Who doesn’t love chips?!
Sweet potato chips and fries have become mainstream as our beloved traditional version and it’s super simple to make your own. The lovely sweet flavour of sweet potato makes a really good base flavour for spices so we love coating them in whatever spice mix goes with the other dishes we want to serve… from Cajun, Creole and Chinese 5 spice to Tex Mex, Moroccan or Garham Masala - anything works! Be inventive!

Rich, delicious, and totally satisfying - these beans super simple to bung together won’t fail to impress! Serve them on toasted Vegbred for a power packed brunch, cook a batch and portion them up to freeze for a speedy meal when you need it the most or rustle up a big pan to pile into hot baked potatoes to feed the troupes.
Make these beans with any bean or pulse you have in the cupboard - we’ve made them with anything from cannelloni, butterbeans, black beans, chickpeas or lentils and even mixed mixed together - they’re all delicious!
