Vegetarian Reviews

I made this recipe for guests last night and they were really impressed! Actually they would not believe I made it, thought is was from a shop! It is really tasty, and enough for 6-8 people. I love food you make the day before, and then just reheat, as you can relax and enjoy time with guests, rather than be panicking in the ...

Not exactly being known as a domestic goddess I nonetheless thought that I might share one of my favourite recipes with you all today. So if there is anybody else out there who, like me, loves good food but is not too confident (or even interested for that matter) when it comes to cooking it I suggest you still give this a try. As ...

A few months ago a friend came over for some wine and a chat and we decided we needed to cook something really nice for the evening as we both had had a difficult week. We went on the internet and had a search and came up with this. Over the months I have tweaked it so that it’s now my signature dish. You need: 200 ...

Some - if not all - of my favourite spiced Indian dishes are those made with vegetables. In fact, the finest vegetarian foods, in my opinion, are those wonderfully spiced dishes from the parts of India where meat is not eaten at all. This simple recipe is my own creation, something a bit unusual, but a firm favourite. In case you ...

Couscous can be prepared with a range of different flavours. It is a versatile food that can be used as part of a salad, turned into a garnish or simply served as a main meal. Another advantage is that something quite delicious can be prepared very quickly. The following is one of my favourite traditional couscous recipes that I first came across ...

I am a big fan of the humble chick pea. It is such a versatile wee fellow that tastes fantasic in a wide range of dishes - I particularly like my very own chicken and chick pea curry, invented in a time of student poverty and perfected over many years. However, this, as you may have guessed is not the recipe I will be sharing with you today, as ...

I am going to write a review about a well known indian dish which i cook and eat on a regular basis. The dish is called "Chilli Paneer", which is basically just soft cheese, which can be foun in most supermarkets, fruit and veg shops as well as local off liences such as Londis. Now you may think how can you possibly eat cooked ...

Right now I could be killed for letting you know in this secret family recipe, so please do not mention my name and instead tell your friends it’s yours!! For a 22 cm tart you will need: - French mustard (English one will do the trick but it has to be strong) - Gruyere cheese (please do not replace with Cheddar, it ...

Ingredients 1kg butternut squash 3 tbsp groundnut oil 1 sliced ...

I have to admit first of all that I've nicked this recipe from the Somerfield mag but since it tastes gorgeous I thought I would share it with you all. I'm not really a big fan of vegetables normally but that's probably because I've always had them as a side dish and not as a stir fry like this which has a bit of a kick to ...

Food, glorious Food. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I got into a conversation the other day about the difficulty of making cheap and easy meals especially when you don’t own a freezer. For most people this wouldn’t apply but for students and people living in a bed-sit this can be a major obstacle and eating out or buying ...

I recently submitted a recipe for minced lamb curry and received a comment from someone about having to substitute the lamb for vegetables, so I have decided to include a nice vegetarian variation for those of us who don’t eat meat. This recipe is very similar to the minced lamb curry, except that the main ingredient is kidney beans ...

D’yer know, ma wifee and kids have been vegetarian for years so much so that my kids have never eaten meat ever since birth? That's amazing isn't it? In fact, if anything looks remotely meatish they immediately get a flame thrower out and blast the plate with Fahrenheit 451. I jumped on the bandwagon a few years ago at a Tony Robbins convention in ...
