Wicked Kitchen No Beef Wellington with roasted veg and sweet potato
By McDonald, T.  |  Date 2nd of Jan 2021

Wicked Kitchen Wicked Wellington does make for a great centrepiece for your Sunday roast.  This is a well crafted mock meat rolled in light flaky pastry that will impress even the most hardened meat fans.  Great for festivals like Christmas, New Year, Rosh Hashanah, Easter or even just as a Sunday Lunch. 

Severs 3-4

Ingredients

  • Wicked Wellington.
  • Roasted veg,
    • Sweet potato with the skin on.
    • Carrots.
    • Parsnips.
    • Courgettes.
  • Boiled veg,
    • Kale.
    • Cabbage.
    • Brussels sprouts.
  • Nutritional yeast with B12.
  • Vegan gravy granules. 
  • Knob of vegan butter. 
  • Olive oil.
  • Balsamic vinegar 

Method

Since you don't have to really make anything, this is really easy! The roasted veg will take about 15-20 minutes on each side.  I add the knob of vegan butter to the top of the parsnips and drizzle a little balsamic vinegar on the courgettes.  Since there is a larger verity of veg in this roast dinner, you will not need large amounts of any particular veg.   About 30g of each type of veg per person is enough; however, you will need more potato, so I suggest about 130g per person of sweet potato.  The nutritional yeast goes in the gravy for that extra taste and nutrition.

Using sweet potato gives more vitamin A, which is good for the skin and roughage (fibre), which is good for preventing constipation among other things. According to the NHS (2018): 

'There is strong evidence that eating plenty of fibre (commonly referred to as roughage) is associated with a lower risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and bowel cancer. '

Furthermore, that great assortment of vegetables will give plenty of other vitamins such as vitamins C and K.  When it comes to the vegan butter, choose the unsalted variety since your food will provide you with enough salt, as you know, too much salt is not good for your blood pressure.

Written by  McDonald, T.    |  Updated 24th of March 2024 Yorkshire puddings are a tasty part of Sunday dinner in the UK not to mention Christmas and Easter.  With this in mind, a vegan alternative is required to satisfy the patriots dinner plate.  I looked for a long time and tried many different recipes, but in the end I had to alter the best basic vegan recipe to make it perfect.

Viking Skause

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 12th of December 2022 Abstract  Skause is a Viking stew, which contained, boiled meat, vegetables and Mead , an alcoholic drink made from fermented honey and included spices (What Viking Diets Were Really Like, 2021).  I wanted to make something vegan that a meat eater would think of trying.  Being as meat eaters, especially men, see themselves as being a little on the wild side, I needed something that would appeal to the old world fun vibe.  So, when I was looking through old recipes for inspiration, the Viking food immediately jumped out at me.  Bearing in mind I need to appeal to both vegans and especially non-vegans, the mock meat had to be good.  Unfortunately, the mock meat I intended to use, Naked strips, was not available, so I had to improvise.  This resulted in the idea to add three different types of mock meat to the dish.  I struggled to find suitable mock meats at such short notice. ...

The Price of Ignorance

By T. McDonald . | Date 1st of November 2019 | Updated on 15th April 2021 Ever woke up and thought, ‘Is this it?’ Have you ever been plagued with the idea that something is wrong with the world or your life; something you can’t quite put your finger on? If you have seen the matrix, you may be aware of the famous quote about having a splinter in the mind. Something in life is wrong and that thing is the price of ignorance. Something in life is wrong.  The fictional character Morpheus from the movie The Matrix (1999) explains: ‘ …there is something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it is there like a splinter in your mind… ’ So, what is it that is troubling people so much that it comes out in modern media and common sayings?  To answer that question, we must first look at what we are. We are animals. Animals need to find resources by which to sustain themselves and humans are no different. Notably, many people also have pets ranging from dogs and...
