Sweet Potato and Satay Curry

Not known for my love of Vegan food, I suppose it’s because I have never bothered to prepare it myself and if I go out for a meal it’s certainly something that I wouldn’t order. Having said that if you read our  article on Vegan Michelin Stars, I may be persuaded. I certainly don’t want to fall into the age-old trap of  “I’ve never tried it ’cause I don’t like it!”
