• Prepare the leeks:

  Wash the leeks thoroughly to ensure there is no sediment inside the green part.

  Preheat the oven to 250°C (or, if using a wood-fired oven, light a fire and wait until it reaches 250°C).
• Cook the leeks:

  Place the leeks, unpeeled, into the oven and cook until the outside is burnt all over. Turn them every 5-7 minutes to ensure an even char.

  The leeks should be black on the outside (don’t worry!) and soft inside, indicating they are cooked through.
• Make the salsa:

  While the leeks are cooking, prepare the salsa. Peel and finely dice the garlic, finely dice the red chilli, and chop the flat-leaf parsley.

  Add the garlic, chilli, parsley, miso, lemon juice, olive oil, and capers to a pestle and mortar or blender.

  Grind or blend until smooth but with a bit of texture remaining.
• Assemble the dish:

  Remove the leeks from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes so they are easier to handle. Once cool, peel off the burnt outer layer, revealing the soft green insides.

  Tear the leeks into long strips, resembling spaghetti, and divide them between two plates.

  Drizzle the salsa over the leeks, garnish with sauerkraut, and sprinkle the crushed walnuts on top.

  Serve and enjoy!

• Make the Picklese:

  Finely slice the cabbage or grate it. Finely slice/julienne the carrot, pepper, red onion, and garlic. Dice the chilli, leaving the seeds in if you want more heat. Mix with the salt, black pepper, cinnamon, clove, and lime juice.

  Transfer the mixture to a jar, cover with the vinegar of choice until fully submerged, and let it pickle while you prepare the other components.
• Prepare the Mushrooms:

  Heat a non-stick pan on high heat. Once hot, add 1 tsp oil and the mushrooms, ensuring they are well spread out.

  Compress the mushrooms using another clean pan to help evaporate moisture and concentrate the flavours.

  Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden.
• Glaze the Mushrooms:

  Add tamari and maple syrup to the pan and mix until the mushrooms are well coated.

  Turn off the heat and move the mushrooms around the pan to absorb the glaze evenly on both sides.
• Coat the Mushrooms:

  Place flour in one bowl, plant-based milk in a second bowl, and breadcrumbs mixed with 1 tsp of jerk seasoning and a pinch of salt in a third bowl.

  Coat the cooked mushrooms first in the flour, then dip in the milk, and finally coat with the breadcrumbs. Repeat for all mushrooms.

  Slice the apricots into approximately 8 slices per apricot and place them on top of the pistachios.
• Prepare the Puff Pastry:

  Slice the puff pastry sheet into 4 rectangles, each about 12 cm x 6 cm.

  Place these on top of the maple syrup, pistachio, and apricot layers, pressing down so the maple syrup coats the bottom side of the pastry.

  If any maple syrup seeps out, brush it on top of the pastry.
• Bake:

  Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes until the pastry is golden and crispy.
• Finish and Serve:

  Remove the tray from the oven and, using a palette knife, carefully lift each slice and flip it over so the apricot side is facing up.

  Dust with icing sugar using a sieve before serving.

• Prepare the Cabbage:

  Fill and boil the kettle.

  Cut the cabbage into 4 quarters, ensuring to keep the stalk on each piece so they hold their shape when cooked.

  Place the cabbage in a saucepan, add a generous pinch of salt, and cover with boiled water. For extra flavour, you can add 1 tsp pink peppercorns, 1 tbsp cumin seeds, and ½ tsp chilli flakes (all optional).

  Cover the pan with a lid and boil for about 10 minutes, until the cabbage is soft but still holding its shape.
• Make the Chimichurri Sauce:

  While the cabbage is cooking, prepare the chimichurri sauce. Peel and finely dice the garlic, finely chop the chilli (omit for less spice), and finely chop the parsley and coriander.

  Add everything to a bowl, along with a pinch of salt, the olive oil, and the red wine vinegar.

  Mix well and adjust the seasoning to taste. The sauce should be fresh, acidic, and well balanced.
• Char the Cabbage:

  Drain the cooked cabbage.

  Heat a frying pan over high heat, add 3 tbsp of oil, and wait until the oil is very hot.

  Add the cabbage quarters and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until charred and golden.

  Sprinkle with a pinch of coarse sea salt while cooking.

  Place in a glass or small bowl, add a pinch of salt, and cover with the apple cider vinegar (or vinegar of choice).

  Mix and leave to sit while you prepare the rest of the bowl.
• Prepare the pepper:

  Slice the red pepper into long strips. Heat a griddle pan or non-stick frying pan over high heat.

  Once hot, add the peppers with no oil and fry them on both sides until they start to char around the edges, about 5-7 minutes.

  Remove from heat and set aside.
• Cook the tofu:

  Slice the tofu into 4 pieces. Using the same hot pan, sear the tofu on both sides over high heat until it turns lightly golden brown.

  Mix the tamari, maple syrup, and vinegar together, then pour over the tofu. Move the tofu around in the pan to absorb the sauce. As the sauce cools, it will thicken and glaze the tofu.

  Remove from the pan and set aside.
• Toast the seeds:

  Keep the pan hot and add the mixed seeds.

  Stir regularly while cooking, and when the sesame seeds begin to pop (about 4-5 minutes), remove from heat.

  Remove the radishes from the vinegar and divide between the bowls.

  Sprinkle the toasted seeds on top. Serve with sourdough slices and enjoy!

For the chips:

• Preheat the airfryer to 200 degrees c
• Cut the potatoes into chip size (approx 1cm x 1cm x 8cm) , rinse them in cold water and leave them to soak for a minute or 2 and rinse again. This process will remove some of the starch and result in a crispier chip! Add to one side of the airfryer and add 1/3 tsp of salt and 5 sprays of oil and mix well.
• Put them on bake function on the airfryer for 25 mins at 200 degrees c. If using an instabrand vortex plus versazone airfryer, use the dual sync function so the chips and the tofu end at the same time. 

For the Tofu:

• Finely dice or rip up the seaweed, if using a sheet of nori finely dice using a knife and if using the likes of arame seaweed just finely dice with a knife or use a pestle and mortar, you want it to be a fine almost powder-like texture.
• Get 2 bowls, one for the beer and tamari mix, and one for the dry sea mix. Cut the tofu into long rectangle strips, approx 5cm x 10cm x 1cm

  In the first bowl mix the seaweed, flour, cornflour, salt and garlic powder. 

  In the second bowl mix together the beer and tamari/ soy sauce.
• Dip the tofu in the beer tamari mix, then into the dry sea mix, and repeat 3 times to give it a good coat that doesn't run.
• Carefully place in the airfryer and spray with an oil spray approx 5-10 times, this will give a more even golden colour, bake for 15 mins at 200 degrees c.
• Twice during the cooking process remove the tofu and coat in the tamari beer mixture and then the dry mixture and then the tamari beer mixture and put back in the airfryer to cook.

  This will ensure you get a good crusty batter. 
• Once cooked, remove and serve the battered “fish” and chips with some peas and a slice of lemon, enjoy!

• In the oven:

  Preheat the oven to 220°C (fan).

  Cut the aubergines in half lengthways, rub a little oil on the inside of the aubergines, and place them on a baking tray, flesh side down.

  Sprinkle with salt and cook for 40 minutes until the aubergines are charred, collapsed, and super soft.
• On an open flame:

  If you have a gas stove, you can cook the aubergines directly on an open flame, turning occasionally for approximately 15 minutes, until charred, collapsed, and super soft inside.
• Finishing:

  Allow the aubergines to cool for a few minutes until you can handle them.

  In a medium mixing bowl, scrape out the soft flesh from the aubergines (it should come away easily from the skin).

  Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more lemon, salt, or heat according to your preference.

• Method
• Preheat the oven to 160℃.
• Melt the coconut oil by putting in a small pot on a medium heat till melted (about 3 minutes).
• In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together – oat flakes, nuts, seeds, desiccated coconut with a tiny pinch of salt. Make sure to leave the dried fruit as they will be mixed at the very end once the granola is cool. If you prefer to eat your nuts raw, then leave them aside with your dried fruit, otherwise include them for a crunchier more flavourful nut.
• In a separate bowl/jug, mix the wet ingredients – the maple syrup and the oil together into a wet mix.
• Add the wet mix into the dry mix bowl and mix thoroughly so that each flake, nut and seed gets an even coating.
• Transfer the mix to the air fryer basket and spread it out evenly in a thin layer. (If it is not spread out evenly it will steam as well as bake and result in some soft and some crunchy bits in your granola).
• Put basket in air fryer and cook for 20 minutes in the preheated air fryer at 180C.
• While your granola is baking in the oven, get your dried fruit ready in a bowl. If you are using the dried mango you will need to cut it with a scissors/knife into bite size pieces.

• Prepare the Dough:

  In a large bowl, combine the lukewarm water and yeast, stirring until well mixed. Add the flour, sugar (if using), and salt.

  Carefully bring the mixture together in the bowl. Knead for about 10 minutes to develop gluten. The dough will start off sticky and wet but will come together after working it for 10 minutes, becoming similar to sticky chewing gum.

  Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer with the dough hook on medium speed for 6-8 minutes
• First Proofing:

  Grease a 1lb loaf tin with 1 tbsp of olive oil, then add the dough to the tin.

  Cover with a towel to retain moisture and leave the dough in a warm spot to proof until it doubles in size—this should take 1-2 hours, depending on the room temperature.

  If using an air fryer, you can proof the dough on the "reheat" setting at 49°C for 45 minutes until it doubles or even triples in size.
• Prepare the Toppings:

  Thinly slice the vegetables you're using as toppings.
• Top and Dimple the Dough:

  Once the dough has doubled in size, sprinkle the prepared vegetables over the dough, followed by 4 tbsp of olive oil and a generous pinch of salt.

  Coat your fingers with a little oil to prevent sticking, and begin to "play the focaccia piano" by dimpling the dough. The vegetables should press into the dough as you create thick indents.
• Second Proofing:

  Cover the dough with a towel and allow it to proof a second time until it doubles in size again.

  Alternatively, you can speed up the process by proofing in the air fryer on the "reheat" setting at 49°C for 20 minutes.
• Bake the Focaccia:

  Add a layer of lasagne sheets, breaking some to fit and ensuring no overlaps (overlapping sheets won't cook properly).

  Spread half of the tomato sauce evenly over the lasagne sheets.

  Add another layer of lasagne sheets on top of the tomato sauce.

  Spread half of the remaining cashew cream over the lasagne sheets.

  Add the rest of the tomato sauce and spread evenly.

  Add another layer of lasagne sheets.

  Finally, top with the remaining cashew cream.
• Cook the Lasagne

  Place the assembled lasagne in the air fryer and cook at 180°C for 20 minutes.
• Serve

  Once cooked, allow the lasagne to cool slightly. To cut the lasagne easily, use kitchen scissors.

  Serve and enjoy!

• Preheat the oven:

  Preheat your oven to 160°C (fan) / 180°C (conventional).
• Prepare the cake tin:

  Line a 9-inch springform tin with baking parchment.

  Slice the 3 bananas for the topping lengthwise and place them, cut side down, in the prepared tin.
• Make the caramel:

  In a wide saucepan, heat the 150g caster sugar over medium heat. Add the 2 tbsp water and stir just once. From this point, avoid stirring and simply swirl the saucepan occasionally. Allow the sugar to melt and turn golden, forming a smooth caramel.

  Stir towards the end if necessary to achieve a smooth consistency.

  Remove from heat before the caramel turns too dark, as it can quickly burn. Pour the caramel evenly over the bananas in the tin and leave to cool.
• Prepare the flax egg:

  In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseeds with 6 tbsp water. Leave to sit for 5 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken and coagulate.
• Prepare the cake batter:

  In a large bowl, combine the self-raising flour, ground cinnamon, and chopped walnuts.

  In a blender, combine the 3 peeled bananas, sunflower oil, maple syrup, and the flax egg mixture. Blend until smooth.

  If you don't have a blender, mash the bananas in a separate bowl and whisk together with the oil, syrup, and flax egg until well mixed.

  Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until you achieve a smooth batter. Fold in the chocolate chips.
• Assemble the cake:

  Pour the cake batter over the caramel-coated bananas in the tin, spreading it evenly.
• Bake the cake:

  Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
• Flip the cake:

  Once baked, run a palette knife around the edges of the tin to loosen the cake.

  Place a flat plate or board on top of the tin, then carefully flip the cake so that the caramelised bananas are on top. If any bananas stick to the tin, gently scrape them off and arrange them back on the cake.
• Cool and serve:

  Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing.

  Serve and enjoy!

• Char the aubergines:

  Using tongs, cook the aubergines over a gas flame for 5-10 minutes until they are charred and cooked through to the centre. A fork should easily pierce the aubergines when they are ready. The centre should be soft and break down effortlessly.

  Alternatively if you don’t have a gas flame, cut the aubergines in half and place them face down on a baking tray. Sprinkle with a generous pinch of salt and bake at 200°C for about 30 minutes until they are soft enough to be easily scooped out or torn apart.
• Prepare the vegetables:

  Peel and dice the onion and garlic. Finely dice the carrot into 1/2 cm cubes. Using a fork, shred the oyster mushrooms to give them a distinct, pulled texture.

  Be careful not to scrape your fingers when doing this.
• Cook the vegetables:

  Heat a non-stick pan over high heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil. Once hot, add the onion, carrot, and a pinch of salt.

  Cook for 3-4 minutes, then add the mushrooms and garlic.

  Cook for another 4-5 minutes until the onions and mushrooms start to brown at the edges.
• Flavour the sauce:

  Add the tamari and mix it through, allowing the mushrooms to absorb the flavour.

  Next, add the tomato passata, tomato purée, and maple syrup. Stir well and taste the sauce.

  Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to your liking.
• Chop the aubergine:

  Once the aubergines are done, chop them into small pieces and stir them into the sauce.
• Cook the pasta:

  Follow the instructions on the packet to cook the tagliatelle.

  Once done, drain and rinse the pasta, then add it to the sauce.
• Finish and serve:

  Finely chop the basil and sprinkle it over the top.

  Mix everything together, double-check the seasoning, and enjoy!

• Prep the veg: Grate the carrot and red cabbage or if your knife skills are good finely slice the cabbage into long thin stips and julienne the carrot into small matchstick size cuts.. Finely slice the red pepper (removing the seeds and stalk) and slice the sugar snap peas lengthwise so you open them up into thin long strips.
• Toast seeds: Toast the sesame and sunflower seeds in a dry pan over high heat for about 5 minutes, until they turn slightly brown and start to pop
• Put salad veg in a bowl: Combine the cabbage, carrot, peppers, sugar snap peas, sprouted beans, and baby spinach in a large salad bowl.
• Blend the dressing: For the dressing, blend together all ingredients for the dressing in a blender or food processor until nice and smooth and the garlic and ginger and fully blended.
• Dress, mix & serve: Add the dressing to the salad and mix until well coated. Sprinkle toasted seeds on top and enjoy!

• Prepare the mushrooms:

  Tear the oyster mushrooms into pieces that can be spread wide when pressed.

  Place them in a bowl, add the seasoning (sumac, turmeric, smoked paprika, chilli powder, black pepper, tamari, maple syrup, and oil), and mix well.
• Cook the mushrooms:

  Heat a wide non-stick frying pan on high heat and add 1 tbsp of oil. Once hot, spread the mushrooms in a single layer, ensuring there’s enough space for them to char.

  Using another clean pan, press the mushrooms for about 20 seconds to maximise charring and remove excess moisture for a meatier texture.

  Cook for 1-2 minutes, turn, and press again until the mushrooms are charred and cooked through.

  Remove from the pan and roughly chop.
• Make the salad:

  Finely dice the cucumber, coriander, and cherry tomatoes.

  Mix them in a bowl with a pinch of salt. Set aside.
• Prepare the tahini sauce:

  Peel and finely dice the garlic.

  In a bowl, combine the tahini, yoghurt, lemon juice, garlic, and a pinch of salt.

  Mix until the sauce emulsifies into a thick cream. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
• Assemble the shawarma:

  Spread a generous layer of the tahini sauce over each flatbread.

  Add the coriander, tomato, and cucumber salad, followed by the charred mushrooms.

  Top with pickled red onions and enjoy!

• Make the Slaw:

  Finely slice the cabbages, grate the carrot, and dice the fresh coriander.

  In a separate bowl, mix together the vegan mayonnaise, chilli powder, and kimchi juice until well combined.

  Add the mayo mixture to the cabbage, carrot, and coriander. Mix well to form your kimchi slaw.
• Char the Pineapple:

  Carefully remove the skin from the pineapple, slice into two 1 cm thick slices, and remove the core.

  Heat a non-stick pan and char the pineapple on both sides for 30-40 seconds until evenly browned. Set aside.
• Prepare the Tofu:

  Slice the tofu into 1 cm thick pieces, slightly larger than the burger buns.

  Heat a non-stick pan on high and add 1 tbsp of oil.

  While the pan is heating, finely chop the garlic, ginger, and red chilli.

  Mix all the teriyaki sauce ingredients in a small bowl.

  Fry the tofu slices for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden. Add 2 tbsp of the teriyaki sauce to the pan and coat the tofu slices thoroughly.

  Remove from the pan and set aside. Clean the pan.
• Coat the Tofu:

  In a shallow dish, coat the cooked tofu in white flour or cornflour, ensuring an even layer.

  Dip each piece of tofu into the remaining teriyaki sauce, then roll in sesame seeds to fully coat.
• Fry the Coated Tofu:

  Reheat the pan on high heat with 1 tbsp of oil.

  Fry the coated tofu for 1 minute on each side until the sesame seeds start to turn golden and pop.

  Add the remaining teriyaki sauce to the pan, and let it reduce for about 1 minute. Add the tofu back in, spooning the sauce over to stick to the sesame crust.
• Assemble the Burger:

  Toast the burger buns.

  Spread a generous dollop of pesto or vegan mayo on the bottom bun.

  Add the charred pineapple, followed by the sticky sesame tofu.

  Drizzle any remaining teriyaki sauce over the tofu.

  Top with the kimchi slaw and close with the top bun. Enjoy!

• Preheat the oven:

  Set the oven to 170°C (fan). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
• Prepare the flax egg:

  Mix the ground flax seeds with 3 tbsp of water and set aside for about 5 minutes to thicken.
• Melt the vegan butter:

  Melt the vegan block butter over low heat.

  Once melted, remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
• Mix dry ingredients:

  In a large bowl, sift the self-raising flour, caster sugar, and brown sugar together.
• Combine wet ingredients:

  In a separate bowl, mix the melted butter, oat milk, and the thickened flax egg.
• Form the cookie dough:

  Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent developing too much gluten.

  Stir in 80 g of the chocolate chips, reserving 20 g for decoration.
• Chill the dough:

  Cover the cookie dough and refrigerate for 30 minutes or freeze for 10 minutes to firm it up slightly.
• Shape the cookies:

  Remove the dough from the fridge or freezer.

  Scoop heaped tablespoons (about 45 g per cookie) and roll them into balls. Arrange them on the prepared baking tray, leaving space between each cookie to allow for spreading (around 5 cookies per tray).

  Gently press each cookie down with the palm of your hand.
• Decorate and bake:

  Press the remaining 20 g of chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies.

  Bake in the preheated oven for 6 minutes.
• Create the perfect texture:

  After 6 minutes, remove the tray from the oven and drop it carefully onto the counter to create a 'bang' that will flatten the cookies slightly.

  Return to the oven and bake for a further 6-8 minutes, or until golden.
• Finish and serve:

  Remove from the oven and sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie.

  Allow the cookies to cool before enjoying (if you can resist!).
