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 […]

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 have to say that my last few soups have probably been some of the best I’ve tried. The carrot and chickpea was a treat but this one also […]

Before heading to the Western Bulldogs match against St.Kilda for a great win, my parents and I headed to Greco in Crown Casion for dinner. This place is always banked back with queues to get in and I always thought it was because of the grand display of cakes and desserts on offer, but, […]

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!

This meal is a take on the Spanish Chorizo, Bacon and Potato tapas.  Using the combination in a pasta with some parmesan is a good combination of protein and carbohydrates.  To allow for a vegan version, use some vegan cheese or omit it altogether.
This version has been lowered in calories by steaming the potatoes before […]

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 […]

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 […]

Following from the chickpea batter mushrooms, it gave me the idea for this warmed tempeh salad. Tempeh is quite a unique flavour which is made a little spicy with the chickpea batter. It’s quite a flavourful dish that also as a bonus, is vegan!
The tempeh battered up could easily be eaten on […]
