We are back in the thick of doing vegan pop-up dining events at our house – every second Saturday. Haviving to make and serve up a four course meal for up to 12 people, we have found doing a chilled soup is a great starter – easy to prepare well before hand and can be …
A momentary break from the French slant – but don’t worry, there will be more of that influence to come. With our pop-up ding in Cape Town, we have also been trying traditional South African dishes. So here is a vegan Melktert. Recipe came courtesy of Plant Restaurant, which unfortunately is no longer operating. This …

Of course, the inspiration and basic recipes for these come from my raw food guru – Deborah Durrant. Check out her website at Deliciously Raw…. and if you are ever in a …
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 …
