The Fable

So here’s a true story: a vegetarian, a celebrity chef, and a mushroom geek walked through the woods… (cue ray of light) and discovered a more high five-awesome way to eat.

ant to eat less meat but get a tear in your eye sacrificing your flavour? Well here’s a Fable for you.

Fable is made from Shiitake mushrooms whose dense, fleshy fibres and umami flavours are naturally meat-like. It’s juicy. Meaty. Satisfying. Just don’t call this your regular plant-based meat, because it’s so much more than that.

So go ahead, cheat on meat, we won’t tell. Tuck into simple ingredients, mindfully made – and enjoy umami meaty goodness, sans meat.

Fable Pizza

Unleash your inner Italian. It’s easy enough to make pizza dough, especially with a stand mixer. Then you just need to let it stand a while, developing lots of flavour, while you make a simple garlic butter.

After which, all you have to do is top your base with the butter, some oozy mascarpone and mozzarella, and torn-up Fable for texture and savoury flavour. A quick stint in the oven and you’ve got yourself a piece of pizza heaven.
