Salted plum soda, plus an espresso twist - Messy Vegan Cook
One of my favourited iced drinks, especially if I've been out and about, a bit sweaty, in need of a pick-me-up, is this salted plum soda. Or, if it's the morning after one of those rare warm nights, the salted plum americano variation hits the spot.
On Human Anatomy and Cookie Making - Messy Vegan Cook
Every Christmas as a child and into adulthood my mother and I had an annual anise cookie baking marathon. She'd roll the dough and make the cut-outs. I'd decorate with the plethora of sprinkles and dyed sugar crystals that sat in the back of the cupboard for the rest of the year. Several years ago,...Read More
Mayo and Mango Chutney Baked Tofu - Messy Vegan Cook
Sounds gross, tastes great. I think if I ever opened a diner in which I was in charge of menu titles, that would be the restaurant's name. Half of what I didn't eat straight out of the oven got served with rice, the other half with what you see in the picture: fried spring greens...Read More
For the Love of Kale Stem: Cats Who Enjoy Their Greens - Messy Vegan Cook
The things my cats eat! Dillan enjoying a cavolo nero stem: You wouldn't think a cat would enjoy this sort of thing, but I often find my two gnawing on random vegetables I've dropped on the floor or which are sticking out of the side of the bin. They both get pretty territorial over kale...Read More
Bean Curd Recipe Roundup: Tofu Recipes - Messy Vegan Cook
As much as I wish (don't we all!) I had enough time to work in the kitchen and produce a new recipe each day to share, the whole work and earn money thing sort of gets in the way. But there are so many great recipes I come across on a daily basis, some of...Read More
Top 5 Midnight Snacks - Messy Vegan Cook
I must confess that I am a late-night snacker. I eat little during the day before dinner, but come midnight I desire a comfort fix. It's as if I suffer from PMT (PMS) every night, like a snack craving Cinderella. If I don't make it home and into bed by midnight, my normally complacent appetite...Read More
Organise and print your favourite MoFo recipes with ease - Messy Vegan Cook
So here's the deal: I want a good way to keep all these delicious MoFo recipes sorted and organised in a method that doesn't involve ridiculous stacks of unruly papers which I'll never find again until my partner points out to me that he actually dealt with my crap and filed them away somewhere reasonable....Read More
Urban Vegan Tester: Pasta with Red Peppers and Basil - Messy Vegan Cook
I wasn't convinced about this recipe from the Dynise Balcavage's upcoming cookbook until I made it. There's something about slow cooked bell peppers that makes a dish special, and as soon as these hit my mouthhole here my initial doubt faded. Zesty and smooth, this is a pasta dish for capsicum fans. Doused with some...Read More
The other side of people, or my teary-eyed Chatuchak visit - Messy Vegan Cook
In the magical land of Thailand, where every little girl has a pony and rainbows are a form of currency, a vegetarian festival exists for nine days of every year. Contrary to what tourist websites and boards will tell you, this isn't just local to Phuket, but is celebrated across the country. Street vendors swap...Read More
All You Will Need To Know About Metric - Messy Vegan Cook
On page five of the November 9, 1976 edition of The Crofton Courier (Crofton is a small-ish town in the American state of Maryland, about 30 miles from Washington D.C.), a full page feature about metric conversion was printed. A brief history of conversion in the U.S. This slightly-larger-than-a-clipping piece was saved by my grandmother,...Read More
Urban Vegan Tester: Tart au Citron - Messy Vegan Cook
Another recipe from Dynise's upcoming cookbook, the texture of this luscious lemon tart is just as I remember my grandma's lemon meringue pie filling. I'm not at all sorry that there's only two of us around here to eat the whole pie, not sorry in the least. It's not a tricky pie to master, either,...Read More
