About the veg wiki

Philosophy

Cooking is better with more hands in the pot.

A wiki gets more useful the more it's used. Every recipe links to the ingredients and techniques it uses — and every ingredient links back to the recipes built around it. Nothing here is static: pages grow as the household cooks, and what we learn goes straight back into the site.

No banner ads, no sponsored recipes, no tracking cookies. If something is here, it's because we actually cook it.

Who we are

A household that cooks together

This is a family project, not a publication. Everything is written by and for the people who cook from it, and every recipe is tested at least twice before it's published.

Why we built it

One connected place for what we cook

Most recipe sites are a pile of one-off pages. We wanted the recipes we've actually made, the ingredients and techniques behind them, and a meal planner that remembers everyone's allergies, preferences, and dislikes — all woven into a single system. A family cookbook that never goes out of date.

Who we link out to

We only link places we'd genuinely shop, and we never accept sponsored placements. Some links are affiliate links — if you buy through them, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. It never affects what we feature or how we rate.

Make it vs buy it

This batch costs about £0.54 (estimated from ingredients). Add a "buy it instead" price to see how much making it saves.

Savings are ingredient-cost only — they don't count time or labour. Estimates use approximate ingredient prices.

Adapted from Yotam Ottolenghi — Fire-roasted aubergine mashed with tahini, pomegranate seeds, and a drizzle of good olive oil — minimal effort, maximum drama.

Nutrient profile per serving

Computed from UK CoFID per-100g data for this recipe's ingredients, split across 4 servings. Percentages are of daily reference values for a typical adult.

We don't have enough CoFID data yet to show a nutrient profile for this dish — the ingredients that are missing data are listed under "data coverage" below.

Percentages are of the UK Reference Nutrient Intake for a typical adult where one exists; nutrients without an official RNI (fibre, vitamin D, vitamin E, omega-3) are shown against UK dietary guidelines. Not all of this recipe's ingredients could be included in the nutrient figures — see the data coverage note below.
