My fave soup at the moment- sunchoke and silverbeet
These little beauties go by the name of earth apple, sunchoke, Jerusalem artichoke just to name a few. They are tasty indeed, it is hard for me to get any of them in the soup pot because they taste great raw and I am known for my picking. They are a winter root veggie that are packed with vitamin C, A and E aswell as having a good source of minerals including our all time favourite, iron....

Vegan Fondue (is that even possible) the last recipe review of the book ' My New Roots'
For those who follow my blog posts you will remember last year I started a recipe review on Sarah Britons book ' My New Roots'. A month or so back the realisation that I had left that project unfinished hit me and then in the last foundation module of The Vegan Chef and Lifestyle Training, two of...
Veets Feel Good Lunch
Do you know if what you are eating is right for you?
I love the course I teach. The modules have been carefully planned in a particular order that enable students to begin to work out what way of eating is best suited to their constitution, their body type and what makes them feel good.
I love that we can all choose to listen to what our body needs to eat and style food around...

A few ideas on slowing down and still get everything done (and a great recipe too)
It is ironic that I am writing about the topic of slowing down and I know my beloved partner Mak is going to raise his eyebrows when he sees this post as he is surrounded by my 'busy ness' every minute of the day. If you were to see my house and my diary right now you would wonder what I could possibly...
Eggplant and broccoli curry in a hurry (easy ways to make nice thick curry gravy without all the preservatives)
Did any of you reading this blog grow up with a tin of Keen's curry powder in the cupboard? I did, My mum used to have a few tins on the go at once and would add a spoonful to various dishes. As a child I always wondered what the powder was and where it originally came from but never thought to ask her. In adult years I thought maybe it was ground curry leaves and then could be a more tumeric...

An interview with Deva Premal and Miten on being veg(etari)an for life
In 1997 I was working in the kitchen at a music festival in Osho Leela in Dorset.
I was incredibly new to the world of Osho and there was a lot of hype about Miten and his girlfriend Deva Premal performing in concert. I wasn’t sure what all the fuss was about and when someone asked me if I was going I replied...

No one needs to be left out this christmas.This christmas cake recipe takes in to consideration many dietary requirements. So moist and delicious. A friend said to me why would you need to use eggs and butter when it tastes better without? This friend is by no means vegan either- not yet anyway!!

Best Nut Roast Ever- Just in time for christmas (seed free version if you prefer)
I've been making nut roasts for six or so years now and from time to time I change parts of the original recipe and look up new ideas. In all the variations this is the best one I have come across. With it containing a grain (rice) and nuts it is automatically a complete protein meal and then the addition of organic non gmo silken tofu you really do have yourself a protein packed meal.
