Crispy, caramelised Brussels sprouts meet smoky, umami-rich chestnut mushrooms in a golden hash that's as satisfying on a weeknight as it is on a weekend brunch table. A squeeze of lemon at the end lifts every savoury note and keeps the colours vivid. Serve it alongside a glass of dry Riesling for a pairing that sings.

Deep, glossy and intensely savoury, this plant-based gravy is built on a double hit of cremini and dried porcini mushrooms that give it a rich, meaty depth you'll want to pour over everything. It clings beautifully to mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables or a Sunday nut roast, and it's good enough to make all year round — not just for the holidays. Pour a glass of dry Pinot Noir alongside and you're set.

Deep, savoury and steaming hot, this Japanese-inspired rice is threaded with tender shiitake, king oyster and shimeji mushrooms, then crowned with golden-seared chestnut mushrooms and a shower of fresh herbs.

It pairs beautifully with a chilled glass of dry sparkling water or a light Japanese lager.

Deep garnet and glossy, this slow-braised red cabbage is heady with red wine, warm spice and the sharp sweetness of tart apples — a classic German side dish that fills the kitchen with an irresistible, wintry fragrance. A spoonful of redcurrant jelly stirred in at the end gives it a jewel-bright finish and beautiful balance of sweet and sour. It is the perfect partner to roast celeriac or lentil dumplings, and holds up wonderfully alongside a glass of Spätburgunder.

Golden, savoury bites packed with smoky roasted red pepper and tender kale, these muffin-tin cups have a satisfyingly eggy flavour from kala namak and a richness from nutritional yeast.

A fresh green smoothie alongside makes them a brilliant start to the day.

A fully plant-based take on the beloved Mexican taquería classic, alambre de res. Meaty oyster and portobello mushrooms stand in for beef, marinated in a bold blend of lime, orange juice, soy sauce, and dark beer for deep, savoury flavour. Smoked coconut bacon delivers that irresistible crispy, smoky bite, whilst melted vegan Oaxaca-style cheese (or vegan Manchego) brings everything together into a gloriously gooey, sizzling tray. Pile it all into warm corn or flour tortillas and serve straight from the pan. Perfect for casual weeknight dinners or scaled up for a crowd — simply prepare the tray the day before and finish it on the barbecue grill or in the oven at 190 °C (375 °F) for 15 minutes, topping with vegan cheese for the last 5 minutes until molten and bubbling.

A vibrant, fully plant-based take on the classic Mexican salpicón de res — traditionally a chilled shredded beef salad served on crispy tostadas. Here, tender rehydrated soy curls (or shredded king oyster mushrooms) stand in brilliantly for the meat, soaking up a tangy oregano-vinegar dressing spiked with a touch of nutritional yeast for savoury depth. Tossed with crisp romaine, juicy tomato, peppery radishes, briny green olives, and sweet onion rings, this refreshing salad is assembled at the table — guests simply pile the chilled filling onto crunchy corn tostadas and top with creamy avocado and pickled jalapeños. Because everything is served at room temperature or straight from the fridge, it is the ideal make-ahead dish for outdoor parties and summer buffets.

These golden, shatteringly crisp taquitos dorados are a completely plant-based take on the beloved Mexican street-food classic. Thin corn tortillas are tightly rolled around a smoky, well-seasoned filling of shredded jackfruit and hearty black beans, then fried until deeply golden and irresistibly crunchy. Perfect party finger food — roll and fry the day before, refrigerate, then blast in a hot oven or reheat on a barbecue grill rack just before serving. Lay them out buffet-style alongside bowls of cool cashew soured cream, vibrant fresh salsa, crisp shredded cabbage, creamy avocado slices, and crumbled salted pressed tofu for a stunning, crowd-pleasing spread that is 100% animal-free from filling to garnish.

Golden and shatteringly crisp on the outside, fluffy and earthy within, these waffles press whole waxy potatoes against a nutritional-yeast crust while shiitake and oyster mushrooms bring deep, savoury punch to every bite.

Smoky, flame-kissed pulled jackfruit fajita bites made entirely on the BBQ — no oven, no hob, no indoor steps needed. Young green jackfruit stands in brilliantly for beef: dried well after rinsing so it chars and crisps at the edges rather than steaming. Pepper and onion strips go straight onto the grill grates for that essential fajita char, tortillas warm on the grill in seconds, and everything is finished with fresh lime and creamy avocado. Sized for a party — makes 24 one-or-two-bite hors d'oeuvres that guests can grab with one hand while mingling.
