 The Beginners Guide to Eating Vegan Food – written by a non-vegan. Veganism is on the rise, particularly amongst younger people. Many people are turning to this way of eating as an ethical choice but an increasing number of us are making the switch for health reasons. But is a vegan diet healthy?
 Do you like a sweet or savoury breakfast? I love a good savoury brunch when I have time at the weekend but weekdays it’s usually oats, pancakes or a smoothie. This chia/compote/skyr combination will satisfy a sweet tooth but is packed with healthy fats and protein to help you stay full. If savoury is your thing to start the day then this also packs up well as part of a lunch and is more nourishing than reaching for the biscuit tin.
 We’re racing through January, already at the halfway point. Many of our New Year’s resolutions around food will have started to hit hurdles or have fallen by the wayside. Why? Because change can be hard. Because January is dark and damp and can be a bit miserable. Or maybe because we were really ambitious and tried to change everything at once. That’s where the idea of one new thing comes in.
 I’m a huge fan of aubergine - a quick skip through the blog archives will probably reveal a bias towards this versatile vegetable. Even so, braising aubergine was a new one to me. In this recipe you griddle the aubergine first which gives it heaps of flavour in it’s own right. Then you braise it in the sticky, tamari dressing which takes the flavours up a notch and also makes sure the aubergine is a beautifully soft, buttery texture. I ate a double portion of this as a light lunch but if you are after something more substantial you could serve up with brown rice and add in some tempeh (fermented soy) to up the protein whilst keeping it vegan friendly.
