ABOUT THINLY SPREAD

seasonal vegan cooking from scratch for real life

Hi, I’m Chris,

I cook vegan food from scratch, with a strong nod to the seasons and a garden that provides the backbone of many of our meals. We grow a lot on our quarter-acre plot in the Wiltshire countryside, but I shop like everyone else too. This is real-life cooking, not self-sufficiency theatre (I don’t grow tofu!)

I’ve been feeding a family for over 30 years, so everything here is practical, flavour-first food that fits around normal days. Some meals are on the table quickly, others tick along in the background, but none of it is about spending all day in the kitchen unless you want to.

The food is vegan, comforting, and rooted in common sense: weeknight dinners, make-ahead staples, ways to use what’s in season, whether it comes from the garden, the veg box, or the shops. It’s food that works for my husband, my mum next door, the four grown-up children who drop in hungry, and the general chaos of everyday life. The cats mostly supervise!

This blog is about cooking well without fuss, eating with the seasons wherever you live, and making satisfying, deeply flavoured food from ordinary ingredients.
