I have to say I much prefer being in the kitchen making wonderful vegan food than writing about it! But I do like to share the recipes. This dessert has gone down so well at a couple of our pop-up dinners (check out our FB page here), and if you happen to be in Cape …
We have made several nut roasts before, but I have never been entirely happy with them. We have also done some vegan cooking courses, the most recent being the Demuth’s 2 week diploma course in Bath. While there we had an excellent meal at Acorn, which was originally Rachel Demuth’s but is now run by …
A veloute is a smooth creamy soup. The name comes from the word velvet. And let’s face it, on a menu ‘veloute’ sounds so much more elegant than ‘soup’ One can make a veloute with other vegetables – cauliflower, fennel, asparagus, peas, broad beans etc. On the Demuth’s course we made a celeriac version and …
Green Pea Pate Pates are so easy to make. And they are all generally variations of the same theme. On the Demuth’s course we made a broad bean pate or dip. Here on the boat we did not have broad beans but we did have green peas. Nor here in France could we not get …

Broccoli Cheez meal aboard I can’t decide which is easier – going vegan, or going raw. We manage a bit of both while on the boat. Here is a quick and delicious light meal we had one evening: Soy schnitzels, broccoli cheez and green peas. Not entirely raw but 100% vegan. The soy products were …
Getting ready to cook Cajun Spiced Tofu Steaks One thing we have not found often in the Netherlands is tofu. Not surprising I suppose, seeing the number of cattle farms around! But amazingly we found plain tofu in a supermarket in Sneek in Friesland. Of course we bought some. We made Cajun Spiced Tofu steaks. …
Karen’s raw veg salad When eating out, vegetarians or vegans are very often offered a boring old salad as their only option. But salads don’t have to be boring, They can be fun, colourful, tasty and healthy as well. Karen loves making salads and comes up with the most amazing ones. Here are 2 salads …
Healthy green smoothie for breakfast Eating raw, vegan and healthy aboard is a challenge in a number of ways, but the one thing that actually makes it easier is we do not have an oven. We have an electric hob, but to operate that we need to run a generator. So we gravitate to raw …
