Long John Tofu
Slightly scary pirate from the locker of Foods For Life maestro Tony Bishop Weston, who is hosting the Cookery Demos. Long John Tofu has a variety of quick easy dishes that don’t cost the earth or your health.
His Demos include
Cup of tea and toast
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day but many people have little more than a cup of tea and toast, some people leave for work with no breakfast at all! Tony presents some nutritionally sustainable breakfast ideas from his new book 'The Complete Book of Vegan Cooking' that will help you make through until lunchtime.
Sausage Sandwich
There's so much more that can be done with the many different varieties of veggie sausages than just daubing them in HP Sauce and thrusting them between the sheets of 2 slices of bread. Tony makes some lunchtime suggestions from his new book with some new twists for fun with soysages
Strawberries and Cream
Vegans need puddings too! A fruit salad is not a dessert! Tony delves into his new book to pull out some easy ideas to help you end your meal with a flourish
