I do like the meat textures to go with my vegies or in a burger - who can resist? I’ve used the recipe from Veganomicon to make a four bean mix cutlet. I followed a similar recipe but changed the beans used and herbs. I guess as is, it’s not my cup […]

Image: Tomato soup with some spicy chilli paste and a dollop of cream.
Need a warm-me-up for the footy or your local sporting event? This one tomato soup will definitely do the trick with a smack of chilli just to spice it up!
Any traditional tomato soup will do, but I think this one is made […]

I’ve been getting bored of my usual vegetarian pasta dishes and so I had a little bit of a look around for some ideas, when I thought of making a Milanese-style pasta instead of risotto.
The pasta uses exactly the same base as the risotto dish, but uses a large pasta. The great thing about […]

There’s one thing I love is hot dogs, especially in batter, and, although in Australia, Sanitarium make a great version, I really do want to try and make one from scratch.  This isn’t quite there yet, but this hot dog (withouth the colouring) has […]

I’ve started to do a little more fake meat type dishes and this on this week is a take on the hot dog. It’s not completely perfect, but it’s a great alternative for those vegans who really miss the hot dog.
Also, on the menu is the pasta alternative to risotto alla milanese. If […]

Who can’t resist waking up to crusty bread, spread with butter and fresh marmalade?
I guess when you’re a child, it’s not very appealing but for those a little older it’s […]

Image: Baba Ganoush Soup served with a dollop of tahini.
Why do dips just need to be a snack? When’s something is that good, I like to try and find ways to turn them into something else without sabotaging the traditional flavours intended.  This traditionally Middle-Eastern dip, Baba Ganoush is just tha.  I’ve been able […]

When you hear olive tapenade the first thing that comes to mind is whether it’s vegetarian or vegan for that matter! This one is definitely made for both. The usual tapenade consists of anchovies, which even to those who do eat meat, you either like it or you don’t!
This is a simple […]

I’ve been a little under the weather this week, but managed to come up with some new treats anyway. Some of these I’ve had in mind for a while, but haven’t done anything about. All of these ideas and all my recipes are kept in a notebook. I believe it’s the best […]

Currently I’m trying to perfect the Vegan Steak.  I’ve been researching the ingredients and various steaks made by manufacturer’s to get an idea of what goes in them and they appear to be quite easy to work out.   The problem is, getting the consistency and look and feel.
This first attempt isn’t that bad, although I’d […]
