Even Mo Farah doesn’t feel bothered to run some days. Here are on getting yourself out of the door when you really don’t feel like it. Just go for 10 minutes. Chances are, you’ll get in to it while you’re out, and stay out for longer. If not, at least you got some fresh air…
Vegan Lentil Soup with Marmite Drizzle
Marmite haters, look away now. This Vegan Lentil Soup with Marmite Drizzle is emphatically not for you. In the olden days it would have been no use to readers outside of the UK either. But – joy of joys, miracle of miracles, all hail the internet – you can now buy Marmite online and have it…
Sun Dried Tomato Antipasto
Want to make something delicious for yourself or friends without too much fuss? Time to try this fantastic antipasto. It’s a great way of using sun dried tomatoes and roasted peppers for use days, weeks or even months later. It’s pretty tasty though so your jars of this stuff probably won’t last that long. It…
Carrot and Sweet Potato ‘Fries’ with Spicy Peanut Sauce
Chips, fries, call them what you will. All fries are not created equal. This Carrot and Sweet Potato ‘Fries’ with Spicy Peanut Sauce recipe takes all of the good bits of traditional fries – the starchy veg, the crunch, seasoning – and makes them ten times better for you without sacrifice. There’s no frying, and the…
Curried Split Pea and Roasted Red Pepper Soup
Split peas are one of those dry goods that can hang around in your store cupboard for years, unused and unloved. Which is a shame because you can make some amazingly tasty recipes with them. I mentioned the bag of split peas lurking in my pantry before when I wrote up our Spicy Thai Bean…
Vegan Dark Chocolate Truffles
The ancient Aztecs believed that avocados had aphrodisiac qualities and the rumours have stuck. In fact, the link between avocados and libido was seen to be so strong that in the 1920s, avocado farmers actually sought to discredit the theory, trying to make their produce seem more wholesome. Whatever the truth, you’ll feel super sexy…
Valentine’s Macarons
Everybody is impressed by homemade macarons. Take them as an after dinner treat for your hosts, and people will think that you are some kind of chef wizard. I show these pictures to more people than I would like to admit, waiting for their gasps – “But aren’t they impossible at home?” Macarons do seem…
Quinoa and Halloumi Patties
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again – quinoa is the food of the gods. Possibly quite literally. It’s native to South America, they ate it at Machu Pichu and there was lots of godly stuff going on there. What further evidence do we need, really? (Please note: that is not a deep…
Coconut and Ginger Energy Bars
We Veggie Runners have wanted to create an energy bar for ages. We experimented a bit with savoury versions but couldn’t quite get the mix right. We could get not quite savoury, like peanut butter ones and the like. There are loads of them around though so they didn’t seem quite worth the effort. We also…
Huevos Rancheros
A protein-rich brunch is the perfect treat for after a long Sunday run. When Mum and I lived in Victoria, Canada, we took fantastic brunch for granted. We’d nip down to Lady Marmalade, Pagliacci’s or Rebar any time we fancied*. We didn’t know how spoiled we were! While there is some brunching in the UK, it’s not…
Crystallised Ginger
I made this for Mama Veggie Runners’ birthday (her birthday is on New Year’s Eve – best day ever for a birthday?). I wanted to make something that came from the heart, was super delicious and that she could use in other cooking. There are two great by-products from the process, too. In the first…
Warm Lentil, Lime and Avocado Salad
I got a gorgeous cookbook recently, Vegetarian Dishes from the Middle East by an absolutely fascinating man called Arto Der Haroutunian. The author wasn’t widely known; he died in 1987, missing the wave of cookery programmes and celebrity chefs that we’re subject to these days. This is a shame, as there are some wonderful recipes in the…
