My mum’s excess food purchases seem to inspire a lot of my cooking nowadays. I’ve always said that from the amount she cooks she should have had 5 boys. She got stuck with one overfed lil’ lady who loves to cook too!
This week, she bought industrial-sized bags of walnuts and pine nuts. I went for the first thing that you would think of with pine nuts (apart from maybe Spanakopita) and surprise,

Aside from the name people always accidentally call me, the reuben is also supposedly a very tasty sandwich. 
I love sandwiches so very much (I’m just gonna drop this here). Wiki’s page “List of Sandwiches” is legitimately exciting to me – the ‘broodje kroket, ‘yakisoba-pan‘, the ‘carrozza‘! I want to make them all and just looking at the list is a great way to get food-spiration on simple but exciting food.

We were gifted a red cabbage the other day which has plunged me into another culinary unknown. What to do with a red cabbage?

I decided to look up restaurants around me that would allow me to at long last hop on the ramen craze that has been around for so long.
It can be difficult to find restaurants that can balance vegetarianism whilst still maintaining authenticity and respect for the original recipe. Some cuisines struggle with this more than others.

This is our vegetarian food blog. Finally.
In this incredibly informal blog, we will mainly be posting pictures and recipes from the food adventures we have at home. The aim is to explore the fundamentals of recipes as a basis to play and expand the vegetarian repertoire. Basically, I hope for you to be able to be a fly on the wall as I faff about in the kitchen learning things.
We also like to experience other chefs attempts at a satisfying vegetarian meal.
