My good Israeli friend Einav turned vegan and mentioned that she had changed my recipe for  a pear and chocolate loaf into vegan banana bread. I was wary when she mentioned the recipe, but I must admit that it’s delicious. I tweaked it slightly and all the people I made it for could not believe had no eggs in it. The key is to whisk it thoroughly. Spelt flour gives it a nutty flavour but you could use regular flour instead if you prefer. Method: Preheat the oven to 180C fan.

Serves: Makes: 2 large or 4 latkesShare some latke love with these cute hearts.  These are delicious plain, and even better spiced up with turmeric and ginger. Get them party ready with shiny pearls of salmon roe or stick with simply sliced smoked salmon. Method: Coarsely grate the potatoes and onion using a grater or a food processor using the coarse grater disc. Mix in a sieve over a bowl, squeezing well to get rid of as much excess liquid as possible.

Get your five-a–day with these fantastic fritters. Allow extra time for marinating your veg before frying. Method: Wash the vegetables and pat dry. Add the soya and ginger to the eggs. Add the vegetables and mix. Ideally marinate for a few hours or overnight in the fridge, or at least for 30 minutes. When ready to fry, set out two dishes - one of panko crumbs and one of beaten egg. Roll each vegetable first in panko crumbs, then the egg and again in the panko, for an extra crispy finish.
