School Night Vegan is full of everyday plant-based, balanced dinners you’ll actually want to cook on a weeknight when energy in the tank is running low.
It’s for anyone who wants balanced, delicious dinners, but also to consume less meat in the week. There are dinners to feed a family and dinners when you need a satisfying meal just for you. There are dinners to stock in a freezer which will make Future You very happy indeed, super-speedy dinners that take less than 25 minutes to get on the table and even dinners for when you don’t want to turn on the hob at all.
Recipes include
Instant Pot Jackfruit Rendang
Portobello Steak Sandwich with Chimichurri
Garlic Butter Potatoes with Romesco Sauce
Roasted Carrot Rigatoni
Spicy Tahini Lime Noodles
and there’s a whole chapter dedicated to Richard’s Dinner Dial Ups: simple, flavour-packed condiments designed to instantly upgrade any meal, as well as a selection of quick and easy desserts perfect for rounding off any mid-week meal.
These are dinners to make when you’re too tired to cook and are about five seconds away from ordering a takeaway that you’ll regret. They’re perfect for school nights, but equally great for any night of the week – just simple plant-based recipes, with big flavours, balanced ingredients that you can find in the supermarket. So close that delivery app, step away from the takeaway menu and grab your apron!
