Courgette and Spinach Soup

Ever Tried Black Garlic?

You know you’ve got a cooking problem when you see some new random ingredient in the supermarket and you just have to have it! I came across this the other day whilst looking for fennel seeds (keep an eye out for an excellent soup recipe coming soon) and I just couldn’t resist. It’s garlic that’s [...]

A Home Made Christmas

I have a tiny flat. No room for anything superfluous, including Christmas decorations. I like them, but after using them for a month where would I put them? And I don’t want to buy them and throw them away each year. That’d be expensive, and wasteful. So this year I decided to make my own [...]

Chocolate Banana Brownies

This is it for me, a whole new level in my vegan cooking experience. These little beauties are so good, so moist, and so damn ‘fudgey’ I couldn’t be more pleased with them if I tried. Seriously, they are the culmination of my cooking abilities to date, and I am very alright with that. 1 [...]

Pancake Day 2011

Of course you don’t need an excuse to make pancakes, but it’s nice to have a reminder. Now I’ve made mine early this year, as I’m working ’til late on the 8th, and I won’t [...]

Comfort Food

Man, it’s been one of those days. Not only did I have to get up before 6am to go do 12 hours at a job I see no value in, but I had to put up with the useless bitching and moaning of my ‘colleagues’ who desperately wanted to drag me into their pathetic little [...]

Still ill :(

Well, I thought the flu had abated, but it’s back as a tickly cough that’s settled itself comfortably in my chest and looks like it’ll be there for a while. So annoying being ill. There’s so much I want to do and it’s getting in the way. Could be a lot worse though. Just reading [...]
