PUMPKIN PIE

by in Recipes November 10, 2021

Getting into the Halloween spirit I decided to make Pumpkin Pie.  I like this recipe as it is not too sweet and has a hint of spice but not overpowering.  And the Pastry is delicious and easy to work with.  Use Gluten Free Flours if you want a gluten free pastry. PASTRY: FILLING: PASTRY: Sift […]

PERSIAN HERB RICE

by in Recipes November 3, 2021

I made this Rice dish to go with the Spiced Lamb and Apricot Stew and it was really delicious.  Everyone who ate it specifically commented on how delicious it was.  It was quite time consuming compared to the Stew but it was worth it.  The crunchy base really added a lovely texture. It is from […]

JACKFRUIT TACOS

This recipe for Vegan Tacos is really tasty.  I have never cooked with Jackfruit before so was interested to see what it would be like.  I actually really liked it, it gives a meaty texture to the dish. I used the recipe from “The Wicked Healthy Cookbook” for the preparation of the Jackfruit, but then […]

I have made this Tofu Steak a couple of times and I really love it. I serve it with a bowl of Miso Soup. The recipe is from the cookbook “Everyday Harumi”, although I have reduced the amount of soy sauce in the sauce recipe as originally I found it too salty.   First make […]
