Sides & Sauces

That’s right croutons are not typically vegan. But these ones are. We will be using great bread and plenty of seasonings to produce the perfect crisp croutons.

Try our quick and tasty vegan recipe of mac and cheese for a satisfying dinner or side dish. Ready in just 15 minutes with simple from-the-cupboard ingredients.

This tasty root vegetable is the foundation for so many low-priced and simple dinner recipes. This cooking method though will make sure that you have a crisp jacketed, fluffy centred and flavour-packed baked potato.

I enjoy having what we call a picnic meal. One regular dish that will find its way to this summer-style feast is an easy, and very tasty potato salad. If the ingredients list to this recipe doesn’t seem like a lot, you would be right. This is the perfect simple side dish.

If you are looking for a new snacking alternative, then a crispy handful of kale chips might be the answer. The first time I made these, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed them. My wife and I found ourselves with a new movie night snack, sharing a bowl of these on the sofa on a Friday night.

After you have scooped out your bright orange friend’s insides, what do you do with the leftovers? Plenty is the answer, and I imagine that I will write several recipes on this topic, as I already have a few planned, so look out for a pumpkin package close to October. This time however we are going to focus on an easy and delicious snack that we can do using all of the leftover seeds.

Who doesn’t crave a good, fresh batch of hot homemade soup now and again? Especially when accompanied by a warm crusty bread roll (which we will not be baking, life is too short, let’s keep it simple). So carrot and coriander soup is selling this a bit short, it’s more like a carrot and coriander, and onion, and cream, and an assortment of great seasonings soup. If you find a soup recipe that has only two ingredients, probably go ahead and steer clear of it, unless you’re a fan of bland. 

We all need some easy snacking now and again, or perhaps you’re just looking for something different to fill your lunchbox. Potato cakes are a great homemade and often a healthier alternative.

Soup is simple, and this vegan leek and potato soup is especially so, it’s a one-pot meal made from only a handful of ingredients. Also, this is one recipe that is great to use up those leftover potatoes

Making your own marinara sauce is simple. The method I am going to walk you through, doesn’t even require you to chop more than one single ingredient, and from your kitchens inventory you will require only one pan, a spoon and maybe a can opener.
