Recipe: Baba Ganoush Soup

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 […]

Recipe: Black Bean Stir Fry Noodles

I was debating whether to post this recipe or not, as the photo itself is not the best.  What I’ve noticed is that I haven’t been able to take a good photo of noodles ever.  No matter what I do they never turn out!  However, it doesn’t mean that it lacks in the flavour!

Recipe: Shitake & Vegie Bacon Risotto

I have the sachets of quick microwave rice dishes to thank for this simple and easy risotto meal today.  The risotto is half cooked already and on the back of the packaging has a recipe to make a simple risotto in ten minutes in the pot.  Whilst I didn’t want the recipe on the back, […]

Recipe: Chickpea Burger for one

Who wants a boring salad every day for lunch? Certainly not me!
Having Good Friday off and with a little time up my sleeve, I pondered into my stocks and grabbed a can of chickpeas. I thought a nice burger would be great and not impact the calories too much, as the ingredients together […]

Recipe: Sausage & Fetta Spirals

Having a couple of sausages left over from the weekend (as my mum made too much food as per usual when we have parties) I came up with the idea of combining the sausages in a pasta.
The following recipe uses these in a great pasta dish with fetta, olives and parsley. It’s a nice […]

Recipe: Spicy Vegan Sausages

When trying to come up with something for my dad’s party for myself to eat. I looked at some various vegan sites for ideas. I did look at the Vegan Ribs by Susan V as suggested by reader Jamie, however Julie Hasson’s sausages took my eye at the same time and I came […]
