This brilliant vegan pizza recipe is from Sophie Gordon’s book The Whole Vegetable. The base is made with stone-ground wholemeal flour for a satisfying texture and subtle nutty flavour - and raised with baking powder instead of yeast, making it quick and easy to throw together. |
Sophie’s book shows how to cook more sustainably with as little food waste as possible. Embracing often-discarded parts of vegetables like the leaves, stalks, tops, flowers, seeds and even peelings, as well as reinventing leftovers and eating with the seasons.
Here'ss Sophie's ‘waste tip’ for this recipe:
“If you are feeling a little more adventurous, adding thinly sliced potatoes to pizza makes a really nice change, and given that many potato types are in their prime during the early summer months, you’ll have plenty to choose from. The dough will keep for a few days in the fridge if you don’t happen to use it all up: roll it into a ball and leave it covered in a bowl in the fridge. The same goes for the sauce. Of course, you are not tied to the vegetables above, and using whatever you have left over is a great way to make a pizza a little different and creative.”

This cake is pure comfort from a tin! Made with kibbled naked barley, it takes inspiration from the creamy warmth of porridge and transforms it into something richer, denser and custardy.

Caponata is a much-loved Sicilian dish of bold Mediterranean flavours, traditionally a rich, sweet-sour stew of aubergines, onions, tomatoes, capers and herbs. In this version, tender borlotti beans join the mix, adding extra substance, creamy texture and a satisfying protein boost, making it as perfect for a light main as it is for a side dish.

Lentils can sometimes blend into the background of a dish but these organic black lentils from France deserve to be the star of the show. This simple dish showcases their texture, colour and flavour.
