Whoohoo baby, I made it! It was one year ago – on October 1st 2011 – that I made the decision and commitment to become vegan. During that first month when I was suffering from huge cheese monster cravings, I stumbled across an on-line event called Vegan MoFo – The Vegan Month of Food – […] Read more…
If you’re anything like me, time often runs away from you and before you know it your best girl friends will be knocking on your door at any moment. This is a super fresh, super healthy, super delicious and super fun lunch you can pull together at super fast speeds on just those occasions. A […] Read more…
When one of the organisers of the Annual International Vegetarian Food Fair contacted me early last week to tell me about this event and that most of the food would be vegan (thank you, Yuni!), I immediately posted it on my Facebook page, shouted it from the rooftops to all Perth Vegan groups and rounded […] Read more…
I’ve been to the Wagamama restaurants in London and Sydney many times in the past and always loved them, even though the food hall concept of communal tables can mean that your food doesn’t arrive at the same time as your friends. The food was usually worth the risk and there were usually only a […] Read more…
Once upon a time there was a hungry vegan who caught the train through Claisebrook Station every morning and wondered about the ‘Perth City Farm‘ rumoured and signposted to exist behind the large stone wall. An organic oasis and shining beacon of sustainability in the middle of the city?? She was curious, but not curious enough […] 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…
There’s a tiny coffee kiosk near my work that I have a huge, caffeinated crush on. It’s called Cafe Vinyl, it’s attached to a record store, and it pumps out funky tunes while you wait for your order. Tunes I can’t sing along to because I’m not hip enough to know them, but I […] Read more…
I’ve been to Paris twice in this lifetime (so far) and just like so many travellers before me, it was love at first sight. Ohhh, the beautiful architecture, gold encrusted bridges, charming canals, breathtaking gardens and fountains, effortlessly stylish fashion, priceless art, romantic music, and incredible, hot, gooey Nutella Crêpes available on every tree-lined city street… […] Read more…
Every time I go to a Farmers Market I wonder why I don’t go every week. Yesterday was the perfect day for it. The sun was shining, the air was fresh, I had a heap of small change and no other plans until Noon. I gathered up my shopping bags and bribed my friend […] 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…
How great are Mums?! I’m crazy about mine. On the weekend she invited me down to her place so we could catch up and watch the latest episodes of Tough Love Miami. Have you seen this show? When my Mum, sister and I watched the first season we dubbed it ‘Skanky Town’ because it was […] Read more…
