These rotis are traditional to Sri Lanka. Unfortunately fresh coconut is used normally, where I’ve had to resort to adapting usually a couple of different coconut-flavoured ingredients to get a similar taste.
My grandmother’s version was a lot thicker from memory and unfortunately I’m afraid to say I love hers better. However, I’ve previously [...]

You may have noticed that I’ve added a poll on the right-hand-side to my site. The reason for this is firstly to understand you, my audience!
The first one was where you were coming from and now I would love to know if you are in fact vegetarian, vegan or just trying to put some [...]

With all the types of mock meats on the market, no vegetarian (or vegan for that matter) has to miss out! These little sausages are made with the Sanitarium brand in Australia, but I’m sure you can find your alternative sausage wherever you come from! I certainly have found alternatives whilst visiting in [...]

As I’ve mentioned before my mum’s side is from Sri Lanka and we’re used to eating curries and spicy foods. One thing I used to be particularly fond of was my nan’s Chicken Curry. Unfortunately, she got Alzheimer’s before passing the recipe on and I was left without my favourite curry.
Being vegetarian has [...]

After a hectic week last week and a mild bug on the weekend, I’m ready for a quiet one! You got an extra special treat on the weekend with the Firey Red Pepper & Arugula Cannelloni, which was entered into the Vegetable Love 08 comp on Fatfree Vegan. This dish is well worth [...]

(Served with a little rocket/arugula, leftover roasted pepper
and dressing of white balsamic vinegar and a good extra virgin oil.)
This week I’ve got an extra special recipe to coincide with Fatfree Vegan Kitchen’s Vegetable Love 2008 competiton. I’ve been concocting this recipe in my head for a couple of days, tweaking the flavours, [...]

Sick of boring salads? Using some warmed ingredients mixed with lettuce and olives this simple salad can also be quite extravagant for a quick brunch with guests.
It uses one of my favourite ingredients, haloumi, a salty cheese that’s great for grilling with some lemon or in a burger with a bit of chilli sauce.  It’s [...]

Burnt butter, is not actually burnt, but butter that has been browned. I’m not sure why they call it burnt because burnt in kitchen turns usually means something unappetizing. But this recipe is certainly far from that fact!
The butter brings the gnocchi and asparagus together melting in your mouth for a gorgeous feast!
Freeze [...]

This light and quick snack for lunch is a great vegetarian option of the traditional BLT (Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato). I’ve placed a few optional steps in here, which are tried and tested. They are great additions, but this photographed version is a simple version with the use of a parmesan-topped roll.

Wow! It’s already the second month in for 2008 and hasn’t it gone fast?
How many of us have stuck to our new year’s resolutions? I’ve certainly kept on the right track at most times with mine… but it is a slow process trying to get fit and lose weight!
Hockey preseason started yesterday [...]
