I became acquainted with the rather beautiful and stunning Sarah Beattie in Glasgow.  I accidentally bumped into her in an Oxfam Bookshop on Byres Road, Glasgow - well not literally of course but I like to think so.   I found her first cookbook Neither Fish Nor Fowl: Meat Free Eating for Pleasure (1993) on the shelf and was charmed by the innovative recipes, the elegant presentation.  This was a stylish, sophisticated  and sumptuous vegetarian cookbook with recipes ahead of its time like Beetroot and Cranberry Consomme, Raspberry Soup, Avocado Soup, Stuffed Nasturtium Salad and that's just for starters.  It was a pioneering cookbook in my eyes, as it was the first vegetarian dinner party cookbook I came across that moved away from  the wholemeal way of cooking.  It also has Asparagus Eclairs and Chestnut Souffles and Raspberry Brulee and so so much more .    I have over the years adapted some of her recipes, such as  Curried Peach Tar...

I am so glad its Friday.  First week back at work after a week off was hard and this week seemed to be harder as every single day I was super busy, that is good as it makes the time pass, but I am tired and am so looking forward to a lie in and not having to get up 6am in the morning.  Thank goodness for weekends.    I made this dish a little while back its a Smoky Pepper Stew.  The smokiness from paprika.  I served it with rice.   I am sharing this with  Plant Based Potluck Party  and  Healthy Vegan Fridays  hosted by  Rock My Vegan  Socks and  V Nutrition ; and  and  Weekend Cooking  hosted by Beth Fish Reads   .   The recipe comes from  Innocent Badger Cookbook :  The Tried to Bury Us...But They Didn't Know We were Seeds.    I picked up the Innocent Badger Cookbook when I went to  Cheltenham Vegan Festival early this year,  but its the first reci...

I always avoid Aubergine Parmigiana when I see it on the menu at eateries, its common like mushroom risotto and vegetable lasagne - not that I don't like the idea of it, I do, I am often disappointed in the way aubergines are cooked or most of the time not cooked properly.  No wonder so many people have an aversion to aubergines. But when I saw a Cauliflower Parmigiana version  from Kristy Turners  But I Could Never Go Vegan,   I was interested.  I had already made  Roasted Broccoli and Apple Salad   and  BBQ Cauliflower Salad   from the cookbook and knew it would be good. I changed the recipe a little by only increasing the smoked paprika and not using oats as I thought the panko amount would suffice and it was fine.   The cauliflower was crisp on the outside from the panko and the cauliflower under the baked golden crumbs was moist and pierced through nice and gently.   Here the cauliflower Parmigiana is se...

Did you see the red sun yesterday?! It was truly Amazing - I am not one of those people who throws the word around lightly, it really was amazing.   Early on in the week I made a Red Tomato Curry, today I share a bowl red soup which by all means should have been green according to the both the photograph in the cookbook, but also the ingredients including broccoli.  Upon a little research on blogophere,  I noted that other food bloggers had also made the  Cheesy Broccoli Beer Soup  and it was also not the vibrant green featured in the cookbook Street Vegan, so I felt relieved that I was not heavy handed with either the soy sauce  or tamari and smoked paprika.     Anyway, this  Cheesy Broccoli Beer Soup with S moky Sunflower Chorizo Croutons  was ridiculously flavourful, but in a very good way.  I especially loved the different levels of flavour from the topping the beer, the cheesiness from the nutritional ye...
