Rice Pilaf with Baked Squash

A lovely combination of flavours. Try with Red Pepper & Pine Nut Sauce - easy to make with a stick blender.

Pasta with Aubergine and Artichokes

This is real burst of Mediterranean of loveliness. Quick too.

Sweet & Sour Stir-fry with Beef-style or Chicken-style Pieces

This makes a lot – a really good filling meal for 4 people, but it can be downsized. The fresh Sweet & Sour Sauce is easy to make and very tasty - but if you are short of time, simply use a good ready-made version.
Wok strips or pieces make a great cross-over food for those who still enjoy meat-style texture and flavour but don'...

Barbecue Beans

We tend to think of baked beans as a tinned product, but of  course, they were originally slow cooked in a casserole. This dish has a nice home-cooked taste.
This will work in a slow cooker too. Fry up the onion, garlic and potato in a frying pan then add to the slow cooker along with everything else.
However you cook it,...

Szechuan Tofu with Veggie Beef

Made in honour of a meat-eater who loved eating this dish in Hong Kong. Apparently, it tastes very much like the real thing!

Baked Butternut Squash with Saucy Rice & Salad

This is a truly sumptuous dish yet it isn't difficult. If you don't have cooked wholegrains, they can be made - as with the sauce and salad - while the squash is baking. The picture here shows the recipe made with quinoa. Try experimenting - a fried smoked tofu cubes or a few handfuls of cooked aduki beans would work well in the recipe.

Gujerati Vegetable Curry

A simple, easy curry that's good served with warm chappatis or brown rice. Alternatively, try our easy dahl recipe - and add a dollop of plain soya yoghurt on the side for good measure!

It can also be made from cooked leftover potatoes - just add them later in the cooking process so they don't go too mushy.

Indonesian Rice Noodles

One of those eastern soupy-stew recipes that is really aromatic and satisfying. Just make sure you get the thicker rice noodles, not the 'bird's nest' type! If you would prefer to use brown rice noodles, check cooking time on the packet and adjust accordingly - they may take a bit longer. Clearspring makes brown rice and brown rice udon...

Moroccan Tofu Tagine with Peppers and Olives
Buckwheat Pancakes with Spicy Stuffing

A very nice way to use left-over potatoes. This recipe tastes good with a dollop of soya yoghurt or served with Lentil Dahl and steamed cabbage or spinach.
A non-stick or well-seasoned cast-iron pan is essential to make good pancakes.
Time-saving tips:
1.Make the pancakes in advance, Re-heat by wrapping in foil and...
