What to do with carrots? The order in which I prefer carrots is as follows: Raw Oven roasted and baked Fried in butter, with herbs As a base for broths Boiled Carrots have the most flavour, the best texture, and probably the most nutrition when eaten raw. One of my favourite ways to eat raw carrot is grated or julienned in an Asian-style cabbage ...

Creating new things... I'm always trying to think of new things. I'm also always trying to think of ways to motivate myself to implement said new things. The following "recipe" is an idea that came to fruition in less than two weeks, nothing short of miraculous for me. I genereally opt for la-la land, an imaginary place where my creations are wholly unique, often produced, ...

I have recently developed an obsession with tempeh. My husband really likes it too, not that he complains a great deal about anything else I make (but I do aim to please, mostly, depending on the time of the month and whether or not you spoke to me before 10am that morning). This recipe features one of my staple favourites when I'm craving a unique flavour: ...

It's hard to fail with pasta I popped into my favourite Asian shop in town bought approximately 15,000 tonnes of fresh herbs last weekend and with some mint still to use up, I decided a pasta and pea combination was in order. I did not, however, wish to have the mint completely ...

And a side of carrots! Hmm, that doesn't sound very exciting, does it? Here's the thing: I got a mandolin slicer, I had a huge bag of carrots, and I wanted to play. Enough said. To make the pretty design in the carrots, just score down 4 sides of each carrot and cut a small sliver out. If you don't have ...

Spinach is my BFF I crave it, sometimes irrationally, and I cannot rest until I've had my fill of this luscious green. I am convinced people who say they hate spinach have simply been served the frozen variety during their childhood, and frozen spinach really is enough to scar a person for life. I think a palak or saag is the perfect way to convince a person that spinach ...

This is another dead easy vegetarian recipe which makes a great starter to any meal. I think a nice blue cheese would also work in place of the goat's cheese. I have a confession. This is the first time I've ever knowingly tried broad beans. It is most certainly the first time I have ever cooked them. Result? ...

I love me some noodles, and luckily they are one of those things that work in incredibly simple recipes. In fact I find that with noodles, the simpler the ingredients the better the flavour. This easy vegetarian recipe using udon noodles is no different, and can be prepared in 20 minutes. This recipe serves two as a snack or starter. This noodle recipe, ...

This is another dish from Southeast Asia that I recently learned often contains that fantasic Southeast Asian vegetarian-pisser-offer: fish sauce. So I had my own go at something basic and simple, and this was the result. This super-easy vegetarian recipe only takes ten or 15 minutes, if that, and makes a healthy and yummy snack or main meal accompaniment. You ...

I hate winter. I really, really, really hate winter. I hate that it doesn't get light until 7:30 and it's dark around 16:00. I hate that it's not even a real winter, with real snow and real winter coats for sale (everything's a fashion item here, at least for women, unless you want to pay a couple hundred pounds). I hate that everyone stresses ...
