Ethiopian food is amazing, if you ever get the opportunity to go to an Ethiopian restaurant, I highly recommend it. Heavily spiced lentils served with Injera (flatbreads) are what you can expect and they taste incredible, however, being able to track down the various spices elsewhere in the World though, can be really difficult, so … More Ethiopian Style Lentil Stew
If you eat a plant based diet, then you are probably used to making your own “Buddha bowls” and will more than likely have your own favourite ingredients for them. If you are like me, you will also have some sort of cashew sauce that you make to take it to the next level. For … More Cauliflower Cheese Sauce for Juddy Bowls
Thai Green Curries are one of life’s huge pleasures. If you are watching your macros, then because they are usually made with flavour in mind, the curries are not the best for an elite athlete like myself (ahem). With some simple tweaking though, we can turn this into a nutritional powerhouse that both tastes amazing … More Vegan Thai Green Curry (oil and gluten free)
An oil free and dairy free vegan pesto is something that most of us would have seriously laughed at before going vegan, but I PROMISE you, this is a great and very simple recipe that is loaded with nutrients.

Only no animals have to die to get there. I have chosen veg that works well with slow cooking. By making the … More Rice and Beans: Louisiana Red Beans and Rice
Eating a plant based diet is easy. Doing it correctly though, especially as someone who trains in a demanding sport such as MMA, football or marathon running, is really difficult. It need not be though, you just need to know that you are consuming the healthiest foods you possibly can, eliminating the ones you shouldn’t … More Macronutrient Guide For Vegan Athletes
It took me years to try my first vegan “meat loaf” and I think the only reason is, meat loaf is just never eaten in England, where I grew up. As much as I used to love meat, a whole loaf of it just never appealed to me (or my mum). The idea of a … More Tempeh and Lentil Vegan “Meat” Loaf
One of my favourite things to do as a plant based eater is to make modern, updated versions of “student staples”. One of the cheapest meals on the planet is a baked potato with baked beans. As a student back in London, I used to eat this 3 or 4 times a week! I wanted … More Baked Sweet Potato With Mexican Black Beans, Spinach, Guacamole And Vegan Sour Scream
I have made many many many many dals in my life (or dhal, daal, dahl, dal, dall – I have made many, but still have no idea what the correct way of spelling the thing is!) but have never included butternut pumpkin in them until recently. I can honestly say I will never make a … More R n B Episode 10: Butternut Pumpkin, Coconut And Lentil Dal (Dhal) (Daal) (Dahl)
