Seitan is a labour of love which promises to deliver the wheaty meaty goods. It's known as a "mock-meat" and is made using instant gluten flour (vital wheat gluten) which is available from some specialist shops or online at The Flour Bin and Low Carb Megastore. Nutritional yeast flakes are available from health food stores or from Suma and Goodness Direct. 

Sprinkle over any savoury dish for a delicious, nutty taste.

Pour this thick, creamy sauce over steamed vegetables, baked potatoes, macaroni - or drizzle it over pizza or casseroles before or after baking.

If you’re after something hearty and filling, look no further.

This recipe is from The Great Vegan Bean Book.  It’s the beans that allow the crust to be oil-free, but it’s the cherries and basil that make them extra special.

Beans and sweet potatoes are bathed in rich coconut milk with a little heat from the jalapeno. The best part is being surprised with bursts of flavour from the ginger, lemony herbs, and fresh cilantro. All that - plus it’s easy enough to make after a hard day at work. Serve over rice for a complete meal.
