It's warming, creamy and somehow always seems to hit the spot.

This vegan chickpea ‘tuna’ sandwich is as flavourful, quick and easy as lunch can get. It’s extremely cupboard friendly and endlessly adaptable to what you might have on hand. No chickpeas? No problem, use cannellini or butter beans. All out of vegan mayo? Sub it for tahini (loosened with a little water), hummus or even vegan yoghurt. Feeling extra crazy? Leave out the top slice of bread and make it an open faced sandwich. 

Dal is everything we’re craving right now (and always) - it’s savoury, rich yet fresh, hearty, and nourishing. Whether you strip it back and serve it plain or have it with tarka (tempered spices) stirred through for extra flavour and texture, you’ll be warmed up from the inside out. 

This ‘chicken’ soup recipe was inspired by Coya, who told us “My roommates have been making chicken soups and the cold weather has me sippin’”. We hear you Coya, and we caught the cravings. If you need us we’ll be in our PJs sipping on this warming and cosy noodle soup. 

A rich homemade stock (rather than a stock cube) makes all the difference in achieving layers of flavour reminiscent of a classic chicken soup. If we hear you slurping, we’ll just go ahead and assume it’s your roommates stealing your soup from now on.

These crispy, crunchy, toasty tamari roasted cashews are the only thing to save us during a 4:30 afternoon slump.

These gluten-free, crunchy yet chewy, peanut butter granola bars are our saviours on busy mornings and afternoons. We add in dried cherries, cranberries and almonds for a pop of flavour, freshness and texture, but you can use any dried fruit and nut you have on hand, including (but not limited to) currants, raisins dates and apricots - the limit does not exist. 

This 15 minute just-sweet-enough, creamy and crunchy bowl of oats and stewed fruit is what your busy week needs. To save even more time in the morning, make a big batch of it on a Sunday and have breakfast ready in minutes all week long.

While this vegan soup tastes delicious on its own (think creamy, tangy, sweet and smokey), it's really all about the toppings here. Crispy homemade tortilla chips, smooth avocado, tangy yoghurt and pickled onions make for a party in every spoonful. I know it might sound too good to be true, but it also only takes around thirty minutes to pull together and is extremely adaptable to whatever you have in the cupboard.

Like take-out only better. This saucy, peanut-y and addicting vegan stir fry tastes rich but feels light, thanks to ginger, rice vinegar and spring onions which provide endless freshness and the perfect amount of acidity to every bite. You can sub the tofu for tempeh (or leave it out entirely) and you can use whatever type of noodle you have on hand, soba, ramen, rice - go wild!

This gingery, citrusy and flavour packed vegan stir fry takes just one pan and under thirty minutes to pull together. It relies on  (what may seem like far too much) ginger and spring onion to create a deep, flavourful, addicting pan sauce that thickens and coats every noodle as it cooks. Resist the urge to skimp on these two ingredients and you'll never look back. 

You can make this creamy, cheesy and healthy (yes, really) vegan cauliflower cheese with ingredients you probably already have in your cupboard.

Puddings don't get much better than this soft, gooey, saucy, impossible-to-put-down vegan sticky toffee pudding. This easy quick recipe makes eight individual puddings (but can easily be baked in one large tin for minimal work) and is served with a sticky toffee sauce, but you're welcome (and encouraged) to double top with your favourite ice cream, custard or cream - go wild.

This very creamy, very savoury and very mushroom-y vegan risotto is as perfect for chilly and cosy nights as it is for a hearty left-over lunches. Although not the most hands-off recipe, the twenty five or so minutes spent stirring are all for an excellent cause: a silky smooth bowl that will warm you up from the inside out. 

The super creamy yet cream-less pasta recipe relies on a humble head of cauliflower to make its velvety, smooth and comforting sauce. Best of all, it's quick (the whole dish can be on the table in under thirty minutes) and endlessly adaptable. If you don't have any peas, you can add sautéed kale, broccoli rabe or your favourite green. If you're not in the mood to make the breadcrumb topping, you can sub it for a sprinkle of vegan parmesan or fresh black pepper and a drizzle olive oil. 

This vegan tiffin is just as rich, fudgy and easy as the classic. Best of all, it requires no baking, very minimal work and can be adapted to what you have on hand. If you can't find cherries, feel free to sub them for raisins. If you don't have digestive biscuits on hand, use whichever plain biscuit you do have. 

This giant vegan chocolate chip cookie is what we all need right now. It's chewy, soft and crisp and best of all, it can (and should) be eaten straight out of the tin.

Life hack: make pumpkin puree from scratch and use it in everything, all autumn long. It has double the amount of flavour (and creaminess) than the tinned stuff. 

This vegan bourguignon follows the same method, tips and techniques as the original version. The result is a stew which is as rich, hearty and savoury as the classic and tastes like it's been slow cooking for hours on end. 

Nothing says love like homemade flaky pastry. This particular flaky pastry is filled with vegan custard and soft bursting sultanas. They're worth all the time, effort and rolling - I promise. 

It's not Autumn until the first pumpkin pie rolls out. This one has a rich, creamy and warming filling and a sweet and salty crumble crust. Best of all, the filling here comes together entirely in a blender, and the crust requires no chilling or rolling out. It's the pie we all need in our lives.
