Slimming World Friendly Recipes
Adapting normal recipes to be healthier
Hello! 👋🏼
I’m a 30-something Londoner and part-time vegan, usually found travelling, cooking and photographing food.
I’m a full-time content creator by day, and though I don’t like social media, I created an anonymous instagram account the day I joined slimming world in 2022. My instagram account was meant to be just for myself, an online food diary and a place for me to mindlessly scroll through to be reminded of meals I loved for inspiration. I wasn’t expecting to grow the account, or even gain any followers, but to my surprise, I have amassed just under 1500 followers in a short space of time.
Over the past year, I have discovered many other accounts from people who are all on the same journey, doing the same thing. I often get asked for recipes and have some saved to my highlights.
I had a lightbulb moment the other day, and thought, why not create a blog; Tofu Tales – which funnily enough, is exactly what I do in my day job! Talk about taking my sweet time.

Indian Inspired Syn Free Lasagne Recipe
Lasagne is one of those truly indulgent dishes that is always guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser. I was recently reminded that I haven’t cooked a lasagne for years and I think that’s largely down to it traditionally not being very slimming world friendly. It is quite difficult to find a way to make a…

Mexican Style Loaded Fries with Vegan Chicken Mince
I can give or take loaded fries as a side dish, but as a complete meal, when home made? Sign. Me. Up. There’s something about freshly cooked loaded fries, before the chips at the bottom have a chance to become soggy that really appeals to me. I’m not a fan of loaded fries on the…

Roasted New Potato And Lentil Salad With Herb Dressing
This roasted French inspired new potato and lentil salad, and a herby dressing is a far cry from the standard mayo-filled (syn-filled) potato salad we all know. This one however, is packed with protein instead of fat with the combination of puy lentils and spinach. The potato adds the carb element, which in my opinion…

Gluten Free, SYN FREE Pizza!!
I cannot believe this recipe for a syn free pizza actually worked. Not only did it work, it tasted absolutely incredible – bit of a faff to make, but something I will DEFINITELY be making again. Italians, please look away now! Now I’m not really one for a fancy pizza. To me, pizza is just…

Tarka Daal Recipe
I went through a phase of buying the M&S tarka daal weekly, when I was home alone and couldn’t be bothered to cook for one. This was obviously well before my slimming world journey started and let me tell you, as an Indian person.. that is a huge compliment to M&S! I’ve never been one…

Crunchy Red Cabbage Fried Noodles Recipe
Red cabbage is one of those vegetables I buy for something specific and then have no other use for it. So it sits around in my fridge for weeks on end, until I get to the point of wondering whether to bin it, or stir-fry it. I love red cabbage fried noodles, simply for the…

Turkish Restaurant Style Bulgur Pilav Recipe
I have always loved bulgur pilav in Turkish restaurants but never realised how easy it is to make at home, until recently. Thanks to the likes of TikTok, where I pretty much just follow food accounts; I’ve seen people make this so many times, I decided it was time for me to give it a…

Hoisin Vegan Duck Sushi Bowl Recipe
If you know me, you’ll know I adore a sushi bowl. A vegan duck sushi bowl takes this to a whole new level. Technically, I adore sushi – but the last time I attempted to make that myself was a royal disaster, so deconstructed sushi at home it is from now on.. simply throw in…

Roast Vegetable Pasta Bake Recipe
I recently threw together this quick roast vegetable pasta bake in an attempt to use up as much veg in my fridge as possible, before I went on holiday. Granted, it wasn’t my finest work – I should have undercooked the pasta slightly so that it didn’t overcook when I baked it. Ah, hindsight is…
