Cranberry and Thyme Vegan Cheeseballs

This is the dish you bring for all the ‘I would go vegan but can’t give up cheese’ people. It’s a classic, chuck in the food processor and you’re done type recipe (our favourite), and as far as consuming large amounts of cheese goes, it’s a lot more nutritionally friendly! Cashew nuts, nutritional yeast, coconut oil, thyme, cranberries and you’re pretty much done! Head to it doesn’t taste like chicken for the full recipe.

Lentil loaf with balsamic onion gravy

This next one is another roast, also with lentils, but it’s Christmas right? And you can never have too many lentils!
