Julie Sahni’s Bihari Green Bean Masala Recipe | Vegan Feast Party Ideas
Even though I’ve been eating and cooking vegetarian food for decades, I still feel an uncomfortable twinge of anxiety when I’m having a vegan for dinner.

This is my sister-in-law’s favourite soup and one she has made for me quite often as a vegetarian meal when I’m visiting her. It really is the most spectacular soup with a rich, complex flavour.

Quick and Easy Red Kidney Bean (Rajma) Dahl with Simple Spicing
I make this red kidney bean dahl quite often as a quick midweek meal. I used to always drain and rinse my cans of beans until I started making this recipe. It seemed like a curiously radical thing to do the first time I made it – to throw the beans, liquid and all, into…

Homemade Beetroot Dip with Hot English Mustard
Like many Australians, I ate quite a lot of tinned beetroot when I was growing up. It was there on our plates of salads, in sandwiches and, what would the classic Aussie burger be without some slices of beetroot lurking within to jump out and surprise you, leaving a beetroot stain on your best…

Homemade Refried Black Beans and Zhoug with Red Cabbage Slaw
I’ve had a bit of a disastrous week on the cooking front. On the weekend, I tried to make a strawberry layer cake from the Smitten Kitchen blog. Deb’s recipes are usually foolproof and this cake, called a Pink Lady Cake, is so gorgeously pink and princessy: I’ve been wanting to make it since I…
