Real Food Market London On our last day in London we decided to visit the Real Food Market – Southbank – London. We read about it in the British Airways magazine and the article said the market was located at the Royal Festival Hall. Apparently they have a market every weekend but had been quiet …
So I am still at the helm of Patrick’s blog but hopefully all the repairs to our house are soon over and we can wake up with a day in hand to do the things we enjoy. Things like make good food and talk about our forays into food-making in this blog. Last week I mentioned …
Profanity Stout Daily specials at Stereo In the last two blog posts, Patrick and I have spoken about eating out in Glasgow. We would not have found any of the places we visited were it not for the Vegetarian Guides. And I can’t help but wish we had such a thing here in Cape Town. …
Beetroot hummous Last week Patrick told you about Saramago, and the 13th Note. Two vegetarian cafe bars in Glasgow. See that blog post – here. Chickpea salad After our drink at The 13th Note we headed for – Mono – restaurant. It’s not that easy to find as it turns out. Down a road and tucked …

Red cabbage, leaf, feta and tomato salad with Finn Crisp crackers Here is a typical lunch for us when we are at home. When we are out and about, I must confess it’s a different story. When eating on the run it’s a hundred, thousand times harder to find good wholesome food. And I can …
We both love oatcakes. Oats is sooo good for you for a number of reasons. Read more here. We’ve already made Cinnamon Oatcakes – here – and Cheesy Oatcakes – here. While we are in Scotland we tend to try the different brands available in the supermarkets. Back home in South Africa, we get the Nairns brand oatcakes …
Curried Coleslaw and Vegetarian Lincoln Sausages Coleslaw is a great low carb salad. But – the mayonnaise dressing can be high in fat. Most commercial low fat mayonnaise is diluted down – often with water and starchy thickeners to keep the consistency. Ingredients for creamy curry dressing I prefer to dilute mayonnaise myself. I usually …
Low Carb Irish Soda Bread my flour at left and Atkins flour at right I have made Colette Heimowitz – Atkins – low carb bread – see here – and here – so many times now. It’s great bread. Two slices for breakfast with peanut butter or a slice of cheese and I’m full for hours. The texture …
