Notes about Recipes in this book

• My morning smoothie: spinach and almond butter

  • crandall57 on January 28, 2025

    I used frozen strawberries for the berries and the smoothie was delicious. I doubled it for two people and added one tablespoon of pea protein powder.

• Spicy turmeric hummus

  • WandaA on July 15, 2020

    Very good hummus recipe! I used fresh cooked chickpeas and had to add a little more water. The recipe makes a lot of hummus so I halved it. Still plenty enough. Love how easy it comes together and how flavourfulit is. My go to recipe for hummus was one with roasted sweet potato in it which takes more time and prep. This one from Ella might take over this top spot! Also love the little spicy kick from the chili in it. Absolutely recommended!

• Miso and sesame brown rice

  • erin3107 on February 18, 2023

    pretty good

• Carrot, beetroot and sesame salad

  • WandaA on July 15, 2020

    Such an easy and quick recipe to toss up a delicous and healthy salad. I used precooked natural beetroot for this and peeled carrots. Just throw them in the foodprocessor to grate and add some vinegar, sesame seeds and maple syrup and you are done. I had a wonderful lunch accompanied with the spicy turmeric hummus.

• Simple cucumber and tomato salad

  • erin3107 on February 18, 2023

    very nice and simple. I added avocado which was really good

• Pad Thai

  • Margret on January 31, 2023

    Stir fried the vegetables.

• Winter kale salad

  • Stantonjulie on December 26, 2020

    1/4 of the quantity is sufficient as a side for 2

• Mushroom-stuffed peppers

  • erin3107 on February 18, 2023

    very yummy. have made this a few times

• The best baked sweet potato

  • ksambogna on July 02, 2019

    Substituted almond butter for the tahini

  • CourtneyT on May 10, 2024

    Very easy. I dry fried the mushrooms and then added the garlic and coriander. The vegetable topping works well but if I make again I will tweak the dressing as we found the lime juice quite overpowering.

• Warming pesto butter beans

  • Futuregirl23 on November 23, 2022

    Simple but really tasty. Pesto from a jar works for a really quick meal.

• Buddha bowl

  • erin3107 on February 18, 2023

    yummy!

• Chickpea, quinoa and turmeric curry

  • redjanet on January 04, 2018

    A very good, hearty curry for those cold winter nights. It could possibly do with some more herbs or onions added in, but still satisfying without. That said, I may make it with reduced-fat coconut milk next time to keep the calories down.

• Veggie paella

  • redjanet on February 04, 2018

    This was delicious and full of flavour. Neither my husband or I missed the presence of chicken or chorizo or any other meat products. The author suggested adding boiled potatoes to the dish for extra heartiness, but we both found it quite hearty enough. I had enough leftovers for three days' worth of lunch, which I am looking forward to.

• Mushroom risotto with basil cream

  • erin3107 on September 19, 2022

    this didn't turn out great, I thought there were too many dried herbs so the texture wasn't great. The basil cream had way too much oil as well

• Creamy carbonara

  • erin3107 on September 19, 2022

    this was okay but nothing special. Was nothing like a carbonara though so not sure why they called it that

• Spicy lentil and aubergine pasta

  • redjanet on February 01, 2018

    Very good, healthy vegan pasta recipe. This involves some chopping up to prep but then is one of those recipes you can leave simmering on the hob for an hour while you do other things. This yielded quite a lot and reheated well for lunch over the next couple of days.

  • Hellyloves2cook on February 27, 2018

    Easy prep. Throw all in one pot to make the sauce. Cook pasta. Really is as easy as ABC. We liked this as a family. Not anything fancy but a good hearty warming meal nevertheless and when you feel like not doing too much this is ideal as it cooks itself once the ingredients are in. Leaving you free to relax!
