I think this is one of the foods which my generation can agree upon which tastes amazing. I know many people who want to be able to make sushi, and I wanted to help out! Here is the fresh sushi which you can eat in a bowl, roll free, along with flexible new ingredients. Why Should You Make This Recipe?One of my favorite cookbooks to use is Love and Lemons Everyday.

Juxtaposing flavours and textures, my Unrolled Sushi Bowl will remind you of sushi which you can make at home without all the complexities!

Want to Individualise it?Probably the best thing about sushi is the variety of rolls, and endless combinations you can get. So why not do that for this recipe too? By using what’s available, you support your local economy and are eating food which is most likely more fresh than those produce shipped from another country.

Really, the ingredients in the recipe are just guidelines. Make however many toppings as you like, keeping close to what reminds you of sushi or you can make it into a Buddha bowl. Have fun with it! How To Add ProteinEven though this recipe is vegan, that doesn’t mean you can’t add protein. Humans have nutritional needs, which means if you need some extra protein in this recipe, here is the place to go! A great vegetarian option would be to add in some beans or tofu depending on the taste you want. And, as always, I recommend this Seared and Baked chicken recipe if you would rather add in some meat. I personally like to slice it thin and place it right in with my bowl to have a well rounded meal. Or to make it extra sushi-ey, add some fresh fish. Below is the recipe for the Unrolled Sushi Bowl, which is my personal favorite combination of toppings and base. However, feel free to dabble in interchanging some ingredients to your personal preference, and enjoy! To learn more about my guidelines for this recipe, visit my About Page. Unrolled Sushi Bowl

All the best flavours of classic spaghetti with a modern twist of roasted vegetables and fresh herbs Spaghetti is fantastic, no questions asked. The sweet flavour of the pasta mixed with the rich notes of sauce, mingling with cheese to top it off. However, what do I like even more? When you can simply throw in some roasted vegetables to make the dish seasonal, original, and differentiated, centering around the Basic Cooking Technique of roasting. Why Is This Sauce Worth It To You?Inspired from the “Silky Bell Pepper Sauce” recipe from Thug Kitchen, I love how easy it is to create a new and inventive sauce at home. Did you know that it’s extremely easy to make a fresh version, instead of going out to eat? Not only that, but by using fresh vegetables and herbs, the tastes blend in an entirely new way, unlike traditional pasta sauce from the jar, while keeping it seasonal. Why Is This Sauce Worth It To The Environment?By making this recipe from home, you do two things. First, utilizing fresh ingredients not only supports your health but also the local economy and farmers, which gives less power to large grocery chains which contribute to the 33% of all food annually being wasted globally, which then usually ends up in landfills. By putting fresh vegetables into your pasta sauce, you are saving food. Moreover, it’s vegetarian - yay - and mainly uses local and canned ingredients, lowering the environmental footprint by increasing your intake of vegetable matter, which is much less resource intensive than products of the meat industry.

How To Make It Your Own?One more thing- and probably the most significant, is the interchangeable ingredients. A large part of becoming sustainable when it comes to food is eating locally and seasonally, rather than serving up some bell peppers which were grown on another continent. I have tested several different versions of this recipe, and can guarantee that all of these substitutions for bell peppers (keeping the amount the same) are delicious in the sauce.
However, my favourite is bell peppers, due to the light and sweet taste they add to the sauce. Feel free to mix and match the ingredients, adding in less or more vegetable matter as you please, the 580g is a guideline to ensure a more precise portion of sauce. How To Add ProteinOf course, this recipe does have a lot of nutritional value, but lacks in protein. If you are a vegetarian or vegan, definitely stir in some beans - my favourite is pinto or cannellini - to the final sauce, adding some creamy and nutty notes. If you would rather opt for some meat, I would recommend some lean chicken and my favourite recipe which goes with everything is a Seared and Baked chicken recipe which I’ll link to here. Below is the bell pepper version of the recipe, which is my personal favorite. In my book, this recipe is sustainable based on my self set sustainability guidelines which you can find on my About page, and guaranteed to be delicious. Roasted Veggie Spaghetti
