I much prefer making my own pastry, and this vegan short crust pastry is easy – and the recipe works. I found it here. Thanks to Veganlovlie. Check out their blog and website. I have just used this recipe to make a quiche. Ingredients: 2 ¼ C flour (I used wholewheat flour – nice nutty …
Madame Renoir’s Sauted Chicken
This vegan version of Madame Renoir’s Sauted Chicken was just what I needed to hone my seitan making skills. And as we are stuck in lockdown at the moment I am trying all sorts of recipes. I had never heard of Madame Renoir and her chicken till it popped up in one of Rick Stein’s …
Vegan Steak Bake
A while ago one of the UK fast food chains (Greggs) came up with a Vegan Steak Bake. I thought I would try making my version. I cheated a bit and used a bought puff pastry. For the filling I simply sauted some finely chopped onion and garlic, added some TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein) along …
Seitan Steaks

Beet Wellington

He calls it a Beet Pithivier (no I have never heard that word before either) but it is a good vegan version of the traditional Beef Wellington. …
Vegan Apple Crumble
Vegan apple crumble is pretty easy to make. Which is possibly why I have never posted a recipe for it before. You could take an ordinary apple crumble recipe and replace the butter with either vegan butter or a light vegetable oil. I don’t normally put lots of background and waffle into my posts – …
