In hot weather like this, Korean cuisine really seems to understand the assignment because there is an absolutely wonderful dish called kong-guksu

And if I’m being honest, I often find that a lot plant-based salads feel like side dishes... but not this one, this one is a full meal. It’s got it all.

I’ve just had my birthday and ate a lot of good food last week. However, this is firmly up there as one of my faves and will absolutely be on repeat.

Have you ever tried farinata? This savoury Italian pancake from Liguria is made from chickpea flour

This pasta comes together in about 20 minutes and makes a comforting midweek dinner.

They clock in at roughly 20g of protein per portion, which is pretty great for such a speedy noodle dish.

I actually made this for some friends once and they couldn’t believe what the sauce was made from because it’s just that good.

So what’s the (big) difference? This version is made completely from plants, high in fibre, and packs around 40g of protein per portion.
