Macaroni "cheese" bake made with nutritional yeast Pancakes drizzled in agave nectar

Muchos food porn....


For you to drool over! Here are some chapattis, above, which I made to serve with a coconutty korma, below, with tofu, brocolli, onions, bell peppers and flaked almonds, served on a bed of quinoa.

Who needs eggs or cheese when you can make a scrummy brocolli quiche like the one below, using tofu and nutritional yeast?


Here it is again, served up with a baby new potatoes and spring onions in Plamil egg-free mayonnaise. And the recipe-

Welcome to my kitchen!




Hello and welcome to my new blog. This is going to be a food blog, with food porn aplenty, recipes, and cookbook and product reviews, plus whatever else I might feel inclined to write about.


And of course, being a cruelty-free kitchen, everything is 100% vegan. :)
