Miguel’s One Pound Vegan Recipes
Vegan One Pound Meals is one of a series of budget-friendly books by London chef Miguel Barclay. No posh meals here (nor desserts) but simple meals with real ingredients (the ‘creamy spaghetti sauce is made with squash, not fake meat). And there’s a colour image of each recipe. This chef has a background in science, so likes to combine his love of cooking with love of budgeting, to help people to eat well. Miguel’s Spanish grandmother is not impressed by his super-simple meals, calling his recipe for paella ‘rice with stuff in it!’
Miguel Barclay began washing-up in restaurants, before becoming a biochemist and Instagram sensation with his popular £1 meals. With a background in spreadsheets, he loved using his skills to calculate cost savings while thinking up dishes. He is now the author of several best-selling cookbooks.
