Tofu Burgers for Caterers

These nice burgers are a doddle to make and freeze well, so it's worth making a big batch. Use a burger press if you have one as it helps them to keep their shape. And just squidge back together with a fish slice if they go a little crumbly!

A Unique Creamy, Flaky Pie with a Mediterranean Twist

An aromatic and delicious recipe. If you don't use tofu because it's an unfamiliar ingredient or you are concerned that it's tasteless, this should persuade you! It would work best with a couple of other accompaniments - some are suggested below.

This lovely fragrant stew can be jazzed up with different accompaniments, such as hummus; baba ganoush; harissa paste; tabouleh salad or quinoa pilaf. It's cheap to make and ticks many boxes: low-fat, wheat-free, nut and soya-free etc.

Thai Vegetable Curry for Caterers

Delicious, Fresh-tasting Red or Green Thai Vegetable Curry with Tofu

This lovely curry is a winner. Simply ensure that the curry paste you buy is vegan - that it contains no shrimp or fish sauce. Good vegan brands include Thai Taste www.thaitaste.co.uk/products and for products and stockists (NB Other brands such as Blue Dragon, MaiSri and MaePloy are NOT vegetarian/vegan)

Chilli Non Carne

This Martin Shaw recipe is a Viva! classic - it's been fed to tens of thousands of people at Viva!'s Incredible Veggie Roadshows and ticks all the boxes: cheap, easy, freezes well and is enjoyed by meat eaters and veggies alike! Make it mild for kids/chilli-haters by using just a small amount of mild chilli powder and serving hot pepper sauce on the side for heat-lovers. 

Budget options: use dried savoury TVP (soya mince) and/or cooked whole lentils.
Soya-free and gluten-free? Omit veggie mince and use lentils/beans
