Recipe: Coconut “Beef” Curry

The following recipe was inspired by last month’s Delicious magazine that had a Indian feature.  It’s a beautiful curry dish using your own roasted spices to make the meal.  The recipe that inspired this was the “Coconut Lamb Curry.”  I’ve swapped a few of the ingredients and used fake meat for the beef.
The great thing [...]

Recipe: “Chicken” Noodle Soup

This recipe comes just at the time for most in Australia I bet, and for me, it is just what I need at the moment. I’ve just started back at work and I have caught the dreaded cold off my workmates! What luck do I have? So this Vegetarian version of the [...]

Having trouble getting your children to eat their greens? This might just help them enjoy it!
Slicing some brussel sprouts thin, adding some broccoli and frying it up with some fresh breadcrumbs and some tasty spices just might do the trick!  The lemon adds a little zing with a little spice of chilli, creates a nice [...]

Recipe: Mushroom Curry

I had been craving a nice and spicy Goan Mushroom Curry, whilst trying to make one, I swerved onto my own creation and this was the delightful result.
Instead of a creamy dish, I came up with a mixture of a fresh chilli, ginger and garlic with mushrooms.  It’s a light and spicy vegan version that [...]

Recipe: Tomato and Onion Salad

On sultry nights here in Melbourne at the moment, this refreshing salad really hits the spot.
The tomato and onion salad usually is accompanied with curries in Sri Lankan and some Indian cultures.  I know it’s something that is definitely made when we’re having a curry feast!  However, I’ve also seen my true Aussie Grandmother (she’s [...]

Recipe: Stuffed Mushroom

This stuffed mushroom is a little different to the one I’ve recently made as it uses no breadcrumbs, legumes or grains.  This is totally vegan using only a couple of ingredients to flavour and spice up the meal!
The great thing about this also is it’s very low in calories making a great meal for those [...]

Recipe: Saffron-spiced Lentil Rice

Last week I found out that due to an injury on my shoulder playing hockey in November, I’m required to have surgery.  The surgery will mean that I’m out of action for work and sport.  I could be out of sport for 6-9 months, which is quite scary! My arm is in a sling for [...]

Recipe: Broccoli Pesto Pasta

This weekend I’ve been spending my time looking at houses.  I’m nearly ready to buy my own house with a great kitchen and can’t wait.  Our Government has increased the first home buyer’s grants but it looks like it won’t do much good because houses are going up at the same time.  I’ll have to [...]

Recipe: Creamy Coconut & Chickpea Rice

This recipe here was made up after not knowing what I was going to have for tea.
I’m a big fan of the thai coconut rice and decided that I would combine this style of rice with an all-in-one curry.  It’s a delicious vegan dish with chickpeas, mushrooms and lots of spice that’s easy to make.  [...]

Recipe: Bhaji Burgers

These easy to make burgers are absolutely delicious with a little tomato kasoundi or chilli chutney.  Using a little besan flour and some cooked vegies, these make a mean indian burger.
The burgers are vegan and what’s great about them is that they are a great base for any type of burger.  Next week, I’ll post [...]
