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 […]

I’ve been getting bored of my usual vegetarian pasta dishes and so I had a little bit of a look around for some ideas, when I thought of making a Milanese-style pasta instead of risotto.

Image: Vegan hot dog in a not-so-vegan bread roll and tasty cheese.
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 […]

This first attempt isn’t that bad, although I’d […]

Are you getting a bit bored with your usual pasta dishes?  This recipe might just do the trick in renewing your interest in pasta by removing the normal tomato base and adding in some nuts!

As you get older, I’ve noticed that your taste changes! Why I’m saying this is because there’s some certain vegetables which I used to not be able to eat, but now can. Don’t get me wrong, there’s still some you will probably never find me making recipes for on this blog - cauliflower […]
