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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

I have a confession to make, I’m in love with Italy! If I could live anywhere else in the world, it would be Italy. I would go there tomorrow if a few things were right in my life!
This entry on 101 cookbooks inspired me to create a recipe on potato pizza. […]

I love Winter because you can always warm yourself with a nice comforting soup!  This one here is one worth trying for the unique flavours that bring out the borlotti bean themselves.  It has a little hint of paprika, sage and tahini that compliments the borlotti beans and is made delicious with a couple of […]

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, […]

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 […]

These delicious fries are better than the real thing! I was able to find some ready-made polenta in a local supermarket but it’s sooo easy to make that it doesn’t matter if you can’t find it at yours.
I’ve served this with some parmesan crusted asparagus and a vegetarian parmigiana. The whole meal went […]

Although this is quite simple to make, it’s a really enjoyable meal that I wanted to share with you all.  You can make it as a snack for yourself for lunch or get away with serving at a dinner party as some appetisers.
There’s not much preparation at all, as the bruschetta mix can be found […]

This recipe is adapted from Anjum Anand’s, Paneer, mushroom and spinach wrap from Indian Food Made Easy. If you haven’t watched the show, it’s a great series created to show just how easy and simple it is to make your own Indian feasts, rather than getting Indian takeout.
I’d recommend watching the series, as there’s […]
