BOOKS
Feed Me Vegan By Lucy Watson by Rebecca Stratton
Next up is some quick, light bites – tofu ‘chicken’ noodle soup, pearl barley and vegetable soup, peanut tofu Buddha bowl (my favourite go to lunch!) and the most divine looking mushroom mac and cheese. The Feasts chapter is just that – full of stuff you could dish up to a crowd – amazing cheesy pizza, ultimate cheeseburger, mushroom risotto, chickpea tikka masala, black bean chilli, fajitas with corn salsa. The picture of the sweet potato and kale burritos makes my mouth water – I cannot wait to make them come summer when I am enjoying lunch in the garden.
Sweet treats (my favourite chapter) – Bounty style chocolate bars, mini blueberry cheesecakes, rocky road, gorgeous fudgy Oreo thickshake – none of these look like they are The Breakfast chapter starts with the lus- lacking dairy and really kick that ‘all we eat cious mango smoothie bowl made with co- is rabbit food’ theory out the window! conut, mango and bananas, then topped with fresh fruits, nuts and seeds. If that’s not Feed Me Cake – have you heard of a better your thing, there are banana and buckwheat incentive to turn to the next page! Chocolate pancakes, French toast, avocado toast (obvi- and raspberry brownies, banoffee pie, hot ously!) and even a fry up! I struggled a little cinnamon jam doughnuts ( Just WOW) and with vegan breakfast ideas in the past and cinnamon buns. I wouldn’t even dream that this just shows that you don’t have to miss some of this stuff can be made dairy free! out on the most important meal of the day. 62

PICTURE CREDITS: Lucy Watson Feed Me Vegan
I was thrilled when I found out that this was going to be our vegan and veggie issue. As a long time veggie and recent vegan I often review books with stuff I won’t eat in them, so this made a nice change for me! Recently (well, social media would have us believe) there seems to have been a huge rise in vegan restaurants, pop ups and new foods on the market. It’s great to see it all become more accessible and for people to see that it’s not all mung beans and rice, but there is some really exciting food to be had. Which brings me on to this great little book: I picked it up at the start of my vegan journey a few months back and it gave me so much inspiration. It wasn’t until months later I was told that Lucy Watson was from the show ‘Made in Chelsea’ – clearly I don’t watch enough TV!
