We don’t like the ‘new you’ business that saturates the media at the beginning of the year. What’s wrong with the old you?! OK, so maybe we don’t always look after ourselves well enough. Perhaps we eat too much over the holidays. Maybe we don’t exercise enough when there are so many other things going on….

Spicy Sprouts And Parsnips
Lots of people hate sprouts, or at least they think they do. It may be something to do with overcooking (they do contain sulphur – which we need – but it’s overcooking that gives then that icky sulphurous smell). Or prahps associations with seasonal stress and overindulgence makes them seem somewhat unappetising. We’re going to stick…
Chewy Nut and Oatmeal Cookies
As you know, we Veggie Runners like to make our recipes quick and easy when we can. We also love delicious food that can serve many purposes. This Chewy Nut and Oatmeal Cookies recipe meets all these criteria and more. They’re a doddle to make, freeze well, are really tasty and have a great blend…
Becoming a Runner – My Story
We’ve been asked quite a lot recently which of the two of us started running first, and got the other into it. I can say, hand on heart, that I would not have bothered with the thing if it weren’t for my little mother. For years, the extent of my relationship with running was sitting…
Cumin-Roasted Cauliflower Cheese Soup
Someone told us recently that what she likes about Veggie Runners recipes is that they feel like real food made by real people in real kitchens. None of that marinading ingredients for 2 days, chopping 40 bulbs of garlic into tiny slivers or sourcing obscure ingredients (well, only occasionally). Our deal is: You get hungry….
Pecan and Pear Recovery Cake
We Veggie Runners like to think of ourselves as kitchen innovators, experimental culinary artists who push definitions of (good?) taste and nudge the boundaries of what constitutes ‘cooking.’* In this spirit of epicurean adventure, we have invented what we believe will prove to be our greatest triumph: the Recovery Cake. Yes, one must eat after…
Running a Marathon is Hard : 5 Stages
Intellectually, I knew that running a marathon would be hard. I pictured blisters, sore legs, maybe being sick a bit. In the end, the physical wasn’t actually the worst of it. I had trained well, had some great kit and have learned (sometimes the hard way) how to fuel myself through a run. I was…
Ras-El-Hanout Butternut Squash Risotto
This Ras-El-Hanout Butternut Squash Risotto is something I’ve been tweaking for a while – the sweetness of the squash works well with the cinnamon in the North African spices. I’m sure a risotto purist would recoil at the sound of it, but they’d soon change their mind when they got a taste. If you have…
The Tetley Gallery Launch – Art Run
Like art and love running? Lucky you – Veggie Runners have teamed up with The Tetley, Leeds’ new centre for contemporary art and learning, for an incredible Art Run event. Join us at noon on Saturday 30th November to celebrate the launch of The Tetley with a unique 3-mile run that blends art, history and exercise in one…
Running Away From Home: Barcelona
I love not marathon training! It was a bit (I imagine) like trying for a baby: worthwhile, and with a great goal in mind, but with a bit of the fun taken out of the process. </end of comparison> I’ve just been doing 3-5 milers, a few times a week, at the pace I want…
Spiced Leek and Chickpeas
All images: Zsolt Sandor / MothershipUK This lightly spiced dish has a delicate, distinctive flavour. We created it for the vegan brunch we hosted after the Jane Tomlinson Leeds 10k in July. All of our guests had bravely (foolishly?!) sweated their way round the course on a sweltering day. The least we could do was…
