🧀🧈 My next NEKED Food masterclass is here, and we’re making cheese AND butter!

Our Seitan Masterclass was such a joy, watching everyone create beautiful food in their own kitchens. Now I’m inviting you back for five creamy, indulgent favourites, made entirely from plants. 💚

During this live online cook-along, I’ll teach you how to make:

🌱 Vegan feta
🌱 Vegan burrata
🌱 Vegan cream cheese
🌱 Our signature cashew cheese sauce, the delicious one we use on our NEKED Food burgers and mac & cheese
🌱 My luxurious vegan butter

We’ll work through the recipes together, with tips on flavour, texture and consistency, time for questions and help along the way.

Did you know that Joaquin Phoenix has been vegan since he was 3 years old? 🌱

Speaking about his vegan lifestyle Phoenix said, "I've been vegan since I was 3 years old... me and my siblings witnessed fish being killed in a really violent and aggressive way, and it was just absolutely obvious that was something we did not want to participate in, and we didn't want to support."

Over the years Phoenix has frequently used his platform to advocate for veganism and animal welfare, notably during his Academy Award acceptance speech! 🎭

Huge thanks to Joaquin for being such a passionate ambassador for the animals! 💚

Feeling inspired? It's never too late to try vegan. Follow Veganuary and try it today!

🌸 68 RECIPES. ONE BEAUTIFUL COOKBOOK. A WHOLE NEW WAY TO EXPERIENCE PLANT-BASED FOOD! 🌱💚

Whoever said vegan food was boring clearly hasn’t eaten at my table! 😉

I’m delighted to share my cookbook, NEKED FOOD: Plant-Based Gourmet Edition, a gorgeous collection of 68 recipes filled with bold flavours, beautiful presentation, a generous helping of South African soul and a little international flair.

This isn’t a cookbook about what you can’t eat. It’s a celebration of everything you CAN eat, and just how extraordinary plant-based cuisine can be!

From elegant dinner-party dishes and indulgent desserts to restaurant favourites, creative vegan cheeses and dishes that will impress even the most devoted meat eaters, I’ve poured years of culinary experimentation, passion and love into these pages.

You’ll also find my personal chef’s tips, beautiful food photography and food and w**e pairing suggestions to help you create something truly special in your own kitchen.

And no, you absolutely don’t have to be vegan to enjoy it! ❤️

📖 CHOOSE YOUR EDITION:

With love and a little culinary mischief,

Chef Vanessa Jarvis-Findlay 💚

Nutritional yeast (or nooch) is a popular item amongst vegans. But what actually is it, and how is it beneficial to a vegan diet? 🤔

Did you know? That we grow a lot of our own organic fruits and vegetables. Look how great our lettuces are looking. Within minutes of your order we’ve harvested and it’s on your plate. We think that’s pretty marvellous. And you?
