Since having baby Darryl, now 5 and a 1/2 weeks old, I have been keen to get back into the kitchen. Mainly because I missed having some time to myself to be creative or to unwind; I love my days with Darryl more than anything but these first few weeks are so intense – day … Continue reading
Tofu scramble is one of those things that when done well can be simply the best vegan breakfast ever! I love scrambled eggs and was convinced nothing would ever replace this breakfast in my life. The first time I tried scrambled tofu it was awful, bland and mushy. It took me awhile to try it … Continue reading
I’ve only gone and done it again…. Vegan, Easter, Pie! I am spending Easter with family and offered to bring something around as the vegetarian option, initially I decided to make the Layered Lentil and Cashew Cream Easter Pie from 2013, however my Aunt (the only other vegetarian) has a nut allergy so that was … Continue reading

Did I get your attention, or did you see that title and run away in case I had embraced a slightly more bohemian lifestyle than I’d let on 🙂 don’t worry, I haven’t! I’ve just done a lot of reading about mushrooms recently and I never realised how good for you they are. I kind … Continue reading
I finally learnt how to make an Omelette! In the past I would beat the eggs and pour them in the pan but after a few seconds I don’t know why I would just panic and scramble them.
