This salad has become a standby at our place. It’s a version of the Quinoa and Corn Medley from Colleen Patrick-Goudreau’s book The Vegan Table. Every time I make it it’s a bit different, depending on the vegies that happen to be in our fridge or garden at the time. This is the one I … Continue reading

New Years Day salad
Well it’s New Years Day, 1 January 2014, and what better way to celebrate than with a fresh tropical salad, made with what I had on hand, a few things from the garden, and some mangoes from my friend Katie’s trees in Caboolture. I also though it would be good to get some fresh fruit … Continue reading
Superb stuffed tofu roast
I am sorry I left trying this recipe until Christmas, it SO good. I am also impressed by how easy it is to make, as are most of my favourite vegan recipes. I followed this recipe from ‘The Leafy Cauldron’ blog as a guide, but changed the method a bit … Continue reading
Delicious lentil rissoles
I’m very sorry I didn’t take a photo of these beauties, but they were so good it doesn’t matter, the recipe just needs writing down and the quicker the better.

But since I started eating vegan I haven’t really missed this kind of meal, because: (a) it seems way … Continue reading
Vegan pesto pasta salad
I put this meal together after making ‘vegan pesto on a budget‘ and it turned out so well I thought it worth recording. The recipe is very basic and adaptable, just use whatever you have and add pesto! Here’s what I used.. 4 or 5 pesto cubes, defrosted at room temperature (or about 3 tablespoons … Continue reading
Quick vegan snag burger
This burger (well it’s a sandwich really) is a great example of how you can make a really great quick meal from not much at all if you make your own bread and have a fresh loaf on hand. I made this wholemeal loaf in the morning, then at night we just cooked up some … Continue reading
