Old Fashioned Anglo-Australian Veggie Curry Recipe from The Cook’s Companion
I’ve been thinking about posting this recipe for veggie curry for months now and I always decided against it because, to be honest, it is actually a bit daggy. But then I thought, well, this blog is all about food I actually cook and eat and, at the right time and place, there’s nothing better…

Heartwarming Vegan Swedish Yellow Split Pea Soup Recipe
Sometimes, it’s hard to get up the enthusiasm to write much about a recipe, not because I don’t love it, but I feel like enthusing too much about something as humble and simple as this split pea soup, is kind of ridiculous. What more can I really say about it except that it’s my new…

I always keep my pantry well stocked with tins of Heinz baked beans. I’ve eaten them since I was a child and now my son eats them as well – it’s one of the few things he likes to ‘cook’ for himself. I know it’s not really cooking but he gives him a nice sense…

Vegan Mapo Tofu Recipe
There’s nothing worse for a vegetarian to be in a Chinese restaurant and see a luscious platter of mapo tofu being taken to another table and then when you try and order it, you’re told it isn’t actually a vegetarian dish. All that glorious tofu and they have to ruin it by throwing in a…

My friend Alice bakes the best cakes. This pear, pistachio and chocolate cake was one of the first cakes she baked for me when we became friends. I remember when I first tasted it and I paused for a long moment in stunned silence before blurting out something along the lines of… THIS CAKE… is……
