Everybody who knows me by now will tell you, I am a huge Ree Drummond fan. I have never missed an episode before, thanks to the record button and binge watching over the weekends. Time and time again I will see her making tex mex dishes and I really want to try them out, but … Continue reading Tex Mex vegetarian chilli

I very seldom make veggie curries. I can count the number of times I make a meat free curry on my one hand. Firstly my mother is a full time veggie eater and well my dad when he fasts he wants the day to go by quickly. He is a very fussy eater when he … Continue reading Vegan pot pie

The original version of this recipe was to be made over the coals, seeing as I am not the ultimate braai master, I decided to adapt the recipe to my needs and make it in the oven.

I have always wanted to try tofu and after … Continue reading Sweet and sticky tofu with bok choy

I am not a fan of omelette, no that they don’t taste delicious or anything, but the fact that I can never fold the halves over each other. They always seem to break at the join and in my frustration I just turn them into scrambled eggs. Now I have never heard of a vegan … Continue reading Vegan omelette

Come Friday and I am lazy to make anything that requires me to use brain power, hence potatoe curry, I can make it in my sleep. I never follow a potatoe curry recipe from a book, firstly my … Continue reading Tamarind, tomatoe and potatoe curry

I love spinach, especially when it is braised just by itself. Then when I came across a recipe where paneer was added to it, I just had to try it out and I loved it. I doubt I will ever eat plain braised spinach anymore. I am not sure how well my dad will take … Continue reading Spinach and paneer
