ABOUT THINLY SPREAD

seasonal vegan cooking from scratch for real life

Hello, I’m Chris, and welcome to Thinly Spread.

I’ve been cooking for my family for more than thirty years, and somewhere along the way a simple love of feeding people grew into this little corner of the internet. Here you’ll find vegan recipes made from scratch, generous meals for busy days, and plenty of ideas for making the most of seasonal fruit and vegetables.

My husband and I grow a surprising amount of food on our quarter-acre garden in rural Wiltshire. Beans scramble up poles, tomatoes fill the greenhouse, herbs spill out of every corner, and there always seems to be another basket of courgettes waiting to become dinner. But I shop locally and rely on the supermarket too. This is everyday cooking for ordinary lives, using whatever is in season and within reach.

The recipes here are tested by the people who matter most: my husband, my mum who lives next door, the four grown-up children who still arrive hungry whenever they can, and any friends who happen to be passing. 

I believe good food doesn’t need complicated techniques or endless ingredients. A handful of vegetables, a well-stocked pantry and a little time can produce meals that are comforting, colourful and full of flavour. Some recipes are quick enough for a Tuesday night, others are perfect for slow weekends or sharing with friends, but they’re all designed to be cooked again and again.

Whether you’re vegan, cooking for someone who is, trying to eat more plants, or simply looking for delicious seasonal recipes, I’m so glad you’re here. Pull up a chair and make yourself at home, I’ll pop the kettle on.
