More Luscious Vegan Lunches – CousCous and Roasted Veggies
I wanted an alternative to sandwiches for lunch and decided to have some time off the bread, and mostly because I needed some variety. If you’re looking for a gluten free alternative to cous cous, then substitute quinoa. I did it the previous week with some green lentils and quinoa, but it was so much Read the Rest…
The food of vegan gods! Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Brownies
The only thing I would change about this recipe is adding more chocolate, but I have a slight addiction to chocolate. This is very easy to make, very moist and has a whole range of textures in there, especially if you use crunchy peanut butter as I did. I did actually eat 4 while they Read the Rest…
Spicy Bean Burgers – that look surprisingly like cookies
I try to avoid the manufacturer fake meat products because you never know how much rubbish goes into them to create that ‘fake meat’ taste so making these burgers was great, especially as they were so easy and made from things that are easy to keep in stock. I took photos and the mixture looks Read the Rest…
Fruit Crumble – Easy and delicious dessert for everyone! (Including vegans of course)
So this is not so much a recipe as instructions for the easiest but very wholesome favourite that happens to be suitable for vegans as well. Its bit of a cheat because a huge chunk of it involves cheating…but you can have all the ingredients waiting for you, and pull it together pretty quickly and Read the Rest…
Brilliantly Beautiful Blueberry Muffins – try and stop yourself from eating these bad boys!
I know I have posted before about muffins, but honestly my attempts thusfar have not been as impressive as these bad boys, and so its worth sharing. I made them quickly this morning before I had a visit from some family, so they were cooking away nicely when they arrived, making me seem like a Read the Rest…
Happy Easter! Vegan Hot Cross Buns – or bums as I spelt it earlier – stupid ipod
I couldn’t take the smell of hot cross buns at Morrisons anymore, so decided to have a go at it myself…I was pleasantly surprised although they are not as soft as from the supermarket, and could double as weapons if thrown with enough force. Be warned, if you see me carrying hot cross buns not Read the Rest…
Do you know the Muffin….Lady? Vegan Chocolate Chip and Berry Muffin effort
Made with some ingredients commonly found in the home! Inspired by a tweep (@xVeganBaker) I decided to have a go at baking some muffins, partly as therapy to separate my work day from the evenings study, quite therapeutic time out…and most importantly with the ingredients that I already had at home. Thankfully next week I Read the Rest…
St Paddy’s Day Recipe
For one reason or another I have missed out on St Paddy’s day celebrations for the last couple of years, which is probably just as well, casting my mind back to a messy saturday in London some years ago. Well, at least this year I cannot blame changing my diet for missing out on one Read the Rest…
Shrove Tuesday/Pancake Day – the vegan way (i.e. pancakes like duvets)
Brief explanation for my non British friends…Shrove Tuesday falls the day before Ash Wednesday which we mark by having pancakes, lots of ‘em! The idea was to clear out all the goodies (or baddies depending on your perspective) from the larder, in preparation for fasting over the lent period. This included eggs, milk, sugar, etc Read the Rest…
Staple Convenience Food – who’s for soup?
You might think of convenience food as being prepackaged, sandwiches, ready meals and fast food – but soup has been my number one convenience food over the last few months. Its really easy to make with a few key ingredients (and a blender) and frozen, chilled, reheated…and pretty darn healthy. You can get really creative Read the Rest…
Sandwich Solutions – Grilled Aubergine slices and Mushroom Pate
One of the first challenges I faced, on changing my diet, was sorting my lunch menu out. Traditional sandwich fillings are meat, egg, cheese, and even if its a salad its laced with butter and smothered in mayo. I have started to use a few example alternatives already, and plan to expand…so here’s the first Read the Rest…
