The weather in Wales is so strange at the moment.  For the past two days its been heavily foggy, only to clear and then smack us in the face with a mini heatwave.  It does make a change from the rain though, so I better not complain.   I made this Golden Mushroom Loaf a couple of weeks back at the weekend when D brought home a lot of mushrooms.  It is golden partly from being baked, but also from the addition of smoked paprika.   I garnished the mushroom loaf with homemade smoky coconut flakes aka 'coconut 'bacon'.   We enjoyed this Mushroom Loaf as a Nut Roast with one meal, the others with a side of salad. It was tasty.  It was firm and crunchy on the outside, and soft on the inside, but not a claggy soft. It made a nice change from the occasional mock 'meat' sausages we pick up for  during the working week for easy meals.   If you do make this allow to cool in tin before attempting to remove.  This savoury loaf c an be r...

I have lots of flavoured cheddar cheese in the fridge from Christmas and the New Year.  We have been snacking on them in the evening with crackers, but I have also decided to incorporate some of it into our cooked meals. This is a Smoked Cheddar Cheese Nut Roast that I made to accompany Sunday Veggie Roast Dinner.  D is never excited by nut roasts.  So to please him I told him he would also get some mock meat slices on his plate (left over from a previous meal).   This Smoked Cheese Nut Roast  recipe comes from Green Gourmet Giraffe.  Johanna's version is vegan.  Wow this was a flavourful nut roast.   It was very textual too. I changed it just a little, but they are not worth mentioning really.  Adding a red pepper for colour and upping the smoked paprika and Smoked cheddar cheese and finally because it just seemed right, I had to use the  Outback Spirit Tasmanian Pepper Salt seasoning  that Johanna sent me ...

These Mushroom Wellington Roast Spirals  were inspired from my time in Glasgow and when we went to The 13th Note was my favourite vegetarian/vegan  eatery i n Glasgow, plus it being a popular music venue too.   At the time there were not that many vegetarian or vegan eateries in Glasgow,  there was  The 13th Note, Mono and Stereo which was well  hidden in an alley way, unless of course you knew where to look and of course we did.    And there was  The 78 Cafe Bar near  Kelvingrove Art Museum.  but it was relatively new.  There was also  Grassroots that was close to the University of Glasgow but the the vegetarian - vegan cafe closed down in 2009 , though I have recently learned that it has re-opened once again .  It was one of my haunts in my University days. However, it is only in the last 5 years, that  a number of meat-free eateries have appeared Glasgow, so much so that i n 2013, PETA vo...
