Having a Vegan for Dinner

Maybe I should try to find my friends via email marketing software, I would advertise for somebody who was adaptable, instead of the dedicated health food vegans that I seem to attract. Still, it is great to have friends, and it is great to make all of them feel welcome in your home, the problem is, entertaining on a week night, when you have little time when you come home from work and need to get something quick, delicious More

The Main Vegan Event

What do you do if one of your dinner guests is a vegan and the others are meat and three veg with jewellery designed by ortak? Well, my approach is to create food that resembles the ’shape'of a traditional meal, while omitting all of the animal products.

What often puts people with unadventurous palates off of health food is that they are actually unaccustomed to global cuisine and the spices that it entails. So, if you serve a meat and More

Inspire your Friends

Keeping your new year resolutions is difficult, but inspiring your friends to do the same might require a self confidence coach london. Well that is what I am going to do. You can help everybody you know by throwing a detox dinner party. Of course, depending on your circle of friends it is up to you if you let them know the theme of the party. Otherwise, just serve them this brilliant meal, and feel everybody’s spirits lift.

Party Food for the Heart

I have one of those storage units which is like a treasure trove. I dove in the other day to find one of my mum’s old cookbooks. I was both appalled and inspired, the recipes seemed both delicious and disgusting at the same time. As I am on the verge of hosting a New Year’s evening for a bunch of health nut foodies, I thought I would have a go at adapting some of the old classics for a new More

In praise of the Jacket

Who am I to give you free advice? But for healthy living and economy you could do worse than to become close friends with the jacket potato. Its filling and before you add fillings it is low in fat. It can form the basis of a healthy lunch or dinner and can be either cheap and cheerful or dressed up.

The basics. 60-75 minutes at 200˚C/400˚F/Gas Mark 6

Fruit Trees

Life is different if you have a fruit tree. The bounty tends to appear at once and you are absolutely stuck trying to consume as much as possible when simultaneously attempting to preserve in innovative ways. Looking at a list of Florida villas to rent, I saw a lot of them which featured yards with mango trees. Florida mangoes are in season May through September and they aren’t like plums which come on suddenly and then disappear. Here on More

Mushrooms

You either love them or hate them, but mushrooms are a great addition to any breakfast, lunch or dinner. I was at my friend’s house and she is growing them in a storage unit in her backyard. I was completely inspired. Three heaped tablespoons of cooked mushrooms is one portion. They can be a great substitute for meat in making a vegetarian curry or chilli and a large marinated portabello is an excellent alternative for a burger when pan fried, More

Christmas Pudding

I have to admit that some years I am tempted to have my husband look for a locum doctor job in Turkey so I will be saved from the horrible Christmas Pudding that is his family’s tradition. Why is it that there is no choice of pud at Christmas? Fresh fruit instead per chance? I am trying to understand what it is that I dislike so much about it, so that I can create a lovely alternative. There are two More

Five a Day Cottage Pie

If you wear designer jewellery why would you eat an ordinary cottage pie? You need a spectacular and unique take on the British classic that reflects your need for healthy eating as well as your love of comfort food.

Cottage Pie involves two layers that you can play with, a savoury filling that is traditionally beef mince and vegetables seasoned with tomato, thyme and bay leaf, and a creamy topping of mashed potatoes.

Sadly, potatoes do not count as one More

The Best Guinness Stew for Vegetarians

Not many people know that if you are cooking for a vegetarian, you are going to want to omit the Guinness because the production involves isinglass which is made from fish. So I found myself trying to adapt a wonderful stew recipe for some of my favourite carrot heads. It is a boozy beef stew and you can use anything from fosters to a porter that is suitable for vegetarians. There are a couple of key tricks that make this More
