Tangy Crunchy Granola 2009-01-07 08:37:00 I had a very ripe pear that I wanted to use up and didn’t want to just make something like a muffin or cake with it. I’ve seen a few recipes about homemade granola and have kept them as a recipe to try one day. So there! It would be a great way to use up all the cereal leftover bits that sink at the bottom of cereal packs.With the pear reduced to a puree, mixed with orange juice, then thi Read more:Tangy
Easy soychunk and veggie meal 2009-01-04 11:44:00 Yesterday for diner, I made some veggies stir fried in a nut of vegan margarine and soychunks cooked in tomato sauce. It was a quick simple meal but very tasty! For the veggies, I used diced parsnips (a too often forgotten vegetable, yet so flavoursome!), sliced courgettes (or zucchini), mushrooms and onions. Sauté the parsnip first in some margarine with some finely chopped garlic. Wh
A little treat for me! 2009-01-03 15:57:00 While I love cooking a lot, there are some days that I just need a break! And for those days, there’s BoyfriendLovlie who’s more than eager to exert his chef skills! He is usually ousted out of the kitchen when I’m cooking lest I’d be distracted with him monkey-ing around. Well, there are days that we do cook together and it’s very fun. Yesterday, however, BL decided he would treat Read more:little
Mixed Beans and Aubergine (Eggplant) Patties plus a Green Bean Salad 2009-01-02 06:22:00 Yesterday was a chilled day at home, we brunched on the leftover pizza and then I decided to make some bean patties for dinner. I also wanted a fresh but filling salad to go with the patties and green beans stroke my fancy! Ingredients (12 patties) 3 cups mixed boiled beans (I used chickpeas, red beans and mung beans)1 aubergine (or eggplant if you are more familiar wi Read more:Beans

Best Wishes! 2009-01-01 09:58:00 Wish you all a very Happy New Year 2009! And besh wishes for less cruelty around the world so it becomes a better place for every creature to live in.On New Year’s Eve, I had pizza (and chips – I thought I’d allow myself some ‘less’ healthy eats on this day, well they weren’t that unhealthy as they were oven chips). It was a quiet night with BoyfriendLovlie. I called my family who are Read more:Best Wishes

I won't go nuts again! 2008-12-30 15:48:00 It was what I was thinking, I had a nut allergy and slightly more serious than the usual hayfever. And if that weren’t enough for this festive period, BoyfriendLovlie had it too! By the end of Christmas day, we were both sick with a swollen throat and lungs for the past few days but, we are slowly recovering now. We can both tolerate nuts to some extent but I think we crossed our limits
Semi-sweet cookies and updates... 2008-12-22 18:49:00 I made those semi-sweet semolina cookies about 2 days ago. There are still quite a lot left. They are very crunchy and granular, and light on sugar. I sometimes like them light; I feel overstuffed when they are too sugary. I’ve been having too many nuts these few days with them being on promo at the health store. I bought this big bag of mixed nuts and dried fruits which also had goji berri Read more:updates
Ratatouille Christmas Tree Pie 2008-12-19 05:04:00 Ratatouille in a pie! And it was delicious! They tasted very homemade and comforting. The good thing about ratatouille is that you can use any vegetables that are in season and it actually tastes better the next day. So you can make it ahead of time. I actually used what I had on hand, cauliflower, green peppers and I added some chickpeas.Maybe you’re not going to serve this for Christmas

Steamed Mugcakes with Blackcurrant Jam 2008-12-16 16:14:00 Mugcakes?! You’ve guessed it, they are made in mugs! And they are steamed, not baked. I’ve had Chinese steamed cakes before in my childhood days. I remember they would come in white and red. I preferred the white ones at that time. They weren’t my favourite cakes as a child. They were a bit bland and too plain for a child! But I did like them sometimes.And so they came to my mind. But
Mushroom and Broccoli Quiche with Potato Crust 2008-12-15 11:01:00 I wanted something different for dinner today; different from rice and curry or noodles and stir fry. I thought a quiche might be nice. But I did not want to be rolling pastry to make a crust and my freezer is too small to keep any frozen pastry dough, which means I can never store the ready-made ones. So I thought of veganising this potato-based quiche from the Gluten Free Cooking School blo Read more:Broccoli

The mailman brought me... 2008-11-19 19:12:00 ...this apron this morning! It was from Key Ingredient. Do you remember the KICK Contest I participated in? (Here's the post) Well, I was delighted to receive this fantastic apron through the post for coming up 2nd place! Now, I don't know whether I should wear it or keep it. It's a really nice fabric apron! Thank you Key Ingredient!
Sweet spices enchanted my day! 2008-11-17 19:27:00 I’ve been to an interview today and it was pretty good. I really hope to hear something from them. Otherwise I have another interview for tomorrow. So, back from the interview today, I had to clear my head a little bit (so that I don't get excited too soon!) And there’s not better to do than baking. Right?! I always look at those yummy hot cross buns in supermarkets and don’t buy them b Read more:Sweet
3am Curry Pies! 2008-11-13 19:49:00 BoyfriendLovlie's been saying that he's been missing the pies he used to have before as a pre-vegan for a while now. At the moment we are both looking for jobs and staying up late (very late even!) doing applications. I hope we find something soon, ideally before Christmas. To keep us going and satisfy our hunger pang, I baked these at 3am during the weekend and we both ate them afterwards! You ca Read more:Curry
Cooked in Ireland! 2008-11-02 17:03:00 My first recipe from Ireland
! I've never had cabbage with pasta before and it was BoyfriendLovlie who actually suggested this combination. I used red cabbage but I think white will also be fine. This meal was actually quite good. Warm and hearty for the cold weather over here at the moment. So, here we go. Tofu and Cabbage in Tomato Sauce Ingredients (2 servings) ½ sm
KICK Contest Winner! 2008-10-24 10:05:00 I know you must be wondering where I've been all this time! Very very busy! I'm now blogging from Dublin. Yes, it all happened so quickly! I've enrolled for a course and I'm now back to college! It feels a bit weird sometimes to be in a classroom again after 6 years working full-time. But I wanted a bit of change in my life!The annoying thing at the moment is that I don't have a computer at home a Read more:Contest
Bread filler - time saver. 2008-09-18 14:43:00 I rarely blog about packed lunch food mainly because I can’t manage to get a photo of the food at this time of the day or in the morning. It is quite sad as I think you would have loved some of them.I usually make chickpea patties in advance and freeze them ‘raw’ until I need them. I then just deep fry or bake them when I need to. No need to defrost. It’s a real time saver when you need a Read more:Bread

KICK Contest Entry! 2008-09-07 15:39:00 I was invited to join the September Key Ingredient Cook’s Kitchen Contest
! It is my first time participating in a recipe contest and I am so excited to submit my entry! The rules required the recipe to have either apples or peaches or both as a key ingredient and the rest is left to your imagination! Peaches are not in season at the moment over here and I did not want to use canned ones. So my i Read more:Entry
Experimenting with pizza base dough and ... just chilling! 2008-08-31 12:36:00 This Saturday, I did not have anything in particular to do. I woke up at 10.30am. And prepared lunch. SisterLovlie made the salads and I just made some microwave potato chips from the Fat-free Vegan Kitchen.I quite liked those chips. But I did not have any parchment paper so I greased the plate a little bit. My chips were not fat-free but they still contained less fat than regular chips.The only t
Carrot muffins 2008-08-24 13:35:00 Shelby from La Belle Vegan (she's got the nicest breakfast inspirations!) suggested that I make the Fat-free Carrot
Cupcakes from the Happy Herbivore. And I did. I must say, these are really "to die for" (quoting Shelby)! I added raisins to mine and used pear puree (3 ripe pears processed in the blender with half cup water) instead of applesauce. I did not have any applesauce and to be honest I th
Indian Tonight 2008-08-24 11:59:00 Tonight for dinner I had Cauliflower and Soy Kalia! This lovely Indian dish is traditionally a Kashmiri dish prepared with meat or fish and yogurt. Of course my recipe is the veganised version that I made with soy chunks, cauliflower and coconut milk. This can also be made with red kidney beans if you are allergic to soy or don’t have any soy chunks.By the way, did I mention that my intolerance Read more:Tonight
Muffins, pancakes and chutney! 2008-08-19 14:44:00 We had a long weekend over here this weekend with Friday being a public holiday. The thing with long weekends is that I take 2 days to get back on track afterwards! I spent most of my Friday baking and cooking, of course! Then on Saturday, I went to the cinema to watch Narnia - Prince Caspian. I love going to the cinema! And the movie was good. I loved the first Narnia and the second is worth watc Read more:Muffins
Apples and Lovlie 2008-08-11 14:30:00 Ok, I've got loads of apples at home and I'm short of ideas about what to do with them! Mum brought them home as they aren't selling very well these days at the market. (Mum and Dad are fruitsellers by the way! You get the idea why there's so many fruits in my baking!)So help me before they go off, what are your favourite apple recipes? I've made some apple custard tartlets so far.Sidenote: I made Read more:Apples
The weekend... 2008-08-09 11:43:00 I am spending a quiet weekend. It feels like summer although it's something like mid-winter around here. With 25 degrees Celsius today and a high of 29 predicted for tomorrow, it's a very summery winter!I made these apple and custard tartlets this morning, baked in individual tins. It's the same recipe as from here. (If you halve the recipe, you'll get 5 tartlets, depending on the size of the tins
Sweet Potato Stuffed Rolls – The recipe 2008-08-08 14:00:00 Sweet PotatoStuffedRolls
– The recipeAs promised…here’s the recipe. I only get the white sweet potatoes over here. I would have preferred the orange variety that I used to buy in England, they’re more flavourful. If you can get hold of the orange sweet potato, then I would definitely recommend them.Ingredients (12-15 cookie rolls - 6-7 cm / 2.5-3 inches long)Cookie1 ½ cups all-purpose f Read more:Sweet
