The French Cheese Exception
I married an omnivorous Frenchman – a risky move for a vegan.

It’s perfect for NZ winter, it’s also chewy, crispy, super quick, and it feels like junk food – which I tend to crave in winter….
Lemon Pepper ‘Chickn’ Nuggets
Filed under: delicious fried food and sneaky way to feed kids healthy stuff by disguising it as junk food.

You can also switch out the jackfruit and chickpeas for tofu to get a softer, less ‘meaty’…
