vegan food workshop →
when my friend lucy told me about a vegan food workshop that was taking place on a sunday afternoon in january, i jumped at the chance! i have wanted to take part in a vegan cookery course for a…

i reorganised my spice cabinet yesterday. it needed it. i realised this when i was looking over a recipe and didn’t remember which spices i actually had – so i made a nice list of everything and…

Vegan Ice Cream
I’ve avoided dairy for a very long time now - even before I found out that I was officially intolerant. And one of the saddest days ever was discovering that I couldn’t eat ice cream any more. Seriously - one of my very favourite treats in high school was a gelati from rita’s water ice. If you’re ever in the greater Philadelphia area, I suggest you track one down.
But then...

what’s the one thing that got you out of bed this morning? a piercing alarm? a beam of sunshine through your curtains? a drill on the road outside?

Oatmeal Alternative
What’s the one thing that got you out of bed this morning? A piercing alarm? A beam of sunshine through your curtains? A drill on the road outside?
For me, it was the prospect of a warming breakfast - this cold weather is not particularly motivating. Give me a bowl of something warm and a mug of something boiling and I’m up and about. I have mentioned before about oatmeal - making it...
you guys want some cookies? →
well hello there! apologies if you aren’t familiar with the hilarity that is corky romano – that clip above might not make any sense. but there has been a lot of talk around the blogs…
wrap it up →
yesterday was blissful – very unlike a monday. i met up with the fabulous naomi for lunch in covent garden, where we munched on vegan delights, and then she showed me the greatest store i’ve…
sweet and spicy →
i feel like i’m always on the hunt for different salmon recipes – we tend to like that fish around here. and while a simple recipe is very nice, sometimes you need a little variety and spice….
veggie curry love →
if you’re about to head out on the town on a saturday night, you need the proper fuel. something that will keep your energy up, so you can party all night long and rock ‘n roll with the rest of…
saturday salad →
saturdays are my favourite because of our local farmers market. it’s so quaint! right by the duck pond in our little village, it has just a handful of stalls (most appear every week, but some…
chain options →
in an ideal world, i’d have unlimited time and money so that i could cook every meal for myself and my friends (and phil). but there are occasions when you want a meal out. and sometimes you want…
non-wild mushrooms →
here’s a challenge for you: try finding wild mushrooms (or cremini mushrooms) during the evening rush on a wednesday in hammersmith. not easy! i only had four things on my shopping list as i made…
another day, another dal →
it’s about that time again. i just couldn’t keep away from dal any longer! and as i have five recipes from mark bittman that i’d like to try, consider this post part two in a series of five.

food cubed →
i hope the title of this post didn’t make you think of spaceman meals or something. it simply refers to the fact that i’m including not one, not two, but THREE recipes in today’s post. it also…
a born chef →
it’s safe to say that i didn’t grow up with a PASSION for cooking. in fact, i really didn’t take any interest in it until last year. that is the truth!
but my aunt brought some very old…
pizza party! →
happy sunday to you! i hope everyone had as much fun as i did last night – it was hard not to have fun at a bar that looked like this:
of course, this photo was taken before the…
far from boring →
last night, i was treated to a delicious meal at my friend jess’s house – along with the rest of our adorable little book club. we meet every 2 months or so to discuss the latest book we’ve…

i majorly slept in today! but i think it’s safe to say i’m over the ridiculous jetlag now i was awoken by the postman who knocked on my door bearing gifts from american apparel and …

greetings from a melting london!
yesterday we had 2-3 inches of snow on the ground. today? nothing! well, not NOTHING, but not MUCH. i feel bad for the little girls in my building who spent an…
beautiful dal →
if you don’t know who mark bittman is, you should. his philosophies on food and cooking just *make sense*. and it seems to me that his recipes are simple enough without being boring or dumbed…
the jetlag cure →
i promise that today’s post will make a LOT more sense than yesterday’s! plus, it’s got an actual recipe in it. that is already an upgrade
to keep ourselves awake yesterday, we went for a…
jetlag = i’m incoherent →
so this should make for an interesting blog post, eh?
but i couldn’t possibly leave this blog back in the days of 2009 for a moment longer. so without further ado, here’s where i’ve been…
