Tofu chocolate pudding That’s the question that popped up at a friend’s birthday breakfast this morning. A whole group of us were sitting round one table enjoying the meal – either the scrambled egg and bacon, or the ‘healthy option’ of fruit, muesli and yoghurt. Both were very good indeed, and there was much comment …
Fritata ingredients Karen and I are putting together a website of the same name as this blog – Meat Free Everyday. At the beginning, I wondered if there was room for yet another site about food and recipes. But over the last few weeks I have been amazed at the number of people who do …
Ingredients for ricotta stuffed mushrooms I love cheese, but have always stuck to the blander ones like cheddar, edam or ementhaler. Living with a vegetarian, I have discovered how to use some more adventurous types such as mozzarella, haloumi and ricotta. At this point I have to confess I am a wholehearted fan of Jamie …
Vegetarian Stroganoff Living with a vegetarian, and having a few hardcore vegetarian friends, I have seen there is quite a difference of opinion on this topic. From what I can gather, the ‘purist’ vegetarian will only eat his food straight out the ground, or from the tree so to speak. He doesnt seem to accept any …
Peppers and onions – veggie roasting basket I cannot lie – I DO miss the odd barbeque, or ‘braaivleis’ as it is known in South Africa. But there are ways to make a ‘barbie’ something that vegetarians can enjoy too. We used to just wrap potatoes or onions in tin foil, pop them on the …
Berry, banana and nut smoothie In my last post I complained about the breakfast rip off for vegeatarians eating out. So here is a tasty, healthy option, for at home anyway: Berry, banana and nut smoothie. You can use any available berries or nuts, but here I used blueberries and almonds. These dark berries give …
Vegetarians eat out as well! There are two things that I find most annoying when eating out with Karen: The Vegetarian Rip Offs. One – Pay more for Less! The first is best described by relating a specific incident that Karen experienced a while ago. She was having breakfast out with a girl friend of …
Living with Karen, my vegetarian wife, I have learned a lot! The first is probably that to be a committed vegetarian and get ones required daily nutritional intake is hard work. So, is being vegetarian necesarily healthy? Quite possibly not. If one simply drops meat out of one’s diet, one is likely not to feel …
Here is the recipe I promised in the previous post. If you already have your own tried and tested meat version, you can of course simply replace the meat sauce part with my vegetarian mince option and go ahead. I used Dry Soya (or Textured Vegetable Protein) instead of a vegetarian mince. Both should be …
Welcome to this first post on Meat Free Everyday. So – what DO vegetarians eat then? As Karen my vegetarian wife says, they eat everything that anyone else eats, except the meat. Chicken and fish count as meat! This implies that they have the same dietary requirements as any other person, in order to keep healthy. People …
