The Whole Food Vegan Podcast

Helping you enjoy a wonderfully varied, tasty, easy to prepare & nutritious whole food plant based diet. No Crap. No Agenda. We are passionate in their quest to enjoy and share with you the best whole food vegan food, cooked from scratch everyday. Our names are Mark and Sue.We love eating a healthy and balanced wholefood plant-based diet. We cook from scratch using raw ingredients virtually every day and the purpose of this vegan pod cast is to share not only recipes but our cooking principles with you. Neither of us are trained chefs, but both of us have a passion for food and sharing it, just ask our friends that come to our dinner parties. In sharing what we cook each week we know that you will see trends and patterns in the way we think about food, you’ll discover easy ways to turn raw vegetables and ingredients into healthy, tasty meals that you, your friends and family will love. We are not going to get into the politics of being vegan, there are many other podcasts that do that. We are not not here to convince you to become vegan, there are other podcasts for that as well. We are not even here to tell you about the latest vegan fast food, mainly because we generally don’t eat it! We are here to help you eat healthily, freshly cooked and delicious vegan meals everyday which don’t cost the earth or take hours to prepare.

Eating a vegan diet doesn't mean you can't enjoy all your winter favourites like stews with dumplings, heavier meals like roasts, and of course traditional puddings!

In this episode we talk about vegan options we have been eating this week; hearty sweet potato and peanut stew, nachos with chilli - great on jacket potato too, and a creamy flavoursome mushroom stroganoff which is really simple to make.

We also refer back to the previous episode about the value of nutritional awareness - talking about how culturally we have become fearful of fat and carb heavy rich meals, even though we need more fat and stodge to get us through the tougher winter months. As always, pulses, pies and green leafy veg get a mention as stars of the show. It is natural and healthy to eat seasonally in tune with what your body needs, and for us that currently includes loads of root veg such as carrot, parsnips, potato, celeriac - all of which are high in natural sugars and benefit from braising, roasting or slow cooking. We also talk about bulking out meals and making leftovers in to a healthy soup.
