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 …
Raw vegan mango tart One of our dreams is to run a small ‘underground restaurant’ from our home, maybe twice a month, serving raw vegan food. Which is why I keep practicing these raw vegan desserts. I tried this raw mango tart a while ago. It had a really lovely fresh fruity flavour. So good …
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. …
Selection raw nut cheeze rolls One of the hardest things about going vegan is getting over the desire for cheese. Since we discovered raw nut cheezes, it has been much easier. These soft nut cheeze rolls are great for snacking, especially with raw onion bread or raw flax cracker biscuits. The basic cheeze recipe – 2 C macadamia …

And of course pasta wouldn’t be pasta without parmesan cheese. At our last dinner party, we served a raw sweet potato pasta and tangy tomato sauce, with a vegan parmesan cheez. Vegan parmesan …
Vegan spelt crust quiche Karen has wanted to try vegan baking for a while now. When I was at the London Vegfest a while ago, there were loads of recipe books on special, and I bought her the “Whole Grain VEGAN BAKING” by Celine Steen and Tamasin Noyes. This spelt-crusted quiche was the first dish we tried, …
Raw (and healthy) Moch Tort We are really getting into this raw concept, and just loving it. Karen recently bought “Raw Food detox” by Anya Ladra, and having friends for dinner the other evening was just the excuse to try out her Mocha Tort with cacao almond pastry. It was absolutely delicious, and all our …
At Kensington Olympia – London I’ve left our boat in the Netherlands now, and on the way home to South Africa via London. I’d seen in the latest Vegetarian Living mag, that the London Vegfest would be on at the Kensington Olympia exhibition centre while I was there. I couldn’t miss that opportunity! Gosh I wish …
