Meat Me Halfway: Final Week

31st Mar 2020Leave a comment

Just to be clear, my plant-based journey has not come to an end, in fact I’ll hopefully keep it up forever, but it is time to end this series, and I’ll be honest, I’m not ending it on the best note.

Forgive my lack of commitment this time round, but what with everything going on right now, lockdown, money concerns etc., ensuring that every single one of my meals was 100% vegan hasn’t been a priority.

Having said that, I did still make and order some fab food, which I’ll detail below before ending with some highlights and top tips that you can carry forward into your own journey to realising the potential of plant-based food.

I’ll start with two amazing pasta dishes, the first being @elavegan’s red pepper pasta, with a cashew based sauce, and Rachel Ama’s sun dried tomato pesto pasta. Both of these were super easy to make, although a food processor or some kind of blender type thing is required. If you’re going plant-based or trying to eat more of it, I would definitely recommend getting one anyway as you’ll get so much use out of it.

The red pepper pasta was incredibly creamy, with quite a thick sauce, the red pepper giving it a lovely, soft, sweetness.

The flavour of the sun dried tomato pesto was much stronger – fresh basil, balsamic vinegar and sun dried tomatoes end up being quite a pungent combination, but a delicious one nonetheless.

A couple of soups were also on the cards as per. Sometimes I find soups incredibly satisfying, warm and hearty, and others just miss the mark. The first – Nadiya’s lentil and orange soup fell under the latter category. Obviously I love her recipes, but I struggle with orange-based savoury recipes, particularly in something liquidy like a soup.

The second soup was my own recipe – harissa and carrot. Whilst it tasted decent with a strong kick of heat, I’m not sure I loved it enough to make again, although undoubtedly if I’d added a load of cream I’m sure it would’ve ticked more boxes…

Drinks now! BBCgoodfood have a pretty good recipe for a chai latte, although plant-based milk is one of the things I’m finding it more difficult to get hold of at this time. Normally soy milk is my go-to but I’ve had to switch to almond milk as that’s all that’s been available. Even so, this frothy, warmly-spiced latte was a perfect morning pick-me-up when breakfast isn’t really my thing.

Dreamy indulgence from Doughnut Time is next on the list. They genuinely do the best vegan doughnuts, which are no different in taste to their normal range. I’d frozen their Vegan Fox doughnut last month as it was part of their Valentine’s range but I’d eaten so much I couldn’t justify trying this one too, so rather than miss it, I shoved it in the freezer ready for a rainy day. Cue lockdown and I’d never been so grateful for this level of resourcefulness. It’s not recommended that you freeze these doughnuts but that won’t stop me. After defrosting and 20 seconds or so in the microwave, I had the most delicious, soft-doughed, melty-buttercreamed chocolate doughnut. The fudge buttercream is incredible and I really hope they give a vegan chocolate doughnut like this one a permanent spot on their menu. Failing that, the David Hasselbiscoff is one of the best doughnuts of all time.

Trust me to be taking complete advantage of the fact that many small food businesses have upped their delivery range due to the current situation, meaning that I’ve been able to get my hands on both Picky Wops’ vegan pizzas and indulgent subs from Jake’s Vegan Steaks.

After a few teething issues on the delivery front, I received my bbq chick’n pizza and a cashew-based tiramisu. The pizza was really tasty – the chick’n pieces had a nice texture, the dough was light and fluffy and the ratio of toppings to dough was spot on. It wasn’t the best vegan cheese I’ve had – was more like a thick Béchamel style sauce, but not unpleasant. Admittedly I wasn’t a fan of the tiramisu. The cashew-based mousse/sauce/cream/whatever you want to call it didn’t have much flavour, and I got one hint of coffee from my second to last bite. That’s it. But would defo order pizza from them again in the future.

Jake’s Vegan Steaks was my other treat, after I fell in love with their subs at Vegan Nights event last year. Although I’d become obsessed with the super spicy version of their Philly Cheezesteak, I wanted to try something new so ordered the Pepperoni Pizza Steak, along with bbq chick’n fries. The pepperoni sub was decent, although they’d been pretty heavy handed with the oregano. Ultimately, I wouldn’t order it again over the Philly Cheezesteak. The fries were great; really well seasoned with tasty cheesy bbq sauce and chick’n pieces.

And that’s pretty much all I have to share this time round – as it’s supposed to be a week’s worth of meals that’ll give you an idea of how many times I cheated, but like I said, we are in exceptional circumstances.

Before signing off on this series, I wanted to finish with some highlights, mostly in London, from some fantastic businesses that deserve your support.

Redemption, Covent Garden

A lovely little restaurant/café with takeaway treats and drinks, Redemption backs on to Neal’s Yard with indoor and outdoor seating. It’s beautiful inside and the food is just as attractive. My top recommendation is the raw Banoffee Pie, pictured below.

Itsu, Everywhere

Less luxurious, Itsu is perfect for healthy veggie lunches. Sushi doesn’t have to be raw fish, and their veggie gyozas and maki rolls are some of the best.

Club Mexicana, KERB Seven Dials

Club Mexicana served up one of the best burritos I’ve had. The cheezeburger burrito genuinely tastes like a cheeseburger – god knows how, but it’s filling, cheesy and uses a great beef mince substitute.

Temple of Seitan, Camden and Hackney

Who ever thought that vegan wings would be a thing. Temple of Seitan, as the name suggests, serves up a load of fast food using the chicken substitute Seitan, and these wings had the most convincing texture. With a delicious bbq glaze, these are high on my list of recommendations.

Humble Dough, Boxpark Shoreditch

One of my favourite sweet treats now, Humble Dough serve up little pots of vegan cookie dough with various toppings. I tried the peanut butter and jam pot, which was delicious, and despite looking like a tiny portion, was the perfect amount for not becoming sickly.

And last but not least – what have I learnt during the last 7 months or so of on-off plant-based eating? It’s been a really interesting little experiment – one that is no longer an experiment and is now just a routinely part of my diet, but here are some things I want you to know…

Don’t listen to how you should feel

I still get frustrated with vegan propaganda telling you that on a plant-based diet, you’ll feel so much lighter and will have way more energy. That’s great if that happens to you, but I have experienced no such thing, and some weeks I’ve even felt awful – heavy and bloated from excess veg, beans and pulses. That’s not to put you off. I just want people to be aware that even if you don’t see the benefits that other people are claiming, this doesn’t mean that it’s not worth the changes. Don’t expect to feel a certain way, and don’t worry if you don’t. Everyone’s body reacts differently to what they put into it, and you won’t necessarily feel like a goddess overnight…

Learn to love key ingredients

There are some amazing ingredients that you should really get to grips with if you want to reduce your meat/dairy intake. If you love cooking then cashews are a really big one, as most creamy plant-based sauces use softened cashews. Beans and pulses are another saviour – chickpeas in particular can become super versatile, not only eating them as they are in curries and stews, but also turning them into a spicy scrambled egg substitute or forming them into falafel or burger-like patties. Aubergine and cauliflower should be your veggie best friends – there are an abundance of vegan recipes using these two ingredients in so many ways online, and finally… tofu. It’s a controversial one, but I honestly believe anyone can enjoy it if it’s cooked to their taste. The main danger is with it being bland, so for a genius solution, follow Rachel Ama’s recipe for chive tofu spread, which is amazing on toast.

Get to know easy replacement hacks

Plant-based milk is obviously a major one – try a few different brands and ingredients and work out which is the one for you – almond, soy, coconut? Pancakes and waffles can easily be made without eggs, just stick to flour, sugar, milk, baking powder and flavouring, and egg replacements in baking can be produced from flax seeds and even aquafaba (liquid in chickpea cans).

Don’t be too strict on yourself

If you’re not cutting out meat and dairy for ethical reasons, I don’t see the need to be super strict on yourself. Just reducing your intake is a great thing to do, so if you’re craving a Dominos pizza or a family-sized bar of Cadbury’s Dairy Milk, there’s no shame in that. You don’t have to change your diet to prove anything to anyone and so there’s no harm in just going entirely plant-based part-time – even if that’s verrry part-time, as in a few days a month.

Look to the experts for inspiration

There are so many vegan blogs, youtube channels and Instagram accounts out there now, not to mention a growing range of excellent cookbooks. Explore, and get to know your favourites, as each of these cooks and bloggers comes with their own style. My favourites include Rachel Ama for vegan meals that think outside the box, Mrs Hollingsworth for amazing baking, snacks and desserts and elavegan for simple recipes using readily available ingredients. Avant Garde Vegan and Fearne Cotton are also worth looking to for ideas.

And that’s it for the time being. I’ll still be sharing my vegan week successes on my Instagram account every month (@foodtravelsldn), but this is the end of the series.

Of course there’ll be new series’ on the way, including my Around the World in 80 Plates, part 2 of which will be coming next week.

But can you guess where I’ll be heading, and what I’ll be making….?

Meat Me Halfway: Week 6

23rd Feb 20201 Comment

It’s been an odd one this week. I love having a week of plant-based food to look forward to, but genuinely, this week I’ve felt so bloated and heavy, and that in turn has really negatively affected my mood. That’s part of the reason I was so frustrated by the Game Changers documentary – the idea that eating a 100% plant-based diet makes you suddenly feel amazing just isn’t true for everyone.

This week I’ve possibly eaten more vegetables than I ever have done before, and long term I’m sure my body will thank me, but it’s still been a struggle to feel good about myself when my stomach is literally ballooning as a result.

Despite that, I’ve still followed some decent recipes and eaten some good food, so here’s week 6’s lowdown…

First up is an exciting one. My favourite thing about selling old junk and clothes on eBay is that whatever money I make ends up collecting in my PayPal account which I use purely to spend on myself, working my way through my personal wishlist. A couple of weeks ago I used some of this cash to buy myself a Vonshef waffle maker, and although it was cheap (£22 I think), the results so far have been great. I tested it out on Rachel Ama’s Spiced Chickpea Waffles with Hummus and Tomatoes and although I wish I’d cooked the waffles for slightly longer, it worked perfectly and was so easy to use. I was most surprised about how clean it was – after removing the waffles there was absolutely no residue on the machine; it looked as if it hadn’t even been used. The waffles themselves had a hint of spice with a lovely seeded crunch, and the smooth, thick hummus made for a filling topping. I’d definitely recommend trying to make your own waffles as it’s so much more satisfying than store-bought, and you can make them vegan!

As I mentioned, I felt so heavy on more than one day this week, and so I changed up my food plan quite a bit. One evening after work, instead of cooking up a hearty main meal, I decided my body couldn’t handle it, and instead made Rachel Ama’s porridge. Topped with banana, blueberries and granola, there was enough to it to make it a nutritious dinner, and actually I could easily eat porridge 3 meals a day – it’s all in the toppings. Add enough sweetness and crunch and it’ll taste and feel amazing.

My lunches this week felt super healthy. Recipe-wise, it did end up being a bit of a Rachel Ama fest, and the main component to my lunch boxes was her Loaded Breakfast Burrito. This wrap is filled with spicy scrambled chickpeas with red pepper, a tomato and onion salsa, and spinach. I particularly loved the extra flavour that dry toasting the wrap on the hob added.

To make sure my lunches were really filling and therefore I didn’t feel the urge to snack, I also made her Butternut Squash and Beetroot Salad on the side. This is packed with loads of ingredients, including lentils, pomegranate seeds and rocket as well. I wasn’t such a huge fan of this dish on the whole, but I have to admit it was filling. I probably would make it again minus the lentils. The beetroot and butternut squash were enough in themselves and provided all the flavour and substance that I needed.

Next up is a simple recipe of my own. I used to hate cauliflower but now I’ve found so many ways to cook it so that I love it. Curried cauliflower is one of the best, and I made the most of some curry spices I had leftover from Guadeloupe, along with coconut milk for extra creaminess. I served it with brown rice, which I’m really starting to enjoy, and will definitely try opting for brown instead of white rice as much as possible now.

A highlight to my week has to be the fact that I received at least £50 worth of free sushi from Itsu due to my job. Lots of it was vegan and so avocado and green bean maki rolls, edamame beans and sticky rice have been a key feature on my menu this week. Honestly, their avocado rolls are delicious and I’m really not even a fan of avocado.

My eating out this week has been slightly less extravagant than normal. I’m starting to find that my 4-course-plus crazy indulgent, once-a-week new restaurant experiences aren’t as easy as they once were as my metabolism is slowing and my bank account emptying. Having said that, I did still manage to find room to try out a couple of new places.

First up is Egyptian street food café Koshari Street. I first heard about the dish Koshari in a Lonely Planet: World’s Best Street Food guide, and followed a recipe in there to make it at home. It was very straightforward, with a base of lentils, macaroni and shredded noodles and topped with chickpeas, crispy onions and tomato sauce. I wanted to compare the ‘real thing’ with my homemade attempt and actually, I think I did a pretty good job. I opted for their Classic version, and found the sauce rich, with the dish full of veggie protein. It’s great to see less-talked-about cuisine such as Egyptian breaking out on to the London food scene, and I’ll be starting a new blog series soon on some really interesting global dishes, Koshari being one of them, so stay tuned for more cultural background info.

Saving the best for last, during the lunch break of the travel writing workshop that I attended on Saturday, I finally made it to Redemption Bar in Covent Garden. It had been the sight of their toasted banana bread with coconut cream on Instagram that had captured my interest, but I didn’t end up ordering it, instead going with their Banoffee Pie. That was after my light and healthy main dish of Sweet Potato Hummus Toast, which came on a seeded bread with edamame beans and red pepper. It looked beautiful, with its vibrant colours popping from the plate but don’t expect too much magic. It is exactly what it sounds like – toast with hummus. There’s not much more to it flavour-wise, but that doesn’t stop it from being a great dish. The dessert was the star of the show though. The base of the pie was quite stodgy and difficult to cut into, but actually, in my mouth it didn’t feel stodgy at all. It had a lovely sweetness from the dates, and the coconut cream on top was light and fluffy. The cacao nib topping finished it off perfectly with a bitter crunch. Redemption is a really classy place that I’d definitely recommend trying, particularly for brunch, whether you’re vegan or not.

That’s all for this month’s vegan menu. The novelty of trying new plant-based dishes both at home and out in London honestly isn’t wearing off, and yes, it’s true that my body doesn’t actually feel better for it, but I do trust that the long term benefits of eating slightly less meat and dairy are aplenty.

Do check out Redemption if you’re in London, and for easy lunchbox prep, the Loaded Breakfast Burritos are the ones to try this time round. Easy to whip up the individual elements on a Sunday afternoon, and then assemble each morning, this recipe will please everyone, from the kids, to the boyfriend, to the best friend.

I’ve decided that this will be my penultimate Meat Me Halfway post. Although I’d planned it to be a year-long series, having arrived at this halfway point, I feel that I’ve covered enough bases, from the best plant-based recipes to ingredients, to restaurants and cafés, to justify bring it to a close. This will also allow me to focus on a load of other ideas that I have for new series’, so expect an overall round up in next month’s edition, with a reflection on how the whole process has been for me.

See you next month then for the final instalment of plant-based goodness!

Meat Me Halfway: Week 5

26th Jan 2020Leave a comment

Controversial documentaries, tofu breakthroughs and gross pasta have all featured in part 5 of my vegan week diary, but overall I have to say, it’s been a tasty one. There’s been a lot more of the home cooking than eating out, and most have been deliciously successful.

Before I go into the food itself, let’s stop for a minute to talk about Netflix’s The Game Changers, which has got a lot of people talking recently. The documentary focuses on a UFC fighter addressing the prospect of going completely vegan, and looking at other athletes who have done so, and the consequences on their bodies, from the ‘world’s strongest man’, to college footballers in the US.

The research done is entirely in favour of 100% plant-based eating, and so you want to know what my thoughts are? It’s a load of preachy bullshit 🙂 🙂

I’m all for science and research, but as someone who is happy to embrace plant-based eating, I just couldn’t deal with the pushy ‘evidence’ insisting that it’s as straight forward as converting to a plant-based diet, and you’re suddenly bursting with energy and performing athletically at the top of your game. These one-sided diet A is better than diet B arguments are just such nonsense. The reality is that our bodies, as individuals, react differently to different diets, and so it is impossible to say that we would all be more ‘physically successful’ by only eating plants. Of course they’re only going to show the studies that prove their points (including a ridiculous one about how men’s sexual performance was enhanced after having eaten literally just one plant-based meal…). The whole programme was just masculinity-targeted propaganda, and whilst I understand that there are gender-stereotyping issues linking masculinity and the reluctance to cut down on meat, I just found the documentary very unconvincing. There was even a point where they made a group of people undergo a plant-based diet for a week, and at the end of it they all came back saying how they felt amazing and had so much more energy than usual…

Well maybe they did. But guess who else eats plant-based for an entire week every single month and feels absolutely no difference whatsoever??? ME.

This is almost starting to sound like I’m against plant-based diets. I’m not at all. I’m all for reducing our meat and dairy intake for a range of reasons and I actually really look forward to these meat-free weeks and the exciting meals they bring, but I’m more for balance, and feeding myself things that I enjoy. What I’m not a fan of is this overrated documentary.

If you want to read any more on it, Paul Kita’s piece in Men’s Health basically covers all the issues I have with it in a more articulate and scientific way.

But feel free to have a watch yourself, and who knows, maybe it’ll convert you.

I did always want this ‘diary’ to incorporate plant-based related issues, as well as the actual mealtime side of things, but that’s enough for this week, time to get to the good stuff. What did I actually eat??

Monday

I’m really excited by this first one, the reason being, it’s yet another successfully satisfying tofu-based meal. Rachel Ama makes a spread out of tofu, cashews and chives, and I had this on seeded bread, topped with griddled aubergines. The combination actually worked so well, and the recipe gave enough of the spread to have on my toast for multiple breakfasts in the morning. On the side of that I made Nadiya’s Hasselback Butternut Squash with Burnt Garlic Rice. The squash was delicious and had slightly caramelised in places whilst in the oven.

Surprise, surprise I was also back on Mrs Hollingsworths’ energy balls. Like I’ve mentioned before, these are the perfect snack to take to work and are so quick to make, basically just blending everything together in the food processor. The first lot are cocoa raisin oat balls. Weirdly, I love the stodginess of these types of snack, and even tastier than the cocoa ones were the lemon meringue balls. Honestly, these tasted insane, I can’t believe how much flavour there was in there, and these ones were cashew-based rather than oat-based. When you start cooking plant-based, it’s crazy how much you can do with cashew nuts. They will become your best friends, for both sweet and savoury meals.

Tuesday

Next up is actually one of my own recipes. I’ve been trying out developing recipes recently, rather than always stealing other people’s and this one was pretty good. Along with cashews, another ingredient that works a treat is oyster mushrooms. They have a fantastic texture that makes them perfect meat substitutes, without having an overwhelming flavour. Here I fried them in a jerk sauce and then baked them after to get rid of excess moisture. I used them to top coconut quinoa and black eyed beans (I’d defo use rice next time as the quinoa texturally wasn’t as strong), and then added a row of delicious fried plantain. Roll it all up in a tortilla and you have a delicious vegan burrito.

Wednesday

So Wednesday was my indulgent eating out day, and I finally got round to trying ByChloe. ByChloe is entirely plant-based, and they have restaurants in the US as well. It has a very informal fast-food style to it, and I got all my food to takeaway. I’d heard lots of good things about the Pesto Meatball Sub, which obviously isn’t actually meat, but uses mushrooms to create the meatballs. They are massively convincing and taste great along with the pesto. The roasted red peppers on top finish the whole thing off beautifully.

They also do two different pastas – a Cashew Mac ‘n’ Cheese, and an Avocado Pesto Pasta, so of course I had to try both. The Mac ‘n’ Cheese I was really impressed with. It was creamy and slightly spicy and the mushroom and crumb topping added extra flavour and texture. But… then we come to the avocado pasta. I gotta be honest, I hated it. I’m sure this is probably partly because I’m not the biggest avocado fan, but I do eat it. It just was way too bland as a pasta sauce though, and there were random heavily-salted patches. It’s very rare that I don’t finish something because I don’t like it, but it does happen from time to time…

Finally I had one of their London menu specials, which was the Sticky Toffee Pudding with Coconut Cream. This dessert was really good. I was sceptical about how the dessert would travel, as it didn’t seem like the kind of thing that would be good to take away, but I did it, and it tasted delicious. It was syrupy and sweet, with a super-moist spongy texture and a lovely coconutty cream, which added an extra dimension of flavour.

There’s plenty more I could’ve tried, but my stomach ain’t gonna stretch that far, so overall it’s definitely somewhere that I’d recommend, whether you’re eating in or ordering to takeaway, or via UberEats.

Thursday

Another one of my own again now! Trying my best to use up all the food in my fridge and freezer before I buy more, and so that led me to whipping up this Parsnip, Walnut and Honey Risotto. If anything, I’d go heavier on the walnuts and honey next time as it was really good with a nice creamy texture, and delicious parsnip flavour, but extra sweetness would make it even better.

Along with my energy balls, for work lunches I ran with the burrito theme and cooked up some Mexican-spiced rice to pad the tortillas out with. Using my food processor, I made a paste from various chillies, chipotles en adobo, tomatillos, onion and a load of spices, and then stirred this into the cooked brown rice. I often find that I’m not taking big enough lunches with me to work and so I end up wanting to snack, but this burrito was a big improvement on that because they’re actually really filling (I guess that’s double carbs for you…).

Getting off the tube at King’s Cross before work, I found myself directly opposite the Crosstown Doughnuts stall in the square. I didn’t need one and I definitely couldn’t justify the money, but yes, I did accidentally still do it. I bought two but only one was vegan so that’s the only one I’ve actually tried yet. To be fair, it was something that had been on my radar for a long time, ever since I’d seen that one of their seasonal specials was the Winter Crumble doughnut. Thoughts? Delicious crunchy crumble topping – I loved that. The actual apple crumble filling I initially thought was way too spiced; a very adult, sophisticated flavour, but this grew on me as I worked my way through it. I’m still not a big fan of their signature sourdough dough though, as it’s just too bready for me.

Right next to their stall was Amala Chai, serving up their incredible smelling hot drinks. The cardamom smell was so intense, I couldn’t not get an oat milk Masala Chai – the first I’d had since I got back from India last summer. To be honest it’s so difficult to live up to the dessert-like Chai you get in shot size paper cups in the street there. I like a properly milky, creamy, super sweet cinnamony chai, and whilst this one for most experienced tea drinkers was probably delicious, for me, someone who has never made a cup of tea at home or work, it just wasn’t the same.

Friday

A fantastic meal next up, and one to add to my ever-growing list of successful soup recipes that I’ve followed. Ainsley’s Caribbean Kitchen is probably my favourite cookbook as I’ve said before, and this was another winner. Spinach, Chickpea and Sweet Potato soup, with a side of Rachel Ama’s Caribbean Dumplings. The dumplings were crispy on the outside, and soft and doughy in the middle – perfect for dunking into the soup.

Friday night saw me devour an impulse giant bowl of porridge, after my plans kept changing and I needed something quick and comforting. To be honest it wasn’t actually that good, and I think this is in part down to my reluctance to add sugar to my porridge or extra syrup because god knows I eat way too much sugar anyway. Pecans, maple syrup and peanut butter sounds beautiful, and it was satisfying, but yeah, sweeter would’ve been better.

Saturday

Rachel Ama’s making another appearance here with her Roast Veg on Giant Cous Cous. The aubergines, tomatoes and courgettes smelt delicious as they were cooking, and the meal was surprisingly filling. This is a really healthy one for when you want to counteract a slightly less healthy evening.

Sunday

Aaaand the final one of this week. Ainsley and his soups. Or chowders. What actually is the definition of a chowder because I really don’t know? This is a spicy lentil, sweetcorn and butternut squash ‘chowder’ and it was so good. So I know creamy refers to a texture, and this chowder wasn’t that creamy, but the coconut milk gave it a creamy taste, if that’s even possible. I’m sure some of you will understand. I toasted some tortilla strips as well to dip in and ended up being very full by the time I’d finished it, so never fall into that old trap of thinking soup isn’t filling. It really ain’t just water.

Madness to think that my next post in the series will be halfway through (6 of 12!) – half a year of vegan weeks. That has gone scarily quickly, but yet again I have more treats in store for you (and by that I actually mean myself) as I will be heading to The Vurger Co, praying that I can still get my hands on their vegan Philly Cheezesteak sandwich, but only time will tell.

Also have plans to check out Yard Sale’s amazing-looking new vegan pizza menu, however that one will depend on how my body and purse are feeling. Gotta always be changing up my food plans based on if I feel too heavy or in the mood for a treat, and that’s the best way to work it. Listen to your body and adjust your meals accordingly. Not easy for someone who loves a solid plan, but there you go.

Breaking my meat fast with a bacon naan from Dishoom tomorrow morning. You will undoubtedly find images of it within 24 hours on my in-need-of-love Instagram account @foodtravelsldn.

Ciao for now.
