The part I loved most about the Caesar Salad I adored at Adama Comfort Cuisine? The tofu and crouton cubes were the same size and looked so similar that you weren’t sure whether you were going to receive a soft and chewy mouthful or a hard and crunchy mouthful with each bite. The mixture of […] Read more…

California Vegan: Adama Comfort Cuisine, Santa Barbara
We ticked a big item off our Bucket List when we touched down in L.A.: ♥••*´¨`*•.☆• Drive Route 101 from LA to San Francisco! ♥••*´¨`*•.☆• It started off so well… And then proceeded to bucket torrential rains down on broken, slippery roads for the rest of our journey, eeeekkk! Luckily we […] Read more…
Grill’d, Shafto Lane, CBD (and other locations)
Oh My Grill’d! There’s a new salad dealer in town and they mean business! Intrigued by the ‘We’ve Fixed Our Salads!’ sign I spotted on Hay Street, I just had to skip on down Shafto Lane to find out what was going on. And HELLO, there’s a new Grill’d on the block! I’ve been […] Read more…
Daily Planet, Mount Lawley
I’d read mixed reviews about the Daily Planet Cafe on Perth vegan forums and protested as Dom dragged me past Veggie Mama last Sunday morning (we still love you, Veggie Mama! We will be back!). I get so tired sometimes of paying $18 for a couple of mushrooms on toast at non-veg cafes where you have […] Read more…
V Burger Bar, East Victoria Park
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…
Vegan MoFo Cheezy Broccoli Stuffed Mushrooms
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…
Vegan MoFo Thai Pumpkin & Chickpea Wraps
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…
Vegan MoFo Antipasto & Quinoa Salad
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…
Thailicious, Northbridge
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…
Vegan MoFo Tomatillo Salsa Verde & Black Bean Nachos ♥ Quesadillas
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…
Vegan MoFo Grilled Zucchini Ribbon & Toasted Almond Salad
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…
Vegan MoFo Rustic, Creamy Portobello Stroganoff
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…
Vegan MoFo Broccolini Stir-Fry with Dry Roasted Macadamias and Turmeric Rice
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…
Vegan MoFo Simple Sunday Snacks – Apple & Jaffa ‘Cupcakes’!
Ever since I first made these apple ‘cupcakes’, I’ve wondered about making a Jaffa version. It was a beautiful, sunny day in Perth today and as I skipped around the fresh produce aisles of my local shop I spotted free samples of fresh, vibrant oranges in season. Super sweet and juicy, they were just perfect for […] Read more…
