With their soft, pillowy texture and sweet taste, there’s a good reason why marshmallows have been enjoyed since as early as 2000 BC. Main courses are what you could call hearty – I vastly underestimated how much biryani with pulled mushrooms (which come in dark brown, lamb-like lumps) would arrive, accompanied by plum tomato shorba, cardamom raita, cucumber sambol and an enormo-poppadom bigger than my head. A beetroot tempeh burger was equally generous, with a pile of onion rings, slaw, cherry tomato relish and guajillo chilli mayo. It was all very good, sure, but if you go big on the small plates beforehand, I’d advise you take some Tupperware.

Traditional recipes used the viscous juice from the roots of the marsh mallow plant, Althaea officinalis. Sometimes referred to as the marshmallow plant or the marsh-mallow plant, this flowering plant can be foraged in the UK and is indigenous to Europe, as well as parts of Africa and Asia. It is a member of the Malvaceae family, which also includes cotton and cacao and has long been used in herbal medicine. No matter what recipe is used, almost all of the marshmallow’s calories and most of its mass will be made up of sugar.

These really are an excellent vegan product so if you love toasting marshmallows or dipping them in vegan chocolate fear not!Where vegan marshmallows differ is that rather than use egg protein to stabilise the bubbles that create the required pillow-like texture or gelatine to set them, they use alternative plant-based ingredients. Different gelling agents such as agar or carrageenan (both derived from seaweed), or carob bean gum are often used, whilst various combinations of plant-derived starches and proteins are added to complete the recipe.
