A Lengthy Explanation…
Sometimes, life can bring you to breaking point. You feel as though everything has turned pear-shaped and you’re not quite sure what you’re doing or we’re your heading…
A little over a year ago, everything had its place. There was a plan, a passion, a fret, a prospect, a smile-setter, a tear-jerker. Whereas, throughout 2011, these once vivid emotions had congealed into a mass of uncertainty, vacancy and disconcertion…
Not Eggbert, Tofu…
Running low on words, I feel somewhat “naughty” posting this without a bit more substance.
Or at least some sort of unnecessary tale!
However, after a sneaky photo appearing in ‘The Vegan‘ over three months ago, I have made numerous citations about this recipe. I have received many requests for it and since having enjoyed the meal myself several times this week, I don’t feel it’s right for me to keep it to myself any longer…
Missing the deadline…
OK, truth be told, my promise of a new recipe within the week really didn’t live up to much, but I do have some good excuses this time.
Although this post has taken longer than I had originally promised, I have got a truly hearty variation of cottage pie that I’d like to share with you which is bound to warm your cotton socks even during this sad excuse for a British summer that we are currently experiencing…
For The Love Of Cookies…
As Far as I’m concerned, Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero are saints among vegan bakers! Divine cookies, light & fluffy cupcakes and perfectly thin crepes are just the tip of the iceberg.
Among their current five books, they have managed to deliver an assortment of unmatchable recipes for foods that would have previously been deemed impossible for your average vegan baker.
And ‘Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar’ is no exception…
Absence makes the heart grow fonder…
It’s always sad to see a restaurant close, but if anyone decided to read a review of this restaurant now, they could be forgiven for thinking that it was not a sorry goodbye. However, I for one, loved this eatery! It was the first vegetarian restaurant I ever visited and it definitely evokes fond memories. The warm and friendly ambience, along with the trendy and unique ‘American-diner’ décor – Eat & Two Veg was a true gem in the heart of London and just a walk away from Regents Park.
If at first you don’t succeed…
When it comes to working with herbs and spices, I appreciate the varied and wonderful flavours but I am not one of those people who can produce a meal off the top of my head, confident that it will create a palatable result.
Saying that, I do love a challenge but it tends to take me longer to produce something I feel happy about sharing with others…
