfect for dunking corn tortillas or smothering over nachos.
Creamy White Bean & Zucchini Lasagna
Forget heavy dairy-laden lasagna. This version features a rich, slow-simmered tomato sauce, crispy texturized soy mince, layers of fresh zucchini, and a silky white bean "bechamel" that will leave you feeling satisfied rather than stuffed.
Chorizo
Who says you can't have a sliceable, smoky, spicy Spanish chorizo on your charcuterie board without the animal cruelty? Vital wheat gluten meets harissa, liquid smoke, and fennel seeds for a chewy salami that will make your guests question everything they thought they knew about cured meats.
Dragon Fruit & Pear Salad
A crisp, vibrant, sweet-and-sour salad that proves greens don't have to be boring. Dragon fruit, juicy pear, and tangy pickled veggies dressed in a zesty agave-mustard drizzle—brunch perfection in 5 minutes.
Fudgy Coffee-Infused Brownies
Intensely chocolatey, gooey in the center, and crispy on top. We are using flax eggs, instant coffee, and ground almonds to get that decadent bakery-style fudginess without a single hen's egg in sight.
Whole Boiled Lemon Cake
Yes, you read that right: we are boiling a whole lemon—skin, pith, and all—and blending it straight into the cake batter. No food waste, intense citrus flavor, and zero gummy texture thanks to a clever 10-minute resting trick.
Charred watermelon Steaks
Putting fruit on the grill? Absolutely. When you marinate thick slabs of watermelon and sear them on a smoking hot grill pan, something magical happens—it turns savory, smoky, and dangerously juicy.
Melty Sunflower Seed Cheese
Who knew humble sunflower seeds could turn into a rich, stretchy, melty cheese? No expensive nuts required—just a short boil, a quick blend, and a turn on the stove for a cheese that bubbles beautifully under the grill.
Smoky plant-based ham
Missing that savory, smoky roast? We are blending extra-firm tofu with vital wheat gluten and a rich, sticky spice marinade to create a sliceable, plant-based ham that will blow your mind.
Spiced Apple Pancakes
Who says apple pancakes are only for cozy autumn mornings? This quick batter uses grated apples and warm cinnamon (canela) to make fluffy, golden disks that will make your kitchen smell incredible.
Crispy Sweet Pomelo Tofu
Takeout style, but way better and with zero animal cruelty. We are pressing the tofu to make it incredibly crispy, then coating it in a sticky, sweet and sour ginger-pomelo glaze that will make you forget about your local Chinese restaurant.
Steamed Rice Cheese
Meltable, sliceable, and deeply savory cheese made from... rice? It sounds completely crazy, but this block cheese matures beautifully in the fridge and is perfect for melting on pizzas or slicing into sandwiches.
Triple Lemon Pancakes
Why choose between a fluffy pancake, toasted meringue, and thick lemon curd when you can have all three? This recipe is a bright, sweet, citrus-packed explosion that makes for a theatrical weekend brunch centerpiece.
Baffling Bologna Sausage
Yes, you can make a completely plant-based, sliceable bologna. And no, it doesn’t involve any weird laboratory chemicals. We are using humble red lentils, creamy cashews, and a tiny piece of beetroot to trick your brain into thinking it is the real deal.
Torched Crême Brulée
Who says vegans have to miss out on the ultimate dessert classic? This recipe takes rich, fat plant milk and turns it into a silky, wobbly custard with a crackable, torched lid that will make you feel like a professional pastry chef.
Banana pancakes
Need a lazy Sunday breakfast but don't want to spend an hour prepping? These American-style pancakes are thick, fluffy, and the absolute best way to use up that one sad, brown banana sitting on your kitchen counter. Let's get scruffy.
Cruffin
Think making your own laminated cruffin/croissant dough from scratch is a brilliant idea? You're probably right, but it's going to test you. It takes a massive amount of Canarian paciencia, endless folding, and an absurd amount of waiting. But the payoff? A buttery, flaky, hazelnut-stuffed cruffin that will make you feel like a French pastry god.
Gnocchi Comfort Dish
Need a hug in a bowl but don't want to work too hard for it? This bubbling pan of gnocchi, gooey vegan cheese, and a rich tomato sauce is exactly what you need. Yes, you could use store-bought tomato sauce if you want to do this quickly, but making it from scratch is always better.
Roaring Ricotta
Think vegan cheese is sad? Think again. This creamy, tangy tofu ricotta whips up in mere minutes and will make you forget dairy ever existed. We love serving it with perfectly charred grilled vegetables, but honestly, it is so good you might just eat it straight out of the food processor. A vegan recipe to savour.
Coffee Tiramisu
One crazy good dessert. This plant-based tiramisu looks ridiculously fancy but uses a magic whipped coffee mousse and store-bought Biscoff cookies.
