Since I last posted Karen and I have been very busy in the kitchen. We have just hosted another successful pop-up dinner at our house. Check out our Green and Vegan FB page .

When we decided to make this sweetcorn chowder as a starter for our pop up dining event, (check out our Green & Vegan FB page) we originally opted for a raw recipe. When we tested it, yes it was tasty, but to be honest – tasted – raw! So we changed tack completely, and ended …

A momentary break from the French slant – but don’t worry, there will be more of that influence to come. With our pop-up ding in Cape Town, we have also been trying traditional South African dishes. So here is a vegan Melktert. Recipe came courtesy of Plant Restaurant, which unfortunately is no longer operating. This …

Over there years we have made several nut roasts but have never found a really great recipe. I came across this vegetarian Lentil …
