Wine Legs Dec 2019 5:30pm, 28 Dec 2019 5,134 posts	0 Wine Legs Oh actually, I have some smoked salt too. That might be good to try.
Bob! Dec 2019 7:59pm, 28 Dec 2019 3,035 posts	0 Bob! Cheers guys, loads of good recommendations. Joopsy, certainly intend to continue cooking from scratch rather than resorting to processed foods. Will get to a Bookshop and give Bosh a look
Lizzie W Dec 2019 8:04pm, 28 Dec 2019 21,865 posts	0 Lizzie W I've made the nut roast like Purps for tomorrow (with mulled wine and cranberry sauce instead of juice/jam). Jack Monroe has just published Vegan(ish) - the recipes are vegan but she doesn't expect all the people who use it to be.
Joopsy Dec 2019 9:20pm, 28 Dec 2019 9,853 posts	0 Joopsy The bosh mushroom Wellington is easy to make and is really nice. I do t do alcohol so use cider vinegar instead of wine.
Captain Malcolm Reynolds Dec 2019 10:33pm, 28 Dec 2019 808 posts	0 Captain Malcolm Reynolds Got one Bosh book, it’s got some lovely recipes, but it’s not my favourite. I like the 2 Dirty Vegan books (Matt Pritchard used to be in Dirty Sanchez, completed a deca Ironman this year), he’s got a second TV series of vegan cookery programs coming out early January on BBC. Though they may only be BBC Wales. The Thug Kitchen books are quite good too. They’re American so all the measures are in cups and other weirdness.
RunnyBunny Dec 2019 10:42pm, 28 Dec 2019 1,000 posts	0 RunnyBunny I have Vegan(ish) - lots of ideas for 'simulating' meat dishes, although Jack sort of gives up on bacon (implies that thin smoked aubergine strips work, but that would make the pretendy carbonara excessively complicated with lots of ingredients, so it's compromised a bit to keep it more simple). Lots of jackfruit. Haven't made anything from it yet, but that's partly because I'm not sure where to start. All looks good Made Aine Carlin's cashew cheese today (soak cashews, blitz with balsamic vinegar, herbs, salt and pepper - I added nutritional yeast too). Am Veganuarying with the intention of keeping going beyond that (I'm a lapsed vegan, and it's much easier now than it was then, so no excuse really).
Joopsy Dec 2019 10:50pm, 28 Dec 2019 9,855 posts	0 Joopsy Not a fan of jackfruit, seems to be the new falafel where it’s the only thing people can think of that is vegan. Widely used as a substitute for pulled pork but I really don’t like the taste of it.
Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) Dec 2019 8:32am, 29 Dec 2019 29,376 posts	0 Mrs Jigs (Luverlylegs) I have never tried jackfruit, been put of it ages ago by the description Joopsy has just given.
Velociraptor Dec 2019 8:46am, 29 Dec 2019 44,493 posts	0 Velociraptor Jackfruit is nutritionally pointless but marketed for its texture and presumably can be sourced cheaply and sold at a premium. My daughter and I had a jackfruit product as part of Christmas dinner. Looked like stuffing balls, tasted unpleasant, texture of squash balls.
Joopsy Dec 2019 8:54am, 29 Dec 2019 9,858 posts	0 Joopsy There are loads of recipes on the internet too without buying a book. I did this for lunch last week and it was really nice, I just out some grilled vine toms and mushrooms on the side as well. olivemagazine.com
