Not like a cow out in the garden because we’ve run out of food but with the box I got delivered from graze.com today.  You can design your own box for when you get an attack of the munchies and want something healthier than a KitKat (or in my case,Continue 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

Today I decided to be brave and venture once again into the strange and mysterious realm of vegan cheese and make myself some vegan cheese on toast with some of the melting mozzarella Cheezly I have left after testing some on the pizza I made the other day.  Because itContinue 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

Another one from a cookbook I haven’t used for years – The Essential Vegetarian Cookbook.  The beans will counteract any unhealthyness in the vegetarian parmesan-style cheese (which I get in a block from Sainsburys, much nicer than the tasteless stuff in a pot), won’t it?  This went down so well withContinue Reading

I seem to be having themed meals recently.  The week before last was Italian (home made pizza, sweet potato & mushroom lasagne, mushroom & asparagus pasta); last week was Mexican (white bean chili, spicy bean enchiladas) and now this week seems to be taking on a Quorn theme as onContinue Reading

As much as I love cheese, after last week’s cheese-covered meals, I go through my cookbooks looking for an appetising cheese-less recipe and I pick up The Complete Vegetarian Cookbook that I haven’t used for years and I see this recipe and think ok, that looks healthy, it’s got beansContinue Reading
