Peach? PEACH?! IN A CURRY??!!
That’s pretty much what I immediately thought when I first glanced at this recipe from the fantastic Bootstrap Cook, Jack Monroe. But then I considered that one of my favourite curries is a pathia, which is hot, sweet, and sour. So why not?
I used Jack’s recipe as the template and added a few […]

This is pretty much a slightly jazzed up leek and spud soup, the jazzing up coming from adding some white beans (butterbeans in this case but cannellini would be good too) and apples (liquid and solid). Quick, cheap, cidery. Everything a punk soup should be.
Serves 3-4.
- 2 tbs vegan marg or oil
- 1 leek (approx. 250g), trimmed, halved, and […]

I take no credit for having ‘invented’ this, but it’s so simple to do that it would be daft not to share. The acrylic sheets cost £3.50 from eBay (including the postage) and the bolts and wingnuts about the same from a local shop. It took a couple of minutes to put together and will save endless amounts of future faffing about with hand-squeezing, improvised weights and kitchen roll. Well worth the ‘effort’.
Ingredients:
2 x 6mm acrylic sheet, around A5 size (210x148mm) 4 x 8x100mm bolts with matching […]

Having finally got a fully functioning full-sized oven for the first time in years, I’ve returned to breadmaking and baking with a vengeance.
Making your own bread is pretty quick and pretty easy, and most of the actual time involved is spent waiting around (drinking tea, smoking, listening to punk rock, that kind of waiting around). I can knock up a loaf of bread in less time than it would take me to walk to the shops to buy one. And I can customise it to suit my particular fancy […]

Apparently, there’s some kind of event coming up that involves scoffing loads of roasted stuff. This is a simple but quite fancy sauce that should go nicely with that sort of thing. It’s quick enough to knock up when needed, as long as you’ve got an hour or two for it to cool before serving.
Makes about a large jam jar’s worth.
- 250g fresh cranberries, washed
- 100ml fresh orange juice (2-3 oranges)
- Grated zest of half an orange
- Grated zest of half a lemon
- 3 tbs port
- 150g sugar

The people behind the classic vegan punk cookbook ‘Soy, Not Oi!’* have got back together to produce a second part in honour of their friend and original SNO! contributor Joel, who sadly died earlier this year.
They’re looking for contributions to the new book – anecdotes about the original SNO!, stories about Joel, special features on vegan living, and original recipe contributions from anyone who’d like to send them one to test out.

Another quick, cheap and easy recipe for a nice lunch or as part of a hearty winter banquet.
Serves one as a lunch (well, it does if you’re like me and can happily devour a pint of soup) or two as a starter.

- 1/4 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped or crushed (optional)
- 1 medium potato (around 200g), diced into 1cm pieces
- A good large, loose handful of watercress, stalks and all, roughly chopped
- 500ml hot light stock / […]

Falafels have kept me alive and healthy when I’ve been visiting places where veganism is an almost unknown quantity. They’ve maintained me in a similar state even where veganism is well understood as they’re one of the cheapest ultra-healthy foodstuffs you can buy. A pitta stuffed with falafel and salad is pretty much everything you need to sustain full fighting and drinking strength.
They’re also dead easy to make at home with stuff that any self-respecting vegan should have in their cupboard, fridge and garden / windowsill. Once the mix […]

I’ve been using this recipe, with various twists, for more than twenty years, and it’s never let me down. I don’t claim any credit for its creation. That goes to Amanda Sweet, author of the long-out-of-print Vegan Health Plan. If you can find this book second-hand, grab it. I’d rate it as one of the best books on vegan nutrition out there, and the recipes generally make good on their promise to deliver tasty and wholesome vegan food. It may appear to be a bit wholefoodish, but the end product […]
