Notes about this book

    Cauliflower Mac 'n' Jack with crispy caper bites: this was a bit of a disappointment. I wholeheartedly endorse mixing roasted cauliflower with mac n cheese. However, this particular recipe came out far too salty for my taste and seemed to use every pan in my kitchen. If trying again I would salt the roasted cauliflower and then not add any to sauce until after tasting. I did not use the optional Jack Daniels, maybe that would make a difference to the flavour balance? I also actively disliked the crispy caper bites, when normally I love capers. If making again, I think I would try frying them without the flour coating. I seem to remember Gaz Oakley's cauliflower cheese sauce being more straightforward to make - this roux seemed to take forever and the milk boiled over twice whilst I was distracted by children. Dish needs to be served with greens for contrast imo. My kids thought this was ok (apart from capers) but nobody loved it.

Everyone will love these vegan ideas devised for Christmas. The clever plant-based recipes are designed to be crowd-pleasing and properly festive and as well as being meat-free and dairy-free, the recipes boast seasonal produce and sensational flavour.

As the festive party season gets underway serve seasonal small plates such as Chestnut & Porcini Cream Mille-Feuille and Rainbow Chard Tartlets. For a cosy pre-Christmas supper, look to Saffron Ravioli with Heart of Palm & Chilli or Deep Dijon Pie. And on Christmas day make a stunning centrepiece for everyone to share by embracing the mock vegan meat trend. Try a carvable Smoky Stuffed Roast with Pine Nut, Lemon & Herb Stuffing accompanied by Marmite & Olive Roasties and Piglets in Rafts. Follow with Snowball Trifle with Lime & Lemonade ‘Egg Nog’ or Stollen Bread & Butter Pudding with Cardamom Custard. Come Boxing Day, it’s time to love your leftovers – dine on Bubble & Squeak Parathas or simply slice up any remaining Festive Stuffing and roast it for the perfect leftover sarnie. And to see in the New Year vegan-style keep it simple with one-pot make-ahead Roasted Aubergine & Puy Lentil Lasagne or Faux Fish Pie with Herby Mash so that you are free to enjoy the celebrations!
