Courgette Latkes As you will have noted, I am not exactly doing a lot of cooking lately. I think I have a valid excuse at the moment – I am working offshore, doing what one has to do to earn a living. And this adds a whole new dimension to trying to be vegetarian, let …
Raw Chocolate Smoothie and Snackaroons Superfood Centre – Amsterdam ….And the third of the vegetarian eateries we tried while in Amsterdam – Superfood Centre. See Bolhoed and De Vliegende Schotel posts. Superfood Centre is more of a Health Shop than a restaurant, though there are one or two small tables where you can sit and munch your snacks. It is …
Amsterdam – De Vliegende Schotel – Dutch stamppot This is the second of the vegetarian restaurants we tried in Amsterdam.See my last post about Bolhoed. De Vliegende Schotel is a bit more off the beaten track, (right up the end of Nieuwe Leliestraat), and not particularly inviting from the outside. The reviews we read on …

Spicy Beans and Apple – with sweetcorn fritters We are in the last throes of packing up to move house, so not only is there not much in the kitchen to cook, there are not many utensils nor pots and pans to cook in or with. Not surprising then, I ended up with a dish …
Smoked Bean Curd Bakes and salad In a post on Courgette Latkes a while ago, I mention a Smoked Bean Curd Bake with a Walnut and Mushroom stuffing recipe. Both these came from the Vegan Society Xmas recipe selection – see here Well, the thing with this recipe is that the dish needs to be sort …
Homemade muesli, fresh fruit and yoghurt We will be moving house at the end of the month, so was on a bit of a mission to use up stuff in the larder and fridge. Came up with this muesli mix, which turned out most delicious. About 2 cups each of: Wheat germ Digestive bran and …
