Five Easy Vegan Recipes

Five Easy Vegan Recipes

Lots of people are switching to a vegan diet. Lots of people are also getting fed up quite quickly with trying to work out what to eat! It is easy to eat vegan, as long as you have some tasty recipes to put a bit of joy on your plate. These Five Easy Vegan Recipes are all…

6 Hearty Vegan Soups

6 Hearty Vegan Soups

As the weather draws in, we start thinking about soup and dark runs with headlamps. With our marathon behind us, our next goal is Leeds Abbey Dash at the beginning of November.  This means that October will be full of tempo runs as the light just changes to dark, and we’ll want to be tucked up…

Spicy Sprouts And Parsnips

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…

Spiced Leek and Chickpeas

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…

Black Urad Dahl Balls with Lime and Mint Dressing

Black Urad Dahl Balls with Lime and Mint Dressing

After running 96 miles along the West Highland Way last summer, all I could think about was food. Seriously, aching muscles count for nothing when you’re that hungry! We (my running buddy, Sarah Leitch, and I) went for the ultimate recovery curry at Mother India in Glasgow. You won’t be surprised to hear that it…

Curried Split Pea and Roasted Red Pepper Soup

Curried Split Pea and Roasted Red Pepper Soup

Split peas are one of those dry goods that can hang around in your store cupboard for years, unused and unloved. Which is a shame because you can make some amazingly tasty recipes with them. I mentioned the bag of split peas lurking in my pantry before when I wrote up our Spicy Thai Bean…

Tofu and Cashew Pad Thai

Tofu and Cashew Pad Thai

Pad Thai can be a bit of a faff to make. There are a lot of ingredients and it can look a bit daunting. If you’ve read our recipes before, you’ll know that we don’t like to operate like that. We love great food and appreciate that it can take time to get a dish…

The Best Roasted Butternut Squash Ever

The Best Roasted Butternut Squash Ever

I wouldn’t say this is the best unless it were true. Mum and I ate this as part of our carbo-loading feast before the Blenheim Palace Half-Marathon last week and we were still going on about how good it was at about mile 10. Mum has begged me to get this posted asap so that…

Aubergine and Spinach Curry

Aubergine and Spinach Curry

I’ve heard people say they don’t like aubergines but, on closer investigation (just call me Ace Detective Janey Dodge), it’s rarely the taste that they object to. It’s the texture that generally seems to be the problem. They’re either not soft enough and have a kind of rubbery, teeth-on-edge consistency, or they’re too mushy and…

Spicy Thai Bean Burgers

Spicy Thai Bean Burgers

Every now and again you find a stray packet of beans, peas or the like in the cupboard. You don’t remember where you bought them, or when, and more often than not can’t imagine what possessed you to pick them up in the first place. Such was the case with the split peas I chanced…

Moroccan Chickpea Tagine with Fragrant Brown Rice

Moroccan Chickpea Tagine with Fragrant Brown Rice

This recipe has quickly become one of my favourites to impress friends with something a bit different. The lemon and olives give it a unique punchy flavour and can be made with various different vegetable. I have used courgette, but it would certainly go well with aubergine, green beans, carrots or squash. On this occasion I served…

Spicy Flapjacks

Spicy Flapjacks

OK, I’ll admit it. I based this Spicy Flapjacks recipe on one written by a 12 year old boy. In my defence, he did have it published in The Guardian so I figure it was already in the public domain and therefore fair game. Plus it’s a variation on what is apparently a staple party food for…
