A dish that I used to love, but haven’t had often since I have stopped eating cheese. I had forgotten how good this was, leeks are delicious! #seasonalcooking #leeks #vegan

Tips

Homemade Breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs are the perfect way to use up bread that is just past it’s best. Day old sourdough may not be perfect for sandwiches, but it’s just right for crumbing! I add these to Gazpacho, nut loaf, homemade plant sausage and burgers but these ones are destined for my infamous homemade sage and onion stuffing! I’m making extra to fulfil requests! 😊#zerowaste

@rachel_madewithplantsI love to cook vegan, seasonal, plant-based dishes. For me, cooking is fun and I particularly love a challenge! I’ve always loved to cook, but it wasn’t until I became vegan that I became really excited about creating recipes. I realised that the old cooking ‘rules’ were not rules at all and you can be as creative and imaginative with food as you like; I’m a true veg lover and I’m known for trying to ‘veganise’ anything and everything 🌱
