These cheesy pockets are absolutely fantastic for a packed lunch or picnic food. They are super easy to put together and they are ideal for hot summer days. The Mushroom Burger goes so well with the cashew cheese, and we love adding lots of raw veggies to add a burst of fresh flavour. Recipe lovingly created by Happy Skin Kitchen.
