It was a sad day when Troggs closed down. Did it ever move anywhere else?

It should last for 3-4 days in an airtight container in the fridge.

That’s great, I love it when non-veggie places are so accommodating & helpful. My husband & I stayed at the Kemp Townhouse in Brighton on our wedding night & they made us an amazing vegan breakfast the next day. I’ll be trying your asparagus soup too, it looks great.

how long does Cashew Creme last in the fridge? I made some for the first time last week but after a couple of days it looked manky so I threw it out…

Comment on With So Many Cafes in Brighton, Why is it So Hard to Get a Decent Cup of Coffee? by Anna

remind me to buy some of that Small Batch Coffee next time I visit, and why the hell haven’t you taken me to any of these places, you know I love a good coffee?!?!?

Hiya!

That blog just reminded me of that Heston Blumenthal big feast episode when he found a cookbook for microwave meals. Sometimes change is good!

Comment on FRUIT SALAD? AGAIN?! GIVE ME A PROPER DESSERT PLEASE WAITER! by Danny

Danny — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 14:21:34 +0000

Well, the actual filling substance is nuts but you could use silken tofu. Whizz it up in a blender, add the chocolate, vanilla & Agave but no water. This should come out quite nicely. If its a little runny, place it into the tart cases and chill for approx. 20 mins. This should set it. Make sure they don’t stay in too long though or it could set like rock!

This sounds BEYOND delicious. If you were making it for someone with a nut allergy would you just take out the cashews, or would you substitute something else?

Comment on MEAT SUBSTITUTES ARE FINE AT HOME, BUT THAT BETTER NOT BE TVP IN MY CHILLI, CHEF! by Danny

Danny — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 16:40:18 +0000

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I understand what you’re saying and it’s true that many cafes that serve meat serve meat-free sausages and bacon and yes, when I visit these places, I eat them too. The point I was making was that there are some vegetarian and vegan establishments out there that do this too. I think that if you go out to a restaurant/cafe that specialises in a specific cuisine, they should be the best at what they do and to me, that means making your own food.

Comment on MEAT SUBSTITUTES ARE FINE AT HOME, BUT THAT BETTER NOT BE TVP IN MY CHILLI, CHEF! by Carolyn Stapleton

Carolyn Stapleton — Sat, 12 Feb 2011 21:21:09 +0000

I reckon it’s fine for a cafe to serve meat analogues, because it gives people a chance to try a vegan sausage or a vegan ‘bacon’ or whatever, without having to buy a whole pack. A lot of people sniff at meat subs until they try them, and realise they’re quite tasty. I do understand your point, but plenty of non vegetarian cafes obviously use pre-prepared stuff with abandon. If it was a rather high-end place maybe I’d feel differently, but if you were eating a fried breakfast there, I suspect it wasn’t high-end. Was the place in London, may I ask? I have a suspicion I know where you’re talking about y’see.

Comment on If they Don’t Contain Meat, are they Still Called Pigs in Blankets? by Anna

Anna — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 20:11:50 +0000

Is that 240g of dried chickpeas or the weight after they’re cooked? I am going to add puff pastry to my shopping list for tomorrow so I can make these for the boys asap! )

Lovely sounding, might make them for christmas day nibbles. In step 7 do you really mean roll the pastry out to 3cm thick?

Comment on The Hens May Thank Me But What Am I Supposed To Dip My Chips In Now?! by Anna

Anna — Fri, 26 Nov 2010 12:41:50 +0000

not your immagination, cheese does actually have morphine, coedine and other opiates in it which hooks you in and is hard to kick. http://www.all-creatures.org/health/breaking.html

The very idea of an egg makes me feel sick now and so does the idea of eating ‘cow cheese’ as S calls it. Quite amazing as I lived for years on boiled eggs and cheese on toast (literally mainly those things at times!) and had a severe cheese addiction!

I happened to ‘accidentally’ pop over after Danny had been making the above soup of wintery goodness. Oh my God, it’s truly soup-er (sorry for the ‘Dad’ joke). But it is…..how can a soup be so so yummy and make me lick the bowl?!

Carrot soup is one of S’ favourite meals, he asks for it all the time! I don’t make mine as fancy as this but maybe I’ll try it and see what he thinks next time he wants some for tea!

ps little A is still waiting for the sausage roll recipe!

Thanks Bev! Your recipe for Sesame Parmesan Sprinkle looks great. It’s a real shame the some doctors just aren’t aware of the health benefits of some foods which don’t contain animal products. Let’s all try and help change that!

PS – How are you with pasta now? Have you moved on to having it for dessert as well?!

Comment on Don’t Be Scared, it’s Only Food! by Bev

Bev — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 09:01:09 +0000

Your recipe looks scrumptious. Roasted peppers (or capsicums as we call them in Aus) have a totally different taste than when they are raw.

I really enjoyed your blog post. I’ve been vegetarian for 38 years and vegan for a almost 3 years and we rarely go out for meals because it is just too difficult to find a restaurant that will cater. I went to my husbands work Christmas party at a restaurant several years ago (before I became vegan) and I was given the same pasta dish as an entree as well as main meal…lol.

Thanks Hanna! I’ll try and get a pic up but I had problems uploading one.

With the garlic, sorry about that mistake there. Take a clove of peeled garlic and rub it on the freshly toasted ciabatta. It adds a really subtle but noticeable flavour.

Cheers!

Hey Danny,

Lovely first blog and this recipe looks scrummy. I will definitely give it a go. Can you include a photo next time? then I know what I’m aiming for! Oh and the recipe asks for garlic, but it wasn’t in the ingredients listing, should it be chopped? Should I roast it with the peppers and tomatoes?

I’ll send you a pic with my attempt! Lots of vego love xxx
