Cape Town-based chef Jason “Jay Mac” McNamara’s vegan alternative to white fish is guaranteed to impress. Go traditional and serve this with chips, or opt for spicy potato wedges and a side salad. The celeriac fillets need time to marinate, so start your preparations in good time, or even the day before.

Harissa-hummus ch*cken pasta

This pasta dish by vegan chef, Leozette Roode is deliciously hearty and super quick and easy to whip up. The creaminess from the pasta comes from using hummus in the base of the pasta sauce. The hummus, together with the gluten-free quinoa and rice penne pasta, and the ch*cken alternative, also makes this a high plant-protein meal. Anyone can make this recipe, even if you have the culinary skills of a cabbage.
