Sweet potato and plantain tacos

Smoky, roasted sweet potatoes and sweet caramelised plantains are quite the winning combo in these savoury and sweet tacos. Paired with a punchy salsa and a cool cashew sour cream, every bite is filled with a range of flavours and moreish textures. Top your corn tortillas with all the fillings, and serve with fresh coriander and lime juice for extra zing.

And trust me when I say that the peanut butter sauce is truly something to behold. 

Vegan leek and sweet potato soup

This soup is essential during the colder months. With a few ingredients and half an hour (maybe less if, unlike me, you're quick at prepping) you can have this hug-in-a-bowl ready for you to tuck into. It's warming, creamy and somehow always seems to hit the spot.
