Speedy BOSH! is dedicated to vegan meals that can be prepared and cooked in under 30 minutes, while BOSH! Healthy Vegan is all about eating clean AND satisfying your tastebuds. Henry: Watch a few documentaries on veganism like Cowspiracy. The information in those films will definitely legitimise and reinforce your decision to go plant-based. My first Bosh! book was given to me about four years ago by my friend Sharon, who is also a highly sought after plant-based retreat-caterer, and I still use nearly all the recipes every week. She also suggested that my family and I watch the documentary What the Health? on Netflix. I won’t go into it here, but let’s just say we were sold on the ‘why?’ and, thankfully, giving us the book gave us the ‘how?’.

Take the pan off the heat and set it to one side, leaving the lid on but with a small gap to let out steam It’s no longer a fad. Veganism is here to stay …along with vegetarianism and simply eating less meat. BOSH! on a Budget supports us (even we carnivores) with recipes for delicious dishes which just happen to be plant-based. Did you have to make any sacrifices in terms of flavour or ingredient choice when writing more budget recipes for BOSH! On a budget? There is an array of meals here. Breakfast and brunch, light meals, entertaining, comfort foods and desserts are all included. The ingredients are familiar and readily available and, for the most part, cheap. I dare say that even those cooking in a non-vegan household will enjoy these dishes, even if they take the liberty of replacing the specified dairy-free butter with the one they already have in the fridge.

Add the onion and celeriac to the processor with half the mushrooms. Pulse until you have rough dice, then tip into a bowl. Add the onion, leek, celery, garlic and parsley to the processor with the rest of the mushrooms. Pulse to chop, then add to the bowl with the onion and celeriac. Continue in batches until all the vegetables are chopped, then stir to combine.

Henry: I was never a big fan of eggs and to be honest I’m not that keen on vegan egg replacements either! No! Writing with budget constraints really got our creative juices flowing and made us think out of the box for ways to create maximum flavour with minimum cost. I have a few favourites from this book, which is full of mouth-watering possibilities: Chilli Red Pesto from the Staples chapter; Mississippi Mud Pie proves that vegan treats are just as decadent as any other dessert; Thai Red Curry could well be our regular Wednesday night dinner. Swedish ‘Meat’-balls will be popular even with those card-carrying meat lovers. The debut book, BOSH!, and its follow-up BISH BASH BOSH!, are hefty tomes full of meals ranging from super-healthy vegetable bowls to hearty comfort foods.
