Tubby Tryptych

I’m beginning to see why I’m getting a little thick round the middle at the moment.         And that’s just in the last 10 days! ..lol..

Shortbread

Don’t want to blow my own trumpet, but this is a damn fine recipe! Honestly, I’m having to restrain myself from scarfing down the whole batch right now, they’re that good! I wish you could all come round and have some to see what I’m talking about. Guess you’ll just have to settle for giving [...]

An all round update

Ok, so where is everything at the moment? First off, I’ve decided not to do the food blog idea (for the moment). I mean I’m hardly keeping this one up to date, so if I started another one that’d just be two blogs I’m not doing. But I am still cooking and I am still [...]

Vegan MoFo : Tofu Cheesecake pt 2

Just a quickie for Vegan MoFo (the Vegan Month of Food). This is a slice of a double quantity cheesecake I made from the recipe I did the other week. It was, quite simply, doubly delicious, and all for the same amount of effort! I had to cook it for 40-45 mins rather than the [...]

Garlicky Green Salad

Ok, confession time, I totally nicked this from the coffee shop on the high road. They sell it as a cold salad in a tub, but it tastes just as good warm with Shepherd’s Pie (as pictured). 1 courgette, sliced 1 head of broccoli, decapitated 1 cup sugar snap peas 1 tbsp olive oil 3-4 [...]

Makes 18. 125g vegan margarine (at room temperature) 125g unrefined cane sugar egg replacer to equal 1 egg 150g plain flour 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda [...]

Cottage Pie

This is a tasty little winter warmer (I know, it’s the middle of summer!) that’s great served up with some greens. Also damn good for you, what with all the veggies and lentils. An all round treat. 1 onion, chopped 2 carrots, peeled and sliced 3 mushrooms, sliced 50g peas (approx 2 tbsp) 1/2 cup [...]

Week 26: In which our hero sorts himself out (a bit)

Ok, I’m a bit late with my report this week. No excuse really. I’m just having a bit of trouble keeping track of time at the moment. Maybe it’s the summer days, maybe it’s the lack of markers (I’ve been spectacularly un-busy these past few weeks), but life had just been slipping me by. I’ll [...]

Kiki’s Sweet and Spicy Quinoa Salad

This is a surprisingly sweet and tasty little concoction, inspired by the recipe for Piyadassi Purnahana from the excellent book Buddhist Peace Recipes. If you haven’t got it check it out. Not all the recipes are vegan, but the ones that are are fantastic, and the rest you can adapt fairly easily. 1 yellow/orange bell [...]
