Vegan Quiche So here is our recipe for the courgette vegan quiche that we served as a main course for the first run of our vegan underground restaurant. See the last post. We had been trying to make a good vegan quiche for a while. Some (non vegan) friends invited us for dinner, and …
Karen and I have always dreamed of hosting a vegan underground restaurant in our home. Where did this daft idea come from then? Long before we discovered raw and vegan food, we always enjoyed having dinner parties at home and entertaining with food. I just love being in the kitchen making things. Several years ago …
Fool proof bean burgers Over the years we have had many attempts at vegan bean burgers with varying success, the main problem being getting them to stick together. Still on our boat, Karen came up with these – Guest post by Karen: Have you ever seen a yummy looking recipe for a bean burger? And …
Melty vegan cheeze This melty vegan cheeze is great. Working is one of those unfortunate necessities of life, and I’ve been working offshore for the last 6 weeks.

Smoked Tofu Steaks – vegan and healthy way to entertain Tofu steaks with raw mango chutney In last week’s post, I gave the recipe for the starter (raw sweetcorn chowder) at our last dinner party. Now for the main course, which was smoked tofu steaks with a raw mango chutney, sweet potato chips and salads. …

Nevertheless, we continue to invite people for dinner parties and serve up raw and/or vegan food. The good thing is, mostly, our guests are pleasantly …
Vegan chickpea cutlets Having had such success with our Vegan Ham at Xmas, we wanted to find a quick and easy vegan meal with that ‘meatiness’ which would appeal to our carnivore friends.
