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 […]

Recipe: Vegan Hot Dogs

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 […]

Recipe: Kumquat Marmalade

Updated: This has just been awarded the weekly winner of the Golden Gnome award for “Best Snack/Dessert” on Make Me Hungry’s flickr group. View here.

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 […]

Recipe: Baba Ganoush Soup

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: Vegan Steak

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 […]

Recipe: Potato, Corn and Leek Soup

I asked my mum what she’d like for soup this week and she said potato and leek. Not that I have anything against a traditional potato and leek soup, but I’ve made a couple and wanted something unique! So the challenge was to try and make something a little different and […]

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 […]

Recipe: Italian Meatballs

Last week, I had an idea to make some italian meatballs on pasta and, although they turned out a little like hamburgers, they tasted quite good and I reckon worthy of putting up. Not only can these meatballs be used in this dish, but tried on their own as a burger. They’ve got a little […]

Recipe: Chickpea & Carrot Soup

This lovely soup has been made twice in two weeks, as I enjoyed it so much. The carrot and chickpeas blend in well, providing a lovely thick soup to have with some crusty bread.
It’s relatively easy to make by just adding all your ingredients and blending or mashing afterwards!
There’s a couple of ingredients that […]

Recipe: Lemon, Spinach & Lentil Soup

We’ve got a whole lot of lemons here at home and rather than waste these. I’m coming up with some unique ways to use these in meals. It uses the whole lemon boiled down to a mushy consistency.
This soup here is definitely unique because of this and also very delicious.   Just be […]
