moo free Easter egg
Open the box and it hits you: that exciting, sugary Easter Egg scent from childhood. I don’t know why chocolate should smell different when formed into an egg shape, but it does. Dark chocolate eggs are of course gorgeous, but altogether more grown up. This is the one for children and those who don’t like [...]

gourmet raw brownies and crisps
But first to the crisps: completely guilt free, dried raw squares of tastiness. The three flavours are Beetroot, Spicy Thai and Red Pepper and they’re all very good… …but the absolute winner for us was the red pepper. Reminiscent of pizza, these would be very nice little crackers too. Topped with a small slice of [...]
red dragon pie
This is a dish we’ve had a lot over the years but never written up. Original credit goes to Sarah Brown’s Vegetarian Kitchen (BBC cookery series). It’s a wonderfully filling and wholesome meal. Topped with mashed potatoes, the base is made of aduki beans (goodness direct link there, which links back to our aduki bean [...]
it approaches… chocolate calendar time…
Yes, the time of year when it’s acceptable to eat a chocolate each day first thing in the morning… I hope those little images align properly in everyone’s browsers, else they won’t make sense The Modern Housewife Series Vol 1 is doing a countdown to Vegan Christmas starting on Nov 18th… but back to those [...]

Vegetarian Christmas
An older book, now out of print, but I don’t think anything has come along to best it as a veggie festive title (do comment if you know otherwise!). I got the hardback out of the library something like 18/19 years ago and it impacted me. The gorgeousness of Christmas food, the hints on preparing [...]

Little bits that weve been watching/seeing/thinking about/liking. First a 9 second clip of Mikhail Baryshnikov’s 11 turn pirouette from White Nights: Ellen Degeneres on being vegan: Then this clip from the Magic Sword reminds me of walking in our woods here, all wild and magical. It was the first film we took the children to see [...]
