Vegetarian weekly shop
Built around protein first, which is where a vegetarian shop usually goes wrong: buy the pulses, tofu and eggs deliberately and the vegetables follow easily.

Questions people ask
- How do you get enough protein?
- Pulses at two meals, eggs or dairy at one, and something concentrated — tofu, tempeh, nuts — at another. Buying it first is what makes it happen.
- How do you avoid cooking the same thing every week?
- Change the flavour base, not the ingredients. The same chickpeas go Indian, Moroccan or Italian depending on four items in the spice cupboard.
