BLT – Vegan Version At last a vegan version of the BLT (Bacon lettuce and tomato) sandwich! Back at home in our wonderful kitchen at last! We have had a wonderful time travelling but making healthy food and blogging has not been easy, and I must apologize for not posting for a while. On our travels we …
Fool proof bean burgers Over the years we have had many attempts at vegan bean burgers with varying success, the main problem being getting them to stick together. Still on our boat, Karen came up with these – Guest post by Karen: Have you ever seen a yummy looking recipe for a bean burger? And …
Smoked Tempeh Bacon Last week I used smoked tempeh ‘bacon’ in the stir fry recipe, and here is the promised tempeh smoking recipe. But before I do that, there is one aspect I must touch on – Carnivores often ask why us vegetarian/vegans keep making ‘meat look-alike’ dishes. On the one hand, they are right …
Vegan Stir Fry Smoked Tempeh and vegan stir fry I seem to think stir fries were originally the domain of carnivores – it was a good way to quickly cook a meal. But our vegan stir fries are one of Karen’s favourite meals. I’m not going to give a specific recipe, as you can stir …

Vegan ‘fry up’ People often ask why vegans or vegetarians try to make carnivore look alike meals. I am not really sure why we do this, but at the moment we have Karen’s parents staying with us, and they are not even vegetarian, let alone vegan. I think we do this to make them feel …
Vegan ham We have been wanting to do more with seitan, but simply have not got around to it. Karen’s parents, who are hard core carnivores, are here for Xmas, so we needed to produce something ‘meatlike’ for Xmas lunch yesterday. Karen did a brilliant job and came up with this vegan ham, or gammon. …
Pizza 1 – Red pepper, sweet onion, spinach, fennel & walnuts We first tasted these raw pizzas a while ago. They were delicious and filling, and I have been wanting to make them myself for some time. Finally got around to it. I did a test run before letting them loose on our guests. I …
Carrot flax cracker biscuits I am beginning to sound like a stuck record, but this raw food concept is just amazing! (I usually hate that word!) The food is not only so tasty, but extremely satisfying without leaving you feeling full or bloated. Another of my pet hates is wasting food. The other day I …
