I created the YouTube Paige Turner The Pub Grub Vegetarian channel in October of 2016 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCY_wqopSKDs0fuXHuxcgddw to introduce new vegetarians, and non-vegetarians to how tasty this type of home cooked food can be. Perhaps I should have called it The Pub Grub Vegetarian/Vegan as quite a large proportion of the meals are suitable for vegans too!
Many of the meals featured are suitable for students, and low budgets, as most of the ingredients in them occur time and time again so ideally nothing is wasted. They are low in salt and sugar too.
As my father was an excellent cook it gave me a good idea of how tasty meals could be. The right spice here and there, the right amount of black pepper - I don't use white, after being introduced to ground black pepper some time ago, by a kindly dinner lady.
Each new recipe can take a while to create, I usually end up with two to four final samples, and then have a taste test to see which is the best. With the Meat free Meat Pie my daughter Lia who was five years old then chose the best, and I did tend to agree with her!
Barring work commitments and school holidays the recipes will continue, and each time I create a new one I will feature it.
We will also be reviewing the recipes, showing how they can be adapted, and what you can serve them with if you wish.
I am also producing a collection of The Pub Grub Vegetarian books featuring many of the recipes from the YouTube channel at 99p each to download. It saves me having scraps of paper with them written on lying about all over the house! Paige
