We’ve partnered with friend and MC ambassador Fearne Cotton to bring you four exclusive plant-based recipes this October from her brand new cookbook Happy Vegan!
Whether you’re a meat-eater dabbling with #MeatFreeMonday or a vegan looking to add more healthy vegan recipes to your repertoire, keep reading!
Not only is Fearne passionate about healthy, fresh ingredients, she’s also a busy mum juggling the work-life balance; while being refreshingly authentic and honest about it! Plus, she’s an advocate of living mindfully; combining extensive charity work with an eco-conscious, planet positive vision and practicing yoga and running to give her much needed headspace. That’s our kind of living.
A recipe collaboration with Fearne was a no-brainer. Each week throughout October you can try a different vegan recipe straight from her book, delivered to your door in a Mindful Chef recipe box. Check out what you could be cooking up below.
Week 1: Fearne Cotton’s Fennel, tomato and bean gratin
Nutty cannellini beans are the stars of this gratin. Fennel adds hints of liquorice, while cumin, coriander and paprika add a piquant kick.

Week 2: Fearne Cotton’s spicy bean stew
The perfect Autumnal dish; this convenient one-pot is warming and robust. Kidney beans and sweet potato bulk it out perfectly and take on a deep, fiery flavour thanks to smoked paprika and harissa paste.

Week 3: Fearne Cotton’s ginger miso tofu with tenderstem
Tofu lends itself well to the rich umami hit in this sweet and sticky miso dressing. It’s pan fried until light golden and crisp, then served on a bed of brown rice noodles with ginger and tamari tenderstem.

Week 4: Fearne Cotton’s dahl with brown rice
Red lentils form the base of this comforting dahl. A staple in Indian dishes, they have the sweetest flavour of all the colours of this fibre-rich legume. These are infused with aromatic spices and simmered in tomatoes and creamy coconut milk.
