Farmer's Pea Pie
Inspired by classic British Shepherd's Pie but using split green peas in place of traditional lamb mince, this Farmer's Pea Pie from the Cook & Him makes an equally comforting and satisfying vegan alternative. A splash of soy sauce and a dash of our umami paste give a wonderful depth of flavour. It's deliciously topped off with a rich yeasty root veg mash.
Wrinkled Pea Masala
Inspired by Felicity Cloake's Perfect Chana Masala, this simple but satisfying recipe substitutes whole wrinkled peas for the usual chana or chickpeas. It's delicious with either (or just about any whole pulse) but the especially high resistant starch content of wrinkled peas provides more nourishment for your gut flora.
Lentil Ragu
Super simple to make and incredibly versatile, this ragu is the perfect alternative to minced meat and can be used in shepherd's pie, lasagne or as a bolognese style sauce for pasta (it's great with any of Pastificio Carleschi's superb pasta). Or try it in a pie with roasted veg. Our British-grown olive lentils bring a fantastic peppery and earthy sweetness to the sauce.

Quinoa Cakes with Chimichurri Yoghurt
"Utterly moreish, hot or cold, these make a delicious veggie burger and are also brilliant for parties as bite-size canapés with the chimichurri yoghurt as a dip on the side. They are a great way to use up leftover quinoa, but if you want you can make them from scratch": Melissa Hemsley
Hummus & Roast Vegetable Pie
The Cook & Him's combination of hummus (or ful nabed!) with roasted vegetables gives this delectable pie a rich creaminess, while camelina seeds provide a nutty crunch.
Winter Vegetable Stew with Emmer and Herby Fava Dumplings
This winter veg stew makes a hearty and warming supper for a cold dark evening, with nutty emmer grains and deliciously savoury fava bean flour dumplings. And at Halloween it's a great use for any surplus pumpkin flesh, far too good to waste!
