I’m a huge fan of lasagne, it has always been one of my favourite foods, even though I eat it very rarely. I recall that mum used to make good lasagne when I was a kid, not often though! It is a dish that requires a bit of work, but the end result is definitely [...]
I haven’t used tempeh much, and it’s not a usual ingredient in Thai curries, but there’s a nice selection of tempeh available to me at the moment and I do quite like it as a change from normal tofu. The tempeh used for this dish comes with some wild rice baked into it. It could [...]
This is a hearty meal to my liking! Ingredients 2 Field Roast Italian Sausages 250g of French beans 2 Carrots 1 Parsnip Shreds of Ginger to taste 2-6 Cloves of Garlic Chopped Chives Handful of Pumpkin Seeds 1 Cup of Brown Rice Serves two. Obviously you can use any Veggie sausages that you happen to [...]
This was virtually all Elizabeth, so I’m not going to post an actual recipe, but look, nice pictures! Well, I did chop the veggies and I rolled one of the nori rolls, but Elizabeth prepared the sushi rice and the seasoning for the veggies (this involved mirin, soy sauce, and sushi vinegar). We used an [...]
Well, you may have thought that food posts and recipes on this blog were a short-lived experiment, but, alas, you were wrong! The lack of dedicated food posts is not so much because I haven’t been cooking (or eating out in places worth mentioning), rather, I’ve been quite busy with just settling in to North [...]
Another dish with my homemade seitan! Ingredients 200g of Seitan (about 20 Balls) 1.5dl Dried Funnel Chantarelles (or 200g Fresh) 2 Small Yellow Onions 1 Jar of Tomato Passata (500g) 1dl Red Wine (I used a Portuguese one: CARM Douro, see below for more details on the wine) Basil, Oregano, Thyme, Rosemary, and some Black [...]
This time a Green Thai Curry. I actually have a slight preference for Red Thai Curry, but I had a jar of Green Thai Curry Paste which needed using, so I went for this (not that the end result is very ‘green’ as such). Ingredients 250g (Marinated) Tofu 2 Sweet Peppers (Red & Orange) 400g [...]
I wanted to try my homemade seitan and I had some Kashmiri Masala Curry paste, so I ended up cooking this rather tasty curry. Ingredients 200-300g of (Marinated) Seitan 1 Small Aubergine 1 Small Cauliflower 1 Yellow Onion Strips of Fresh Ginger (according to taste) 2-4 Tablespoons of Kashmiri Masala Curry Paste 1 Jar of [...]
I’ve never cooked seitan from scratch before, but I quite like it and it’s certainly a good alternative to tofu. In Finland, seitan is not very readily available, although several specialist stores do stock many tasty products from Wheaty. They are rather expensive though. Fortunately, making seitan yourself is very easy, and it turns out [...]
After my last, very lengthy post about the definition of veganism, here’s another extremely simple and healthy vegan dish for you! This dish may be one of the easiest complete protein (rice plus lentils) dishes for a vegan — at least if you don’t resort to processed soy products. Lentils are also a good source [...]
