Vegan Cucumber Mint Raita

Remember those ‘Franks Red Hot Sauce’ commercials with catch phrase ‘I put that s***t on everything!’?
Well I put THIS on everything! Potatoes, rice, anything spicy, fish, with curry, as a vegetable dip, alongside a savory brunch, or with daal. It’s the perfect cooling. creamy addition to any dish. I use coconut yoghurt here (I buy coconut collab plain yoghurt) but you can use plain, Greek, Icelandic or even goat yoghurt for the same effect. Its an incredible flexible recipe as well- you can omit the cucumber, lemon or olive oil, and add honey for sweetness, lemon zest for a delicate flavour, or chili for spice so this matches with any recipe. I even dip salty tortilla chips in this as the perfect mini snack!

Sweet Tahini Dip & Greek Spiced Potatoes

This brunch spread hosts some of the most perfect flavor combinations- we have spicy roasted ‘Greek Style’ potatoes wedges, portabello mushrooms topped with a baked egg and this gorgeously creamy and sweet tahini dip. If you haven’t noticed, my new secret weapon in the pantry is pomegranate molasses. It is tart but still delicately sweet in flavor, and matches perfectly with the slightly bitterness of the tahini. The flavors and buttery texture of the dip add depth when combined with the crispy, savorous spiced potato wedges. The sweetness of the paprika, aromatic thyme and pungent oregano on the wedges are so moreish, I always make extra of these to save them for the next morning… but they never actually last a full 24 hours in the fridge! Proceed with caution!

Creamy & Dreamy smashed chickpea Dill Salad

Creamy, dreamy and oh so flavorful! This vegan chickpea salad is a ‘dill’icious plant based take on the old-school egg salad my Nanna used to use in her dainty tea time sandwiches. Perfect on a cracker, in a wrap, or by the spoonful this is a go to vegan salad that will impress any meat eater (tried and tested on my own meat-and-potato family!). Its also full of plant based protein from the chickpeas, and healthy fats from the vegan mayo making it my go-to for a quick powerhouse snack or meal before a day of hiking or work!
