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…

Recipe: Vegetarian Chilli
DON’T FORGET TO SOAK YOUR BEANS! (putting them in to soak before you go to work in the morning is fine) This recipe is adapted from one of the Moosewood Cookbooks – I’m afraid I can’t recall which, as I…
Recipe: Grapefruit Pectin Jellies
These jellies are basically the point of grapefruit, at least in my opinion. I find grapefruit far too bitter to eat, but the bitterness and sourness help the pectin to set the jelly, and the resulting confection is just sweet…
Book Review: Veganomicon: The Ultimate Vegetarian Cookbook, by Isa Chandra Moskovitz and Terry Hope Romero
I’ve referenced this book at least ten times already in this blog, and I’ve adapted dozens of recipes from it for various occasions. So it’s definitely time I reviewed it. I’m going to start by saying that I’m not a…
Recipe: Raspberry, Soy and Coconut Ice-cream
This recipe comes more or less directly from Veganomicon, with a little extra verbiage from me. I’m afraid you do need a blender and an icecream maker for this – I suppose in a pinch you could put everything through…

Living dangerously
Here’s the planned menu for tomorrow’s (actually, it’s now today’s) dinner. It’s vegan, gluten free, and free of a bunch of other bad-tempered fruits, vegetables and fruit-derived products (ie, no wine or vinegar) that make my guests unhappy. I’m taking…
Basics that aren’t: Scones
This recipe doesn’t come with pictures, because the first thing you need to know about making scones is that the faster you make them, the better they taste. That means no stopping at every step to take the lens cap…
Recipe: Nearly Vegan Banana Bread with Indian Flavours
This recipe is as vegan as a cake can be that has honey in it. I don’t actually know any vegans who eat honey, but I’ve heard they exist. But don’t worry – honey could easily be swapped out in…
Recipe: Ricotta and Herbs
Still feeling too seedy to really be creative, so here’s a really short, easy recipe, inspired by The Complete Italian Vegetarian Cookbook. This recipe makes me feel a little sad, because right now is absolutely not the season for it…
