Happy Halloween, sparklebugs! ♥••*´¨`*•.☆• You know what this means? We made it through Vegan MoFo, HURRAY!!! I hope you enjoyed it as much as we crazy bloggers loved bringing it to you. It was my first time participating and I had a blast! 21 posts in 31 days, countless experiments, a whole […] Read more…
The fact that it was almost 2pm on a Friday and the place was packed should have been the giveaway. As I jostled my way to the counter to peruse the menu and place my order, the wait staff were friendly and attentive. With enthusiasm they called the Chef in to consult on vegan […] Read more…
Now it wouldn’t be Vegan MoFo without a vegan getting all wild and crazy and throwing all the vegan staples – hummus, tofu and pesto – into a single dish, would it? It’s just mad enough to work and by joves, work it does! Hummus gives a lovely earthy texture and flavour whilst tofu […] Read more…
You know those great girlfriends you have that you may not catch up with all the time (where does the time go, where?) but when you do it’s like no time passed at all? I rounded up two of mine on Sunday. After a crazy fun catch up, we treated ourselves to Gold Class […] Read more…
I know what you’re thinking. ‘Good grief! Somebody just buy this woman a flight to Mexico, already!’ And I would like you to know that I am totally open to all forms of bribery, corruption and gifts in any shape or form. No questions asked. (I’m kidding, Big Brother, just relax). I’ve been to […] Read more…
Happy Meat-Free Monday, everyone! I kept the Tex-Mex theme going this week because, well… why wouldn’t you? It’s so easy to make and so much fun it makes every night feel like a fiesta. Big and small kids alike love building their own tacos at the dinner table and when delicious fillings ooze from […] Read more…
Were you SO excited to make Antipasto Tarts for your favourite people yesterday that you ran out and bought wayyy too much antipasto and now have heaps left over? Never fear! If it’s the weekend, you could transform it into a piping hot Antipasto Pizza. If it’s a weekday, you’re trying to keep it healthy, right? […] Read more…
A friend and I saw Immaturi, il Viaggio at the Italian Film Festival on Tuesday night: Wickedly amusing and filled with food, antics, friends and fun, it reminded me of the Italian Antipasto Tarts I made a little while ago for dinner parties for friends and family. Both times the tarts were the most […] Read more…
I love how Thai restaurants in Australia (or everywhere?) have such kooky names. Any restaurant that can get me giggling before I even enter their premises is a winner in my book. It doesn’t get much more zany than ‘Thailicious’, and the fact that they’re located in Northbridge was enough to get me giggling […] Read more…
Oops! Two days without a post! But please don’t kick me out of Vegan MoFo just yet – I have a 3-in-1 recipe bonanza for you today! It’s no secret that my favourite food is Tex-Mex. I LOVE the stuff but why do so many Mexican Restaurants seem to get it so wrong? Bland, microwaved, […] Read more…
Good things come in threes, especially when it involves dessert. It is therefore with a huge, sparkly grin that I announce that hot on the heels of the success of Mum’s Amazing Vegan Carrot Cake and Melting Moments, my gorgeous Mum is back with another delicious treat for your weekend! Inspired by a photo she spotted […] Read more…
I had a Shrek-sized craving for green food tonight. Maybe it’s because I attended Perth Green Drinks last night to hear the Mayors of Perth and Fremantle talk about sustainability plans for our city. Exciting stuff! I even wore a green-ish, sparkly top and sparkly eyeshadow for the event. AND I caught […] Read more…
I love going to Metrio & Co for breakfast. The warm energy, fast service and large portions are a guaranteed winner to kick off any weekend day. In the past they didn’t have a lot of vegan options to write about – it was more a case of asking for alterations to dishes on […] Read more…
Back in the 1970’s cookbook era, Russian Stroganoff was the height of exotic sophistication. It’s a dish you don’t see around much these days and probably for good reason: besides the fact that it’s not very photogenic, all that cream and meat is extremely unhealthy. Luckily the vegans are here to give it a sparkly, […] Read more…
