I can’t believe how simple this is to make and how it totally transforms tofu. I could eat this as sweets, it’s that good. All you need to do is press your tofu (I used the one made by Cauldron Foods), marinate it in whatever you fancy (I used equalContinue Reading
I’d spent a long time pondering over whether to buy The Gentle Chef Cookbook, mostly because it’s self-published and I’m a still a bit snobby in that respect. I needn’t have worried though as the book is amazing. It’s beautifully laid out and produced and just as professional as anyContinue Reading
When Jamie Oliver first appeared in the public eye, I found him seriously annoying. All that mockney cockney cheeky chappie Essex wideboy stuff got right on my wick. Over the years, however, I’ve grown to like him. Unlike a lot of other ‘celebrity’ chefs, he seems to have remained theContinue Reading
I’d printed this seitan piccata recipe from the Post Punk Kitchen website a while back and finally got round to making it. I’d run out of capers and didn’t use any wine as wine belongs in a glass, not a saucepan, and although it didn’t look like any other piccataContinue Reading
When I went to Vegfest London last year, my bag was nowhere near big enough to cram full with all the veggie stuff I wanted to buy – although I gave it a good go – so this year I’m going to be prepared and take a rucksack with me.Continue Reading

I made these mini cheesecakes after spotting the recipe while browsing the Minimalist Baker blog. I ate the first one straight from the freezer and while it was okay, it wasn’t amazing. So, today, after taking one out of the freezer, I let it defrost and soften before eating itContinue Reading
I know I’m not alone when I say I’ve never been able to make hummus as nice as the ones in the supermarket. Until now, that is. I was browsing the Minimalist Baker website yesterday and stumbled across their microwave hummus recipe. They reckoned it was the best ever hummusContinue Reading
I wanted to make some seitan yesterday but couldn’t muster up the motivation to do all that kneading and stuff. So, I wondered if I could just bung all the ingredients in the bread machine and let that do all the work for me instead. And, guess what – itContinue Reading
Yesterday’s lunch juice was a smoothie made of pineapple and apple juice blended with banana and yoghurt. I’ve run out of apples though and I wasn’t going to dirty the juicer just to juice a bit of pineapple, so I blended pineapple, banana, raspberries and soya yoghurt to make thisContinue Reading
