Whole Roast Cauliflower Recipe

Put veg centre-stage with this impressive looking (but very easy) vegetarian recipe. The cauliflower is briefly pre-cooked before it goes into the hot oven, so it soaks up loads of garlicky, buttery flavour as it roasts. The topping is quick and easy to make, so this is a relatively stress-free meal – you can roast some parboiled potatoes or parsnips alongside the cauliflower to accompany it, or steam carrots, peas or beans on the hob during the last few minutes of its cooking time. Serves 4.

Tomato & Ricotta Galette

Tomatoes are at their sunshine-packed best right now; this gorgeous vegetarian recipe comes from The Tomato Stall (our UK tomato supplier, based on the Isle of Wight), and really makes the most of their beautiful mixed-colour mini plum tomatoes. Serves 6.

Super Slaw with Spicy Dressing Recipe

This light and delicious slaw makes a pleasant change from the standard mayonnaise-laden recipe – we like to serve it alongside our Chinese-Style Pork Ribs. If you have a grating attachment for your food processor, it will speed this recipe up considerably. Serves 4 as part of a meal.

Super-Charged Scrambled Eggs

Eggs are the original ‘fast food’, and scrambled eggs can be ready in minutes for a quick and easy breakfast or light lunch. They’re great served piled on toast with ketchup (and maybe a rasher or two of bacon), or sitting atop some smoked salmon on a toasted bagel; this recipe is a little healthier, however, and a lot more interesting. It’s made with vibrant red pepper, tomato and spring onion – if you like heat, you can add a dash of Tabasco or pinch of chilli flakes during cooking. Serves 2.

Pan-Fried Cabbage with Chilli & Garlic Recipe

The dark-green, knubbly leaves of Savoy Cabbage are rich in vitamins and minerals, and it seems a shame to waste all these goodies by letting them leach out into a pan of boiling water. Other cooking methods will produce tasty results without destroying the health benefits of fresh veg; in this recipe, the cabbage is cooked quickly over a high heat, with a couple of flavourful additions for a fast and simple side-dish. This method will work well with other leafy veg, including shredded kale, spring greens and Brussels sprouts, and it’s also worth experimenting with your own ‘extras’; you could try swapping the tamari sauce for a couple of tinned anchovies, ‘melted’ into the hot oil before the cabbage is added, or sprinkle some toasted hazelnuts or sesame seeds over the cooked cabbage before serving. Serves 4, as a side dish.

Mustard & Honey Parsnip Mash Recipe

Parsnips are a sweet-tasting vegetable, sometimes to the extent of being a little bland. Here, their sweetness is rounded out with a dash of honey and balanced by punchy wholegrain mustard. Serves 4 as a side dish.

Mushroom Wellington Recipe

This delicious vegetarian Wellington deserves a central spot on your celebratory table! Serves 6.

Mushrooms with Spinach & Harbourne Blue

This simple recipe makes the most of just a few special ingredients, including seasonal mushrooms and the delicious Harbourne Blue Goats’ Cheese produced here in Devon by Ticklemore Dairy. Ready in moments, we like to eat this with a green salad and some crusty bread. Serves 2 (quantities can be scaled up easily to make more if needed).

Mushroom Pâté Recipe

This is a straightforward recipe that can be made ahead and refrigerated until needed – just give it enough time to come up to room temperature before serving. Serves 8 as part of a spread.

Mushroom Burger Recipe

There’s no meat in these ‘burgers’, so-called because the mushrooms are just the right size to sandwich in a burger bun. It’s well worth letting the mushrooms marinate for the full 30 minutes (longer, if you can manage it) – watch out for the delicious juices when you bite into your ‘burger’! Serves 4.

Mushroom-Baked Breakfast Eggs Recipe

Perfectly-baked eggs sit atop juicy mushrooms to make a simple but sustaining morning meal. Serve with a couple of rashers of our streaky bacon for a more meaty cooked breakfast – a big mug of strong tea or freshly-brewed coffee is also a must! Serves 2 (makes 4 mushrooms).

Mixed Tomato Bruschetta

Jewel bright and bursting with sweetness and flavour, we think peak-season tomatoes are best enjoyed simply so they can really shine. Try serving this Italian-style bruschetta as a starter, or as part of a summery spread. Makes about 4 servings.

Maple Syrup and Mustard Roast Parsnips

This is a super side-dish for roast Turkey or Gammon, its sweetness complementing the meat perfectly. As an extra bonus, the veg can be prepared the night before they’re needed and then popped in the oven when you’re ready. Serves 4 as a side dish.

Lentil & Sharpham Stuffed Squash Recipe

Made in South Devon, Sharpham Rustic cheese is made with vegetarian rennet and has a delicious nutty flavour - perfect for baking into this hearty and colourful dish. Serves 2 as a main dish or 4 as a side.

Leek, Cheddar & Thyme Croustade Recipe

Slow-cooked leeks, rich Cheddar and fresh herbs make this a super meat-free centrepiece for your festive table. Serve with roast potatoes, a tangy chutney or cranberry sauce and a selection of your favourite veg. Serves 4.

Honey-Roast Parsnip Soup

This super-comforting soup smells as good as it tastes! For a vegan version, substitute maple syrup for honey, use an extra splash of oil instead of butter, and use your preferred plant milk. If you have any leftovers, it freezes well – perfect for an easy meal when you need a break from the kitchen. Serves 4.

Homity Pie Recipe

This open-topped vegetarian pie brings out the best in its simple but tasty ingredients. The recipe is thought to have been invented here in the West Country by ‘land girls’ during the Second World War, when rationing and food shortages inspired creative cooking with home-grown ingredients. Makes one large pie, to serve 4.

Halloumi Shawarma + Pea & Mint Smash Recipe

This summery vegetarian recipe is a great way to try something a little different with halloumi – there’s a little bit of work involved, but it’s fairly easy to put together (and also handy to have up your sleeve for impressing veggie guests!). Can be cooked on the hob or over a BBQ. Serves 4.

Grilled Balsamic Mushroom Skewers

Simple but tasty, this vegetarian recipe will have even meat-eaters asking for more! Serves 4

Greendale greens with chilli and toasted almonds

Get some gorgeous seasonal greens on the table (and make the Brussels-Sprout dodgers happy) with this quick and simple side dish. Serves 6.

Green Bean & Courgette Salad

A tasty way to ‘eat your greens’, this easy salad is full of good things! It makes a great light meal, and also works well served alongside other dishes as part of a larger spread. Serves 2.

Figs With Goats Cheese, Walnuts & Honey

This easy recipe is vegetarian-friendly, no-cook and fuss-free –and did we mention that it also tastes delicious, too? You can vary the nuts and cheese if you like (blue cheese is a delightful option), but do check that the cheese is not made with animal rennet if you need to keep the recipe vegetarian. Makes 16.

Devon Blue Tagliatelle with Leeks & Broccoli

This rich, indulgent pasta dish is just the ticket for a cosy evening in. If you can’t find tagliatelle, fettucine, spaghetti or linguine will all work just as well. Serves 2.

Devilled Eggs

Made with our own free-range eggs, this easy recipe works equally well as a vegetarian starter or served as part of a buffet. Makes 18 egg halves.

Creamy Nut Crumble Recipe

This savoury vegetarian crumble is packed with hearty veg and chickpeas, and topped with a delicious nutty crumble. To make a vegan version, simply substitute the butter and cream for plant-based alternatives. Serves 4.

Celeriac, Walnut and Devon Blue Gratin

Celeriac may not be the prettiest of vegetables, but give it a chance and you will be pleasantly surprised. It has a nutty flavour, akin to that of celery, and complements the blue cheese and walnuts in this creamy gratin perfectly. Serves 4.

Butternut & Chestnut Bake Recipe

Squash, chestnuts and juicy mushrooms make this delicious bake a seasonal treat. A vegan recipe (which also happens to be gluten free), it’s a great meat-free option for festive celebrations and family get-togethers. Enjoy with roast potatoes and all your favourite veg. Serves 4.

Butter Bean Dip Recipe

Blitz up this butter bean dip in minutes and serve it with crunchy raw veg, toasted pitta strips or plain crisps. Serves 8 as part of a spread.

Sweet Potato & Avocado Bites

Lightly spiced and topped with creamy avocado, these vegan nibbles are a great meat-free choice. Serves 10 as part of a buffet-style spread.

Mushroom, Artichoke and Sweet Potato Salad

To celebrate Vegetarian Week, we've teamed up with vegan food bloggers @eatsandvinyl to bring you this delicious wild mushroom, artichoke and sweet potato salad. Drizzled with luxurious truffle oil and topped with watercress and wild garlic from the Devon hedgerows, it's a flavour-packed example of meat-free food at its best.

Easy Radish Pickle

Home-pickling doesn’t have to mean hours of laborious chopping and simmering, with the resulting jars jostling for space in the store cupboard; this quick, simple recipe is made in moments from fresh radishes, and is designed to make just enough to serve as part of a summer spread.

Easy Bean Salad

This healthy, colourful salad is a doddle to make, and delicious, too. Try experimenting with different cheeses (soft Goats Cheese is a good alternative) and different herbs, and tweak it to suit your tastes.

BBQ Diaries; Courgette Canoes with Halloumi

This is a serious veggie BBQ showstopper that’s easy to prepare. The perfect side to a bring-and-share BBQ, or even the main event for a light BBQ lunch. The overall concept lends itself to a whole host of different fillings and toppings, but this is the combo I’ve gone for, which works beautifully. A drizzle of mayo and a garnish of fresh coriander to serve really finishes the dish perfectly. I must say the Greendale Sundried Tomato & Smoked Garlic Chutney is to die for and is the star of this dish.

BBQ Corn with Garlic Butter

Quick and easy, these grilled corn cobs are sure to please – be warned, it’s near-impossible to eat them ‘politely’ without getting garlic butter down your chin! Recipe makes six cobs.

BBQ Brie with Tomatoes and Basil Recipe

This indulgent but simple recipe is a great one for special occasions – it does use a whole wheel of brie, but the delicious end result is definitely worth it! Serves 10-12.
