My family love macaroni cheese. Tonight I served with a simple salad and french dressing. The vegan, plant-based version follows the same recipe. It’s nice with added Kale or cauliflower mixed through the sauce (If you chop it into small pieces there’s no need to cook it first) or topped with tomatoes and ‘fakeon’ bits.

@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 🌱
