Be keen to hear about any decent vegans recipes if possible. Too often after a busy day at work, I end up eating a falafel or halloumi wrap for dinner and want to add a bit more variety.
'Have you tried making giant batches of stuff and keeping them in the freezer, you can then just pop something in the microwave after a busy day, but still have a healthy delicious homecooked meal.
I do it with bolognase, chilli, curry, stews and dumplings all of which have veggie/vegan options.
Yesterday I spent an hour making dumplings, now we have loads of easy breakfast just sitting in the freezer.
I’ve tried it before with curries and pasta dishes and always find it tastes a bit crap once defrosted.
We have a big Asian community at work and they’ve tried getting me to eat rice, noodles and dumplings for breakfast and I just can’t get my head around it.

A vegan friend of mine posted a short film on Fb about 10 famous vegetarians from history. I pointed out (in a jovial style) that they left out a little Austrian bloke with a funny moustache, to which he replied that he wasn't a veggie at all and that he ate meat in secret (a dubious claim from what a quick check on t'internet could glean). So I said - again pointing out that I was playing devil's advocate - how did he know the others on the film didn't eat meat in secret too? At which point he went totally po-faced and got a bit shirty about the whole thing. That's my only problem with (some) veggies and vegans, they seem to have a sense of humour loss when you have a bit of "banter" about their lifestyle choice. I'm all for it anyway - anything that pisses off Piers Morgan is alright by me.
@jamescafc I’d recommend buying the vegan cookery book by Bosh, the have a vlog as well and I’ve made a few of their recipes and they are fairly easy, not too many am ingredients and taste amazing.

Dave Berry pointed out the other day that Gregg's and piers share a publicist. Outraged on demand, who'd have thought it.
The above link does inadvertently raise an interesting point, which is there are simply no substitutes for a lot of non-vegan ingredients. There must be some balance between sustainable food production and 100s of years worth of culinary traditions and culture that vegans and non-vegans can be happy with.

Cheers Neil, will give it a go. Eating far too much Mexican type food and getting quite fat.

There's no such thing as sustainable food production, there's too many of us!
This is a new one on me. A friend of my mum's won't eat anything that swims or tries to fly ? Fish, duck, Turkey or chicken, but will eat beef, pork, lamb etc. There should be a name for this ?

I agree pasta doesn't freeze well.

'Ooh look at me, I can swim and fly'
Very good if you don’t have or don’t make time to cook your own lunch.
1 pot at £2.50 is enough for me with fruit for lunch. Bigger eaters would need 2 pots. Decent range though and a good effort from M&S
