Review: Vegetarian Suppers from Deborah Madison’s Kitchen, by Deborah Madison, of course
Now that you’ve all recovered from yesterday’s shocking revelations, I thought I’d write about another much-loved book, which I happened to cook from last night (the mushroom, burghul and nut burgers, if you are interested, and very nice they are,…
Who are you and what have you done with Catherine?
It’s been a little quiet around here, which wasn’t my intention. Several of you have asked me for particular recipes – which I will get to, I promise! – but work has just gone into grant-writing mode again, and I…

Show-off post: Cross Dressing Ken goes Vegan and Gluten Free
My friend G has had a friend visiting for the last few weeks, and when she came around for dinner at our house a fortnight ago, she enquired about the tankard which contains Ken’s top half (his legs float around…
Recipe: Roast Garlic and White Bean Chilli
Photographic evidence of Cross-Dressing Ken’s latest cake adventures will be up later this evening, but I just need to get this recipe down before I forget what I did! This is another vegan chilli recipe, but this time it’s gluten…
