About

I love burgers, but it’s hard to have a burger recipe in here that’s not just ‘meat-free burger’, with ‘vegan cheese’, and ‘vegan veganing alternatives’. So, here’s my burger, one that’s different from what you’re used to, and one that you’ll go away from at the end of this recipe thinking, ‘THAT WAS ACTUALLY A BANGING BURGER’. It’s all in the burger sauce. Also, there is not a recipe for chips in here, but there is a video on my Instagram page on how to make the best chips as a compromise.
