Chilled cucumber-mint soup with a basil pistou
We are back in the thick of doing vegan pop-up dining events at our house – every second Saturday. Haviving to make and serve up a four course meal for up to 12 people, we have found doing a chilled soup is a great starter – easy to prepare well before...
Melktert – Vegan
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...
Ratatouille – French and Vegan
Still on the French mission – to veganize traditional French recipes. And Ratatouille is a pretty easy one, which I made using lovely fresh produce from the local markets we encountered. Ingredients: 2 large courgettes (or 5 or 6 small ones) 2 aubergines 4...
Mushroom Bourguignon
As usual I start with apologizing for not posting in a while. But I would like to think I post when I have something useful to say, rather than just posting for the sake of it. My excuse for not posting is we are travelling again – aboard our boat in France!...

A Nut Roast is one of the go-to vegetarian main course dishes. For our recent pop-up vegan dining event (Check out our Green and Vegan FB page), we decided to do a vegan version. Over there years we have made several nut roasts but have never found a really great...
Chocolate and Coconut Log
There is something about chocolate! Chocolate desserts are always a hit, and this Chocolate and Coconut Log was absolutely scrumptious! We served it up with fresh raspberries at our last vegan pop-up dining event. (Check out our Green and Vegan FB page) The...
Vegan Sushi

Chocolate mousse – vegan version
You can’t say vegan chocolate mousse anymore without mentioning aquafaba, the new vegan egg-white replacement. Well I suppose it is not that new – been around a while, but I have only recently started working with it. Just in case you have’nt heard...
