Vegetarian - what does this mean?
To all those chefs and restaurant owners, vegetarian is derived from Vegetables. This does not mean you can add chicken, beef, lamb or fish or bi-product. No living animal is not in the Vegetable food group the last time I checked!
I’m sick of being asked or having restaurants assume [...]

This is a variation from the Spicy Eggplant dish available here. The sweet potato was an afterthought but it actually tastes quite good in this dish.

salt
white pepper

I kid you not, [...]

Not only is this quite different, but very crunchy and delicious! It [...]

I made this a couple of weeks ago playing with the bechamel sauce.  I didn’t actually realise that bechamel sauce wasn’t actually derived from cheese…who would’ve thought?
From that statement above, you can imagine that this is my first time making lasagne.  Yes, I’m a lasagne virgin..you would think being vegetarian I would have made a [...]
