“Fish” & Chips with tartare sauce & mushy peas
When my “veganized” version of this British classic went viral on YouTube, lots of people found my channel from this video! It’s a great treat and will fool any of your non-vegan friends. Making your own creamy mayonnaise is really easy. The taste will leave you wondering why mayonnaise was ever made with eggs! I strongly recommend using a hand […]
Tofu katsu burger
This is everything I love inside a burger – the crispy tofu is incredible! Huge crunches when you eat this. You don’t have to deep-fry the tofu; baking works just as well. Keep it gluten free by swapping the breadcrumbs, flour and bun for gluten free alternatives. Recipe excerpted with kind permission from the newly released Vegan 100 […]

New York-style baked coconut & vanilla “cheesecake”
Here’s another dessert I was thrilled about when I managed to veganize it – baked cheesecake was my favourite dessert before going vegan.

Recipe excerpted with kind permission from the newly released Vegan 100 by Gaz Oakley (Quadrille, £20) Photography […]
