For the past 15 years of my life (since I was 5!) I've been eating CocoPops for breakfast every morning. Very nice but completely unoriginal. I've made an attempt to jazz up my brekky routine, and I've come up with a theme- Tropicana! OK, quit scoffing I'm serious. Here's the recipes for the Grapefruit cocktail and ...  Read the complete review

Firstly sorry for the bad play on words, but I had to get your attention somehow and other than cooking this naked , which I wouldn't subject you to, that was the only way I could think of: The dish was shown me by my good mate Dave who is a trainee chef, I am hardly a domestic goddess, so if I can do it you can. Have you ...  Read the complete review

If you have a look around the Fruit and Veg stalls at the moment you’ll find that tomatoes and courgettes are particularly good value. In fact, if you’ve got any friends who are keen gardeners now’s the time to pop round, just to see how they are. I bet you come away with a bagful. I know this to be a fact; from now until the ...  Read the complete review

Takes 5 mins to prepare and even less to cook! Ok, so how often have you sat there wondering what on earth you can eat that doesn't take forever, cost the earth and you don't need to go out and buy the ingredients. Why do you normally get that feeling late at night when it's too late to start 'faffing' about ...  Read the complete review

Meat. Even the very sound of the word conjurs up ideas of succulent steak, luscious lamb, perfect pork, delicious duck, beautiful beef, and cold chicken. (Sorry, ran out of aliterative adjectives!). I will happily eat most things that are put in front of me. However, in the cause of fairness, I feel it necessary to list the foods that I despise: ...  Read the complete review

This is a pretty simple recipe that I cobbled together one evening to use up a few bits and pieces. It’s one of those recipes where you can change anything to suit your taste or mood, which is why the quantities are unusually vague for me. Nothing fancy, but it takes literally minutes to prepare, so I find it quite handy for a quick, almost ...  Read the complete review

I personally am a passive meat lover and the thought of vegetarian food doesn’t appeal to me at all. By way of chance we happened to have this dish at a friends house, just a couple of weeks ago, as they are vegetarians and I must say I was pleasantly impressed and surprised. The name of the dish is “Mushroom ...  Read the complete review

This is a very easy one to make and really really tasty! All you do is wash and chop the following vegetables and put them together in a cooking tray with some vegetable oil (so that they don’t stick together), and cook in the oven at about 200°C for about 45 minutes (make sure you stir after 30’). The vegetables are: ...  Read the complete review

Cut up roughly one aubergine, two courgettes, one red pepper, one yellow peopper, one red onion, four large tomatoes and about 6 or 8 garlic cloves still in the paper. You can use the stuff that you found dying in the bottom of the fridge ...  Read the complete review

slsmolblu1977 VEG CURRY This is my speciality vegetarian curry recipe. I have been vegetarian for a while and this is one of my favourites. It’s a mild curry, but I suppose you could add more curry paste if you prefer your curry with a bit more of a kick (in the goolies) taste to it. It’s simply ...  Read the complete review

I'm not very sure about the exact origins of this - a friend gave me the idea a few years ago and I just played around until it tasted good!! We have a lot of bbq's - including the ritual New Year's Eve BBQ and as some of our friends are vegetarian there is always a good mix of food available for all. ...  Read the complete review

I love cooking, but have two reservations in choosing recipes. First, I’m vegetarian; second, I hate meals which rely on split-second co-ordination and timing. If I’m cooking for friends I want to be relaxed enough to enjoy their company, not running around with a stopwatch! This recipe is ideal for cooking if you’ve ...  Read the complete review

That's one of the things I miss most about being a vegetarian, my mum's gravy. She used to make it using the juices from whatever meat we were having that Sunday (I think beef made the best gravy!) with lashings of liquid from the veg (cauliflour for flavour, pea to thicken it up) and a few drops of gravy browning. She used an ...  Read the complete review
