Vegan BLT
As we move towards the Summer Holidays I plan to highlight some delicious, affordable and easy to cook picnic and BBQ recipes. I am very excited to announce that to kick this off, I have a series of vegan picnic ideas from Louise Palmer-Masterton , who is the founder of multiple award-winning restaurants Stem & Glory.
The first in this series is a delicious Vegan BLT. So if you want to cook something that is part of an award-winning restaurants menu, now is your chance!
The ‘VLT’ (Vegan BLT)
Makes 2-4 rounds of sandwiches depending on the bread size
This has been on our menu at Stem & Glory Cambridge for years and it’s an absolute winner.
The trick is making the tempeh bacon super thin and super crispy and having just the right amount of mayo to make it sing!

Hot Roast Asparagus & Potato Salad [AD]
A short while ago I was sent the recipe book and Diary from The Diary Diary team. As soon as I opened the package, I was thrown straight back to my childhood. every year around Christmas time, my mum would get these delivered with her special Christmas delivery from the milkman.
I can honestly say that I didn't know that they were still producing them. But was pleasantly surprised how good they were. On top of a week to page diary, you get some amazing recipes to try in the actual diary and the recipe book is full of some wonderful recipe ideas for the family.
There is a range of mouth-watering breakfasts, lunches and weekday meals and to top it off some lovely weekend specials.
All of the recipes are fairly easy to follow and the ones that we have tried have been delicious. The recipe that I am doing today was very popular in our house and even got the kids eating asparagus! It took no time to prepare and less than half an hour to cook, so perfect after a day of home learning.
Smoked Salmon Pasta
I saw something similar to this smoked salmon pasta on TV earlier in the year, so when I saw a half-side of salmon in the yellow sticker section for £3.78, I thought I would try my take on it.
It is another really easy recipe and is perfect for a mid-week meal as it takes less than 15 minutes from start to finish.
Pork Fillet With Roasted Vegetables
This one-pot pork fillet with roasted vegetables recipe makes for a simple and cheap Sunday Roast. But being so easy and quick to prepare and cook it would also work for a delicious mid-week meal. The vibrant colours and amazing flavours run through the meal. The kids loved it and have already asked for it again. Why not give it a go and try it tonight ....
