We’ve dramatically cut down on the meat consumption over the past few months but we can struggle for ideas. I was recently sent* a Vegan Box from Vegan Apron. There are 4 types of vegan recipe boxes that can be delivered weekly. The recipe boxes come with everything you need to make 3 meals including the recipes to follow. The ingredients are high quality, fresh produce and the packaging is biodegradable compostable wherever possible. Each recipe is packed individually so you can keep everything together in the fridge with the correct recipe card.
With my box, I was also sent Miguel Barclay’s Vegan One Pound Meals Book. The book contains over 85 vegan recipes including golden syrup broccoli noodles, mac and no cheese, sticky aubergine bao, black bean meatballs, vegan sausage rolls and my favourite, sweet potato katsu curry. This book is all about Miguel showing how accessible vegan food is and how to create delicious food with minimum fuss and maximum flavour. As the name of the book suggests, all the meals cost only £1 per portion!
I made Miguel’s Thai dauphinoise which were incredible. The recipe used potatoes, coconut milk, garlic, chilli, pak choi, green beans and pinenuts. I will definitely making these again and again, the recipe really shows that you don’t need cream, cows milk and cheese to make delicious dauphinoise.
I also made Miguel’s sweet corn fritters. These involved courgettes, sweet corn and chickpea flour. These went down very well and we had them with the Thai dauphinoise. Both recipes where really easy to follow and I enjoyed using the ingredients in different ways than I am used to.
I enjoyed the recipes that much, that I would like to treat one reader to Miguel Barclay’s vegan one pound meals book! If you would like the chance to win, enter below x

These recipes sound great! I’m trying to reduce the amount of meat I eat and have more vegetarian and vegan meals, but always stuck for ideas.

We’ve also massively cut down on meat in our house. This would be perfect for us to make sure the kids are getting a varied diet

id love to give these recipies a try
This book keeps cropping up lately, it looks really interesting, would love to win. I need some new inspiration.
I saw an interview on This Morning where a woman, who seemed to think a plant based diet was not a good thing, said she felt veganism was a fad for the middle classes, the liberal elite and for people with money. She said it could not be practical for single parents or lower income families…I hope this book will prove her wrong and that we ALWAYS have a choice we just need perhaps need to change the way we do things. I love that being vegan has saved me so much money (and I am definitely not middle class or wealthy!!)
That Thai dauphinoise looks delicious! These sound like just the sort of recipes I could do with adding to my repertoire
The meals look really good, would love to try some even though I’m not vegan
I’d love to try these recipes,they sound great.

This would be brilliant for my vegan student son
Great book and ideal for meal ideas
Oooh those sweetcorn fritters sound amazing, would love to try !
I’m always in need of more recipe inspiration
Nice prize. As food is a necessity. “Variety is the Spice of Life”. We are living in a time when cash is limited, we need to budget very carefully ( the majority of us. As there are the Rich and Super – Rich).
Eating meals together is also a social event :- Socialising can be beneficial to our Health and Wellbeing. Social isolation is said to be detrimental, maybe that is why it has been used as a form of punishment.
Health and Wellbeing are important aspects of life.
This looks really useful – in need of inspiration!
Different kind of giveaway.
Great book, some great inspirations and healthy food. Thank you.x
