A question we get asked a lot - what is nutritional yeast and what does it do? It's in a lot of vegan recipes and to someone trying it out for the first time it's a whole new ingredient.
Well it's called vegan pixie dust for a reason.
1. It's a complete protein
2. It's a source of fibre
3. It's packed with vitamins
4. It's delicious on practically everything!
But what do you do with it? It has a naturally nutty, cheesy and savoury flavour so use it anywhere you would use something like Parmesan - so think a topping on risotto or pasta, stirred into soups and stews, sprinkled on salads or maybe even some fresh hot popcorn.
That's not all... some of us love it on a slice of toast with plenty of butter. Given half the chance some of us would even eat it out the tub with a spoon. Yum!
So you can get to know this magic ingredient there's 15% off Marigold nutritional yeast fortified B12 (the iconic blue tub we all love) until the end of February.
Vegan or not, it's an essential for adding flavour to everything you cook.

It adds a cheesy flavor to your dishes but also packs a nutritional punch (especially if it's the all time favourite blue tub with added B12). Sprinkle it on popcorn, pasta, or even roasted veggies for an instant flavour upgrade... we laos like it on toast with a bit of spread. Yum!
3. Make Friends with Legumes 👫:

There is even a spread for all elements of the cheeseboard - Lemon and Dill Spread: Zesty, fresh, herby, tangy, perfect for spreading on your favourite crackers
Our Christmas roasts aren't fancy looking like the ones you'll see in major supermarkets... but ours are a great base so you can make it yours, make it special and make it exactly how you want it to be.
Need some inspiration? Let's start with the 'turkey'
Herb-Roasted:
Roast the 'turkey' with a generous amount of fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, and sage for a classic and aromatic flavour.
Speaking of herbs? Why not go for a za'atar 'Turkey' with charred aubergone mash. Very Ottolenghi!
Maple Glazed Roast... it doesn't have to be 'Gammon!'
Roast the 'turkey' with a sweet and savoury (and simple) maple glaze for a caramelised, sticky crust.
Bacon-Wrapped... like a giant pigless blanket:
Why not combine the maple and bacon? Use it to stick the bacon strips on before roasting to add a smoky, savory layer to the turkey.
Pomegranate Molasses-Glazed:
Another Ottolenghi inspired idea - tangy and sweet pomegranate molasses for a festive and vibrant flavour. Why not finish it with a sprinkling of mint and fresh pomegranate seeds.
Cranberry and Orange-Glazed:
Mix Mrs Darlingtons port and cranberry sauce with fresh orange juice and zest for a fresh flavour.
Cajun-Style Roast Turkey:
Rub the turkey with a Cajun spice blend, Peri Peri or any spice blend you like for a spicy crust.
There's lots of ways you can take this simple roast and make it your own. What are you making? Tag us and let us know Instagram, Facebook or Twitter? X? What is it these days? You know where we mean.
