I made something healthy, hurrah! Okay, so I served it with a most definitely unhealthy homemade vegan garlic bread but the thought was there. This vegan aubergine and chickpea penne is a dish I’ve made before but I’m going to post it again because it’s Veganuary and, as you mightContinue Reading
Veganuary Day 19 I’ve been slacking off my breakfast Nutriblasts recently and the 19th of Veganuary was no exception. A side effect of slacking off breakfast means hunger kicks in mid-morning and today when the munchies kicked in, my healthy choices got pushed aside in favour of the vegan cake that’s on theContinue Reading
This vegan Brooklyn Pad Thai from Vegan with a Vengeance by Isa Chandra Moskowitz is a dish I’ve made many times. You have all heard of Isa, haven’t you? She’s the Queen of Vegan and if you haven’t heard of her, check out the Post Punk Kitchen website. Isa admits in VWAV thisContinue Reading
I may not know whether they do any good or not but I do like to add superfoods to my smoothies. Except for spirulina – there’s just no disguising the rancid taste or smell of that stuff. I’m happy to say the acai berry powder Selva Organic sent me neither smellsContinue Reading
Hallelujah – I cooked something that wasn’t stodge! This vegan leek, mushroom and spinach tart is something I’ve cooked before, at least a variation of, anyway. Usually when I make it, I cover it in cheese, like I’ve done previously on my leek, mushroom and goat’s cheese tart, mushroom, leek andContinue Reading
If you’ve been following my journey through Veganuary so far, you’d be forgiven for thinking I’ve turned into a junk food vegan. And I’d have to forgive you for thinking that because, apart from my Nutriblasts/smoothies, my Veganuary diet has been – to be blunt – shit. Even if myContinue Reading
The Meat Eater had no idea what to make on Sundays during Veganuary. His usual Sunday meals are omelette and chips or burger and chips or hot dog and chips. Obviously omelettes are out (no way would he make one or eat one made from chickpea flour) and although we hadContinue Reading
Saturday nights are perfect for pizzas and, although Papa John’s original crust pizza bases are vegan and I could order one without cheese, why bother when I can make my own vegan pizza at home and save about £15? And especially why spend all that money when I loved theContinue Reading
First, I need to share with you the vegan tofush and chips (also known as tofish) I made last night – it was so amazing (even if I do say so myself). As Friday night is chippy night and I usually have battered halloumi, I thought, as it’s Veganuary, I’dContinue Reading
Veganuary Day 6 and I haven’t leapt face-first with my mouth open into the cheese counter at Tesco because of any overwhelming cheese-addiction withdrawal pangs – hurrah! Not that I was expecting to; although, seeing as I’ve used Violife vegan cheese three times already during Veganuary, you’d be forgiven for thinking I’ve got aContinue Reading
