Lasagna Cupcakes
A Message From Our Nutritionist
It’s a little bit more work than a traditional lasagna but it cooks so much quicker and serves up nicely because it’s individually portioned. I used tofu as a substitute for traditional ricotta. Tofu is so versatile and its mild flavour serves as a very good sub to ricotta in this dish.

Raita is a condiment served with Indian food. Nice to cool the palate against some spicy food.

I love curries because they are all slightly different. This vegan curry recipe does not disappoint and is not spicy.
