My current food obsession is Yottam Ottolenghi’s recipe for miso-walnut udon noodles. It is absolutely delicious, and looks pretty great too, even with my limited food presentation skills.
I didn’t actually have all of the ingredients listed, but I wasn’t going to let a small thing like that stop me from making this.
Below is my slightly-altered [...]

Vegan MoFo ‘09 is over, sadly! I’ve really enjoyed this month, as it’s forced me to be a bit more creative with my cooking. I’ve used lots of new recipes (only a fraction of which I managed to photograph and post here) and have had a blast along the way, reading loads of fascinating food blogs. Aw, [...]

So today’s post is a day late, and that’s partly because I’m lazy, and also partly because I went on the Ghost Bus!
My sister turned 13 recently, and I decided to make a big ol’ birthday cake for the party. And, getting a bit carried away, I also agreed to do a couple of canape-thingymajigs. This wasn’t [...]

I suppose I’ve used this month as an excuse to bake lots of cakes and cookies, and eat lots of things I usually wouldn’t. I wanted a change, so, for lunch, I made a ‘Leon Superfood Salad’, but veganised it.
The recipe is taken from the Times’ site.

Serves 2

After a hard day discussing gender theory and dodging tourists on Oxford Street because I’m late to a lecture, I want to come home to a bowl of something comforting. This recipe for lentil chowder pretty much fits the bill – it’s nourishing, creamy, and, best of all, pretty simple to make.
Lentil Chowder (makes enough for two people, I think)
Ingredients:
1 [...]

I love raspberries, but I love raspberry jam even more. I managed to get hold of a punnet of fresh raspberries, and decided to make some baked yoghurt and raspberry tarts. Also, do you know how wondrous baked yoghurt is? Because it’s pretty awesome. With a cheesecake like texture!
It’s essentially just a sweet, shortcrust pastry… [...]

I have a habit of tweaking recipes without actually trying the original, and then being disappointed when everything goes wrong. Well, here is the original recipe for potato rosti, taken from Vegie Food, published by Murdoch Books.
Potato Rosti
Ingredients:
750g (1 lb 10 oz) waxy potatoes, peeled
1 small onion, finely sliced
2 tbsp chopped parsley
30g (1 oz) butter [I subbed [...]

Today wasn’t a very productive day for me, so I’m just going with it. I’ve got a The Thick of It special lined up, and a 30 Rock episode that also needs to be viewed.
Friday nights, if you didn’t know, are also for fish and chip dinners. I loved thegvc’s recipe for Feesh Feengers, but [...]

When someone posted on the PPK asking about a certain sandwich, I thought the ingredients sounded strangely intriguing, and I had to give it a try. Here is my take on the Crema sandwich in all its glory:
Yes, that’s more hummus than is decent, with slices of a Granny Smith apple, sweet potato and parsley [...]
