Notes about Recipes in this book

• Creamy white bean and mushroom orzo risotto

  • redjanet on January 08, 2026

    Nice and creamy, though just a little bit bland. I'm glad I added nutritional yeast as suggested.

  • eeeve on April 12, 2026

    Okay for a midweek meal. Also found it a bit bland. Used macaroni pasta (no orzo in) and couple cubes of frozen spinach. Looked nothing like the picture!

• Fajita-style tofu traybake with garlic yogurt

  • eeeve on April 30, 2026

    Nice! Added some sliced red cabbage and had with alliolli. Simple, quick, perfect mid week dinner.

• Ginger and tahini noodles with tofu and edamame

  • louise_mxmygw on May 19, 2026

    A middle-of-the-road recipe for me. I needed to add more soy sauce but adequate enough for a mid-week simple dinner using up bits and “store cupboard” ingredients.

• Miso-roasted cabbage with lima beans and red onion

  • redjanet on February 20, 2026

    I loved the flavour of the sauce, which made the slightly crispy cabbage really scrumptious. The beans came out slightly dry, but overall it was a dish worth making.

• Satay-style eggplant stew

  • eeeve on March 18, 2026

    We enjoyed this a lot, the peanut sauce is really delicious and moreish. Quick and easy too.

• Tortelloni and bean broth

  • emma_74ndi1 on March 29, 2026

    Adore this recipe, made it twice now with different types of tortellini (plant + meat). It’s so good, so easy to make and full of goodness

• Spicy lima bean sandwich

  • eeeve on June 03, 2026

    Didn’t like this one so much, the flavour was somehow off. Too acidic? Don’t think the coconut yoghurt I used worked. 4 tbsp of yoghurt was too much, made everything too creamy, more like a hummus than filling for a sandwich. Won’t repeat.

• Miso and tahini quinoa salad

  • eeeve on April 20, 2026

    This was good. Very customisable. Liked the dressing. Used peas instead of edamame.

• Creamy miso and mushroom broth with noodles

  • Boffcat on February 21, 2026

    This was good, but the noodles struggled to cook in the sauce - when re-making it I've cooked the noodles separately before stirring them through the mushrooms and sauce. (And added much less water to the sauce.)

• Lemony pea and shallot orzo

  • louise_mxmygw on May 23, 2026

    Simple but surprisingly tasty. Didn’t have asparagus but used a mix of spring greens, kale and shaved broccoli stalk pieces instead.

• Chunky black bean soup

  • louise_mxmygw on April 29, 2026

    Very flavoursome

• Fancy lima beans on toast

  • eeeve on March 17, 2026

    This was definitely a quick win! Perfect as an easy mid week meal. The lemon zest and juice are really fresh additions and worked perfectly with the Swiss chard I’d added. Also used canned chopped tomatoes in place of the passata.

• Creamy pistachio and broccoli pasta

  • belljaf on January 08, 2026

    Very quick to come together. Used the broccoli stems too

• Stir-fried harissa tofu with broccoli and rice

  • eeeve on March 20, 2026

    This was also pretty good (and quick, low effort). Made with noodles (one of the suggestions), but think rice would have worked better. Would make again.

• Chunky chickpea and lentil soup with tahini and tomatoes

  • eeeve on March 23, 2026

    I like this soup, the tahini gives it some lovely creaminess. Mine looks nothing like picture though! Would make again.

• Pea and chickpea pancakes with harissa yogurt

  • eeeve on March 19, 2026

    First dud from this book for me. The taste was nice but the pancakes didn’t cook through, not on medium heat, not on high heat, not after frying for aaaaaages, not after baking in oven post frying… Took a long time and ended up with a disappointed 9yo. Not a repeat for me!

• Pulled miso eggplant ragu

  • eeeve on May 15, 2026

    This was good! Not too difficult or messy. Liked the pulled aubergines, though they should have been roasted even longer (note for next time). Used canned chopped tomatoes instead of passata

• Plant-point granola

  • Hellyloves2cook on December 23, 2025

    This was the first recipe I made form this cookbook.Easy and quick to make up. I used my commercial dehydrator at 50c for 14 hours ( rather than my oven) and it turned out very well indeed. It has a nice crunch and has crips clumps which I like. This granola is very tasty. I doubled up the recipe to give as gifts for Xmas. Will make again.

  • adelina on January 14, 2026

    Came out really great! I used a full sheet pan to make sure there is room for the large batch. I baked closer to 30 minutes.

  • willow_vqskrl on May 29, 2026

    We make this most weeks. It’s a lovely recipe that’s quick and easy to make.
