Ohhh those magical, mythical sandwiches that all my favourite American bloggers are always writing about! I thought my turn would never come but FINALLY I have consumed a Tempeh Reuben on Australian soil! *happy dance* The Tempeh Reubens we fell in love with at Caravan of Dreams and many other vegan restaurants across the […] 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…
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…
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…
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…
Happy Meat-Free Monday, everyone! How great are macadamias? They really are the sparkly superstars of the nut world, aren’t they? Rich and creamy with a subtle flavour and gorgeous texture, they effortlessly outshine all the other nuts. This is such a simple stir-fry, perfectly adaptable in a thousand different ways depending on your favourite ingredients. It’s also the […] Read more…
Happy Vegan MoFo, everyone! I’m so excited, I’m kicking off with not one but two recipes for you! * Cue sparkles! * Recently I spotted some incredibly creative ideas via My New Roots’ Whole Roasted Tandoori Cauliflower and Veg Hot Pot’s Tandoori Cauliflower Naan Wrap. Tandoori Cauliflower?? I was so intrigued, I knew I had to […] Read more…
There are two types of people in this world – those who do things in moderation and those who go overboard. I most definitely find myself in the second category most of the time. When I was in high school I ate vegemite sandwiches for lunch every day for five years and loved it. When […] Read more…
Ding ding, it’s finally SPRING! Hurray! Not only was Friday the last night of winter, it also featured a blue moon. Freaky. I’ll just take that as a sign that we’re about to head into the best Spring/Summer yet. Are you with me? To celebrate the farewell of winter and welcome back […] Read more…
My Mum’s name is Lorraine. When I was younger I couldn’t understand why people were always naming their egg pies after her. Now that I’m wise and mature (*ahem*), I understand so much more. Like how cool it is that tofu can masquerade as egg! Smart tofu! When my newly vegan friend told me […] Read more…
If winter threw a party and invited all the comfort foods, Shepherd’s Pie would be on the VIP list and Quinoa would be left shivering in the queue outside all night. But what if Shepherd’s Pie wrapped Quinoa up in his big, fluffy, mashy coat and brought her along as his date? Dressed in […] Read more…
Oh how I love Winter Friday Night Pizza Experiments! When I read this post by Lindsay Is Vegan and saw what she was doing with Chana Masala appetisers, I got pretty excited! Serving Indian curry on bread! YES! Genius! I’ve always loved this Chana Masala recipe by The Copycat Cook, and thought it’d make the perfect […] Read more…
bbbbbrrrrr, it’s freezing in Perth this week! I’m not at my sparkly best in the cold. Sunshine makes me sparkly. Running around in the cold makes me crave fast, comforting meals so I can get back to snuggling on the couch with re-runs of Gossip Girl a good book, a block of chocolate and […] Read more…
It’s Winter Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere today. Oh yes, it is! I love Winter Solstice, especially the part about the shortest day of the year occurring only a few short weeks into our dark, stormy weather. It gives me hope that I will survive the rest of winter and not morph permanently into some […] Read more…
