Welcome to our collection of traditional family favourite recipes. Here, you will find vintage, retro, and old-fashioned recipes perfect for everyday home cooking, all tried and tested by our Scottish family. Our main focus is on traditional British dishes, adapted with vegan-friendly ingredients, though we also feature our favourite recipes from other cuisines.
Our latest recipes
These vegan recipes are hot off the press... or rather, straight from our Scottish family stove! We love recipes that were popular from Medieval times through to the Victorian era, the 1940s rationing period, and the '60s, '70s, and '80s Old School Dinners. We're also quite fond of recipes that could have featured on the TV sets of Call The Midwife and Downton Abbey, as well as within the pages of The Famous Five and Jane Austen books!
Traditional dinner recipes
