Five ingredients. That is the whole idea. Fifty-four vegan dinners, every single one built on a five-item ingredient list, sorted into five chapters — American, Asian, Italian, global and Mexican. Serves, cooking time and prep time are printed at the top of every page.
A real book, printed and posted — delivery usually takes 3–5 working days once despatched
Anyone who wants dinner on the table without a shopping list as long as their arm. Five ingredients a recipe, ordinary kitchen kit, and a time printed at the top of the page. It works as a first vegan cookbook, and it works on the Tuesday when you have run out of ideas.
Nine of the fifty-four, with the photographs and the timings exactly as the book prints them. Every one is built on a five-item ingredient list. The other forty-five are waiting inside.
Whole-wheat spaghetti and broccoli turned creamy and golden with Noochy Licious. Twenty minutes from boiling the water to the table.
The one everybody asks for, done vegan and done properly. Five things on the list, and Noochy Licious doing the heavy lifting.
Sticky, frayed jackfruit piled into a soft bun with a crunch of red cabbage. Five minutes of prep and a two-handed dinner.
A dark, savoury bowl of noodles and mushrooms with a scatter of spring onion. What you cook when the evening has gone cold.
Neat little rolls you make yourself, which come out looking like you didn’t. Cut them, fan them out, watch them go.
A proper base, blistered at the edge, under olives, mushrooms and torn basil. Five minutes of prep, then the oven does the rest.
Soft gnocchi, charred asparagus and a squeeze of lemon. Bright, quick, and it looks like far more effort than it took.
Cauliflower roasted hard with harissa until the edges catch, spooned over brown rice. Five minutes of work, forty in the oven.
Griddled tortillas with sweet potato and chickpeas inside and Noochy Licious through the middle. Cut into wedges, eaten with your hands.
Plus 45 more — American classics, Asian, Italian, global and Mexican.

It’s a physical, printed book, posted to your door. There is no PDF and no download link. We wanted something you could stand open on the counter while you cook, without a screen going dark or getting splashed.
Every recipe in the book lists five ingredients, and we counted every one of the fifty-four. Those five are what you shop for. Like most recipes, a lot of the methods also ask you to reach for oil, salt or pepper along the way — we would rather tell you that here than have you find out at the hob.
Fifty-four, one to a page, across five chapters: American Classics, Asian Inspired, Italian Favorites, Global Flavors and Taste of Mexico. Nine are shown on this page with the serves, cooking time and prep time exactly as the book prints them.
Serves, cooking time and prep time are printed at the top of every page, so there are no surprises. Forty-seven of the fifty-four cook in thirty minutes or less, and two need no cooking at all. The longest cook in the book is one hour.
No. Three recipes name Noochy Licious Nutritional Yeast in their ingredient list, and a fourth suggests it as a finish. The rest of the book cooks perfectly well without it — though the Mac N’Cheese is a very good reason to keep a pouch in the cupboard.
Yes — every recipe is 100% plant-based. Where one calls for milk, cheese or butter it means the vegan version. If you have a specific allergy, read the ingredient list on the recipe before you cook.
Once your order has been despatched, delivery usually takes 3–5 working days.
