There are a lot of vegan mayonnaise recipes on the internet, but many of them are made with oil, as is standard mayonnaise. So when I discovered a few versions calling for a mix of silken tofu and cashews, I had to give it a try! I love tofu, and am totally enamoured with cashew … Continue reading

Black Bean Chili, with or without the heat
This is the only ‘chili’ I’ve ever made, and it was fabulous. I’ve always loved the look of black beans, so I thought a simple black bean chili would be a good place to start in cooking them. I made up this recipe after reading many other black bean and black bean chili recipes (Cuban … Continue reading
Yesmir Wot – Ethiopian Lentil Stew
I have to thank my work colleagues for inspiring me to post this recipe. I took this dish to work today with some crackers to contribute to a goodbye morning tea (Angelo is leaving me! I will miss his Effie impressions..) and it went down very well. I’ve had this recipe for almost a year, … Continue reading
Quinoa Medley Salad
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
Better late than never, Mushroom Seitan Christmas Roast
Well it’s been a while since Christmas, but better late than never! This seitan mushroom roast went very well with a few salads, mushroom gravy and my superb stuffed tofu roast. It was very tasty, and quite easy to make with readily available ingredients (well you might need to go to a bulk or health … 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
Fresh salsa salad
This was another great but very simple dish that graced our table for Christmas this year. There’s no dressing with this salad, the juices from theĀ vegetables combined with a hint of mint are superb on their own, and the colours are destined to belong at a sub-tropical Christmas table. What to do: Mix together … 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
Simple potato salad with cashew cream
A lovely potato salad that we served with Christmas lunch in the sub-tropics this year. Delicious, easy to make and very adaptable. Also great for making ahead, as it will store a number of days in the fridge. Ingredients: 1 large bag of red skinned waxy potatoes (or about 8 … 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. Burger patties are traditionally called ‘rissoles’ in Australia, so this is my vegan nod to the humble ‘rissole on the barbie’ of my childhood. We … Continue reading
