Vegan sushi is something I never in my wildest dreams imagined I would make! But I did, and it worked very well. We served it as a starter at on of our pop-up dining events (check out our Green and Vegan FB page) a while back. A couple of people commented that it was the best …
Vegan underground restaurant
Karen and I have always dreamed of hosting a vegan underground restaurant in our home. Where did this daft idea come from then?

Amazing Aloe – Great superfood
Aloe is our very own local superfood here in Cape Town/South Africa. They are hardy and easy to grow. Our one is doing wonderfully, in a pot on the patio. There are two types – the Vera and Ferox varieties. Ours is apparently Ferox. I use a couple of pieces of the flesh in our …
Green Juice

Vegan Stir Fry
Vegan Stir Fry Smoked Tempeh and vegan stir fry I seem to think stir fries were originally the domain of carnivores – it was a good way to quickly cook a meal. But our vegan stir fries are one of Karen’s favourite meals. I’m not going to give a specific recipe, as you can stir …

London Vegfest 2014
