Bosh Bowls

If you haven’t come across BOSH! yet then you are in for a treat. Henry & Ian have a great YouTube channel and an increasing array of cookbooks sharing their passion for vegan food. We particularly love their BOSH bowls. I love pulling together lots of different fresh flavours in a pick n mix kind of way and this is so flexible that you can knock one up with whatever you have available. They work for lunch or dinner and is soooo virtuous and healthy it’s beyond belief! Grab a bowl and start building yours
