Sweet-toothed diners have also been taken care of, with the range’s Victoria Sponge cake, which it says is ‘perfect for sharing’.
For full vegan meals, plant-based shoppers need look no further than the store’s revamped Plant Kitchen Green Thai Curry, which boasts sweet potatoes, edamame soybeans and Tenderstem broccoli in a coconut, ginger and lime curry, served with jasmine rice.
Another ready meal option is the new Stonebaked Vegan Chicken and Pepper Pizza, topped with tomato sauce, herb chicken and grilled peppers.

‘So proud’
In a statement sent to Vegan Food & Living, Marie Ford, M&S Product Developer, says: “We are so proud of our launches for Plant Kitchen this January!
“When we’re developing products we make sure customers never compromise on taste, and the product is just as good as or BETTER than its non-vegan equivalent.
“That’s why the product I’m most excited about is our ‘Nduja paste. It took 20 weeks to develop, and it was a real challenge as we wanted it to get that perfect balance of flavours so it is as delicious as a non-vegan ‘Nduja pasta, and I’m happy to say we NAILED IT.
“It is perfect for adding spicy and smoky depth to any dish, I recommend stirring a spoonful into your favourite pasta and sauce for an EPIC dinner!”
