It seems that the entire world has gone mad for matcha, and once again I am late to the culinary bandwagon. Last week I visited the Mind Apples pop-up health farm, then went to the Japan Centre for some of their splendid (and very affordable) sushi and spied lots of matcha. I remembered reading about [...]

Have I mentioned before that I really really really love dips? Looking back at my dippy posts it seems that I usually serve them with crudities, but sometimes a bit of non veggie crunch and crispiness is required. Instead of from a packet and laden with fat and all manner of nasties, these [...]

This summer I have been getting an iceberg lettuce every week in my co-op box and frankly I am a little bored of them. Nothing conjures up an image of an 1970’s salad more than an iceberg. Add some pale watery tomatoes, celery and chunks of cucumber and a good dollop of [...]

I do not understand why some people think that they do not like tofu. It is so versatile and takes on the flavour of whatever it is cooked with there realy is nothing to dislike, although I do agree that watery slimey tofu is a very sad experience indeed. I first made this at [...]

You know the occasions when you have asked people for supper, then you get home 5 minutes before they are due to arrive and nothing is prepared? I think that a bowl of dip is the perfect casual starter. Easy to throw together from store cupboard staples and the contents of my co-op veg box, [...]

London is hot hot hot and humid to boot. I am positively enjoying my supermarket trips at the moment as I linger and closely examine every object in the frozen section. And what better for these hot summer mornings than ice cream for breakfast? This is totally healthy, unprocessed, raw and vegan and tastes fantastic. [...]

What could be more English than a glass of homemade elderflower cordial drunk in an English garden in the evening of Midsummer’s Day?
I picked the elderflowers on Midsummer’s eve and bottled them on Midsummer’s day.
Today is Midsummer’s day and for those of us in the Northern hemisphere the longest day of the year, for those [...]

My food co-op has just made the summer switch over from vegetable bags to salad bags. Despite having not had a bag for the last couple of weeks (busy with life and the decorating) there are still a number of root vegetables languishing at the bottom of the fridge waiting to be eaten. As recent [...]

Sometimes the most simple dishes can be the most delicious. This simple pasta contains only 4 ingredients which come together to make a delicious whole. It is also fantastic cold, but I think that I would use broccoli in place of the pak choy. ( Whilst writing this up I discovered that pak choy and [...]
