Rachel divulges her delightful recipe for delectable stuffed aubergines. With a medley of ingredients like vibrant red spring onions, zesty chili, aromatic garlic, savoury tomato paste, and plant-based mince, she creates a symphony of flavours. Infusing a touch of barbecue seasoning and the richness of smoked olive oil, Rachel expertly crafts a tantalizing taste profile. She warmly leads listeners through the step-by-step preparation, from artfully coring the aubergines to their aromatic oven-baking. While humbly acknowledging her non-professional culinary status, Rachel welcomes invaluable insights or critiques from seasoned chefs.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The recipe for stuffed aubergines includes ingredients such as aubergines, red spring onions, chilli, garlic granules, tomato paste, and plant-based mince.
The aubergines are coated in smoked olive oil and baked in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
Cream cheese is added to the filling for a hot and spicy yet soothing flavour.
The stuffed aubergines are topped with spring onions and can be served as a keto-friendly meal option.
BEST MOMENTS
"Today I'm going to make some stuffed aubergines. I have got four aubergines, that means it's four meals, some red spring onions that were reduced at Sainsbury's, love a bargain."
"I'm going to add another tub of the free from Sainsbury's cream cheese because I'm wanting it to be hot and spicy but just a little bit soothing as well."
"What's great with these things and life is that if you've got stuff left over, put it in a pot and you can eat it whenever. You don't have to throw anything away. I hate waste."
"Here they are straight out of the oven. They had just under 20 minutes which is about right."
"Nice, crispy, cheesy topping would be lovely. But we can't at the moment if we're being strict keto."

Today Rachel sits down with Gary, the visionary behind Plant Based School Kitchens. She unveils his journey in crafting allergen-free delicacies and his dedication to meeting diverse dietary needs as well as discussing the challenges of vegan and gluten-free living, especially dining out, highlighting the call for more inclusive eateries.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The Plant Based School Kitchens provide allergen-free, plant-based meals for schools, catering to various dietary restrictions.
The founders, Gary and Anna, are passionate about creating delicious and nutritious plant-based dishes that children and adults will enjoy.
The company has received support and recognition from organisations like the Vegan Society and ProVeg International.
They prioritise sustainability by reducing food waste and sourcing ingredients from local suppliers.
The ultimate goal is to change the school food standards to allow for more plant-based options in mainstream schools.
BEST MOMENTS
"We opened up the Vegan Street Food Company. Our idea with the name we took a brand on was to do festivals and do events all across the country."
"We wanted to make the foods that were familiar to the children. So things that they would have at home, but with a plant-based twist."
"We try not to use garlic, tomato, and onions because there are many folks that can't have them and they still want children that are allergic to them."
"We go and collect all the fruit and veg that we can try, so we will try and make use of it at the school, to stop it from going to landfill."
"Changing what you eat to change the world."
GUEST BIO
Gary is a former chef turned pioneering vegan culinary artist. After a tenure with Age UK, he embarked on a transformative odyssey when his partner's intolerances sparked a mission. This journey led to the establishment of Worthing's Vegan Street Food shop.
Approached by Our Lady Of Sion, he revitalised a dormant school kitchen, introducing nutritious, familiar flavours to the junior school. With resounding success, he extended the plant-based revolution school-wide, surprising sceptics as students embraced the cuisine's deliciousness over its meatless nature.
His influence transcends the school realm, engaging in dialogues with Greenpeace, WWF, and even the Houses of Parliament. As England and Europe's sole vegan school caterers, they are global pioneers. Collaborating with nutritionists and pursuing allergen-free excellence, they continue to reshape perceptions and tantalise taste buds with their innovative, compassionate approach.

In this instalment of The Keto Vegan show, Rachel delves into the intriguing inquiry: What could unfold for the animal kingdom if the entire population embraced veganism? Rachel presents insightful studies concerning the life durations of domesticated farm animals, and she navigates through the plausible consequences a vegan-oriented society might have on the realm of animal agriculture.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
If everyone became vegan, there would be a reduction in animal agriculture, leading to improved living conditions for farmed animals and increased opportunities for sanctuaries.
Large areas of land reclaimed from agriculture could provide more space for wildlife, but proper management is necessary to prevent barren areas.
The shift to plant-based diets could have positive impacts on human health, potentially reducing instances of diet-related diseases.
Animal agriculture is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and water pollution, so transitioning to plant-based diets could lead to reduced carbon emissions and environmental benefits.
While a sudden global shift to veganism is unlikely, education, awareness, and responsible decision-making on both individual and societal levels are key to a sustainable and successful transition.
BEST MOMENTS
"The shift to plant-based diets could lead to reduced carbon emissions and environmental benefits in terms of land and water use."
"If everyone adopts a well-balanced and nutritious vegan diet, it could have positive impacts on human health, potentially reducing instances of diet-related diseases."
"The key to a sustainable and successful transition lies in education, awareness, and responsible decision making on both individual and societal levels."
"There are ways of making things that are plant-based to replace animal products. Some wines are treated with animal products, so aren't vegan. Other wines aren't, so they are vegan. So, there is a way, isn't there?"
"The world's not going to go vegan overnight. People are gradually becoming vegan over time with all these documentaries that are shown these days."

Join Rachel, the keto vegan extraordinaire, as she unveils a creative twist on the classic coleslaw. Dubbed "Burgerslaw," Rachel affectionately labels it her ultimate favourite. Embracing the keto philosophy, she opts for a cabbage mix featuring red, white, and sweetheart varieties, finely shredded to your liking. Departing from the traditional onion and carrots, Rach introduces a keto-friendly medley of vegan Hellmann's mayo, zesty dill, rich tomato puree, garlic paste, tangy mustard, a hint of chilli paste, and a touch of stevia liquid.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The recipe for burger slaw includes shredded cabbage, vegan mayonnaise, tomato puree, garlic paste, mustard, chili paste, and stevia.
The amount of each ingredient can be adjusted to personal preference, but the Rachel recommends starting with more tomato puree, a generous squeeze of mustard, less garlic paste, and a few drops of stevia.
Rachel suggests using a variety of cabbage, such as red cabbage, white cabbage, and sweetheart cabbage, but any type of cabbage can be used.
Carrots are not included in the recipe because they are not keto-friendly.
Rachel encourages listeners to experiment with their own adaptations of the recipe and share their feedback.
BEST MOMENTS
"It's coleslaw, but so much better than coleslaw. It's Burgerslaw. It is this. I love it."
"I used to use just one pack of dill, but I'm really a dill fan. So, I'm going to use three packs”
"You can take off the stems, but because, I mean you're having really chunky cabbage, so what's a bit of chunky dill going to do? Not much at all."
