Vegan Burns Night supper with haggis, clapshot and kale


On Sunday I made a belated Burns Night supper using this vegan haggis recipe, along with clapshot (very fun to say), curly kale, roast carrots, parsnips and onions, roasted cabbage, homemade cranberry sauce and red onion and balsamic gravy.


Clapshot, which originates from Orkney, is traditionally made with mashed turnips (swede), potatoes, butter, chives and seasoning. I chose thyme to mash with mine, and exchanged the butter for sunflower oil and plenty of mashing. You could also use a vegan margarine replacement if you're looking for a really creamy taste.

Beach life



A few shots from holiday north and south of the Scottish border. Above: beach bbq with Linda McCartney sausages and sweetcorn for the resident vegetarian and vegan... (i.e. not all for me!)... Seaside chips at Seahouses...When the rain came down, we had an indoor picnic of green beans cooked in olive oil, flour wraps, herb potato salad, tomato salad with basil, hummus, and beluga lentil, chickpea and spinach salad.
