A few weeks ago I cycled past a house with a table bearing an array of vegetables and a box of eggs. Next to these was a price list and a jar for money. I didn’t have any money on me at the time but ever since going past this house, I’veContinue Reading
Another Delia recipe. She’s one of those annoying chefs who either a) think parmesan is vegetarian; or b) can’t be bothered to state parmesan-style cheese in their recipes. This is one of my pet hates. Parmesan is NEVER vegetarian. If you eat parmesan, you are not vegetarian, unless you considerContinue Reading
Another one from Leith’s Vegetarian Bible tonight, although not a lazy one, as this dish took around an hour to make. As well as blogging my dinner, I’ve somehow been talked into drawing it too. My mountain mate David has started a Facebook group called Draw Your Dinner where peopleContinue Reading
Another cookbook I don’t use that often is Leith’s Vegetarian Bible, although I don’t know why, as it’s great. It has 1000 recipes arranged by vegetable type, so if you’re wondering what to with those leftover mushrooms, just turn to the mushroom section and this book will give you aContinue Reading
This dish is perfect for a Monday evening when you can’t be bothered to spend a lot of time cooking. Quick, easy and delicious. It’s taken from Hansa’s Indian Vegetarian Cookbook: Popular Recipes from Hansa’s Gujarati Restaurant which is a book I can’t say much about – except it hasContinue Reading

Another recipe adapted from the trusty old Good Housekeeping Step by Step Vegetarian Cookbook. According to Anita Bean, there’s no place for pastry in an athlete’s diet, but I haven’t been very athletic lately so I don’t care. And pastry’s nice, innit? I’ll post the original recipe but my adaptationContinue Reading
I am truly a domestic goddess. I know this because I make pizza from scratch, including the dough, and therefore this makes me a domestic goddess. Even if I do make the dough in a bread machine. And even though I can never roll the dough into a circle. AfterContinue Reading
Tonight’s dinner was made from the brilliant Veganomicon. I love this book. This is the only vegan cookbook I’ve ever made anything nice out of, although a lot of the ingredients are items I’d find difficult to get hold of in London, let alone in a small village in Kent.Continue Reading
Back to an old faithful cookbook tonight, the Good Housekeeping Step by Step Vegetarian Cookbook. I’ve never made a bad meal out of it and it has the added bonus of every single dish in it being indexed at the beginning with a colour photograph, along with plenty of colour photographsContinue Reading
