This recipe is the unnatural spawn of three different recipes – one in Veganomicon, for a low-fat vegan chocolate cake, one in 366 Delicious Ways To Cook Rice, Beans and Grains (which, incidentally, is an incredibly useful cookbook if you…

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…
Recipe: Microwave Lemon Curd, with bonus meringue
Just a short post today, because today has been loooong… and it hasn’t even had any cooking in it. Of course, it might have felt less loooong if I hadn’t decided last night that the best solution to ‘where can…
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…
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…

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…
Recipe: Lovely Rice Pudding For Dinner Again
After you all egged me on to make rice pudding the other day, I found myself compelled to give it a try. The difficulty was, my evil, chocolate-loving side wanted to make a completely decadent rice pudding with chocolate and…
Recipe: Onion Soup for a Sick Day
The Christopher Robinish breakfast didn’t work, so it’s time to resort to my ultimate virus-fighting weapon: onion soup. What what could be stronger, heartier, or more pungent? No virus would dare colonise a body with this many allicins in it,…
