1. Pass the pasties
Cauliflower and leek get a cheesy fix in these pasties. Perfect for anyone uncertain about cauliflower or simply for those who love cheese - especially when it's wrapped in a crunchy cheesy crust!

2. Battered up
Fritters are a sure thing - carrot, ginger and basil take to the plate and lift this team's batter-ing average, thanks to the last minute addition of light beer.

3. Gnocch-it out of the park
Fun to make and scrumptious to eat, this homemade baked gnocchi combines pumpkin, tomatoes and spinach for a delicious and nutritious meal, made all the more fun by being served in individual dishes.

4. It's an impasta
This hearty dish is comfort food 101. It’s flavoured with basil, red pepper paste, tomato paste and to offset any squirmish lentil faces, the hand-cut noodles should do the trick.

5. Greece's answer to lasagne
Moussaka is Greece’s answer to lasagne, but without the pasta and this vegetarian version takes it one step further by replacing the meat with lentils. The flavours work a treat and it’s just as hearty, so serve it to one and all and see if anyone notices the difference.

6. Keep on wafflin'
These waffles are ideal for a quick supper, unexpected lunch guests and even a cocktail party nibble (cut into small portions). Top with anything you like, including creamed chicken, sauteed mushrooms or tomato sauce. The recipe doubles easily and the batter can be used for pancakes as well.

7. Sneak your broccoli in
The classic Spanish tortilla is packed with potato and combined with egg. This version does that and also adds a little broccoli to the mix. Let's just say this is perfect picnic fare and the family will love it!

8. The beet goes on...
This vibrant tart takes the idea of American pumpkin pie and puts a beet spin on things. The beests give it an amazing, deep colour and flavour.

9. Carrot cake undercover
The combination of carrot and parsnip with the coconut flour gives this cake a unique, surprisingly light, texture. Sweetened with dates and rice malt syrup, this vegan dessert, is also a gluten-free cake, dairy-free delight, morning tea sensation and a refined sugar-free star. Your buds won't know what hit them!

10. Pump those beets
Beetroot and chocolate are great partners. These brownies have a real decadence about them, with a great fudgy texture grounded by the earthy flavour of the beetroot. They're sneaky and sweet...
