WELCOME TO TINNED TOMATOES

Are you starting the journey to a vegetarian or vegan diet or just looking for tasty recipes that are easy to follow with no fancy ingredients?

If you are, Tinned Tomatoes is the blog for you!

JACQUELINE

Hi, I'm Jac, a Scottish food writer and recipe developer.

I live in Scotland with my husband (who likes to stay as far away from the kitchen as possible, unless I'm passing him some food), my son, and my two daft dogs.

I love to share easy, family-tested plant-based recipes with no weird or hard-to-find ingredients.

If I can make a recipe quick and simple, then I'm happy as I'm also a busy working mum who is short of time.

Check out my recipes by:

scrolling through them
using the search button to search for an ingredient or style of recipe (slow cooker, air fryer, pasta, potato bake etc)
clicking on my recipe index and choosing a cooking method, cuisine or category

I have nearly 900 recipes, so I'm still updating the index.

All my recipes are easy to make and have a printable recipe. If you want to jump straight to the recipe card hit the jump to recipe button at the top of each place (if it's missing on an older recipe, click comments at the top, the recipe card is just above the comment section.

WHY TINNED TOMATOES?

So why did I call my blog Tinned Tomatoes?

Yes, tinned tomatoes are bloomin' tasty and convenient.

No, I don't include tinned tomatoes in every dish and I definitely don't bake with them.

When I started this blog in 2007 most of my favourite recipes started with a tin of tomatoes, so when I was naming my blog I decided to call it Tinned Tomatoes.

Tinned Tomatoes was my starting point but also a reminder to myself to move beyond tinned tomatoes and be more creative.

This blog has been plant-based for years now, but many recipes from my archive are vegetarian and my new recipes are easy to make vegetarian if that is your chosen diet.

READERS COMMENTS

I get lots of lovely emails and messages from readers. Here's a small collection of comments (with kind permission).

THE VEGAN LUNCH BOX

I have a second blog called The Vegan Lunch Box.

Head over there for easy vegan lunch ideas and recipes for children and adults.

It will leave you inspired and ready to perk up your lunches and snacks.

BOOK - LIVING ON THE VEG

Living on the Veg: A kids' guide to life without meat is a fun and colourful book for children on how to live meat-free with a few simple recipes and lots of fun facts.

I co-authored this book with Clive Gifford and it was published by Wayland in 2018.

The recipes are a mix of vegetarian and vegan.
