This is one of my standbys when I’m tired and feeling unimaginative. It was especially fabulous when I gave up meat for Lent this year, and promptly regretted it because I couldn’t cope with long work days and then being…

Recipe: One step up from takeaway
Today is the first day of my holidays, which means that I am exhausted to the point that I spent about ten minutes wandering around the kitchen at lunchtime today dithering about how to make a salad and continually opening…
Recipe: Bulgur Wheat and Mushroom Burgers
I’ve been meaning for a while to post a recipe from Vegetarian Suppers from Deborah Madison’s Kitchen, to go with the review I wrote. It’s actually very hard to choose just one, but these burgers are are a recipe I…
Recipe: Date and Pistachio Petits Fours (Mersu)
Inspired by The Silk Road Gourmet’s Mesopotamian Cookoff, I went a little crazy in the kitchen today and made not one, not two, but three versions of Mersu. The sum of the Mersu recipe was “Ingredients: dates and pistachios”. The…
Recipe: Potato and Kale Enchiladas
By request, another recipe adapted from Veganomicon, and the last I’m going to post this year, for reasons of fair use. Mostly what I changed in this recipe was the chilli sauce, which developed quite a different range of chillis…

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…
