Asparagus and pea stir fry with parsnip mash and veggie burgers This is one of our combined effort cooking sessions using standard British ingredients such as peas, baked beans, asparagus, parsnips and cheddar cheese.

Aubergine lasagne with red onion and brie salad Patrick follows a recipe to the letter. He turns out perfect meals when he cooks. I am a super greenie and cannot bear to waste food. I open the fridge, see what has to be used up, then figure out what to make from there. Patrick has …
I’m still sharing our recipes and meals on Patrick’s blog. Patrick started this blog when he met me because he got so tired of being asked what vegetarians eat. And since we try to eat low carb vegetarian food, he decided to start a blog to share our meals. Vegetarian food gets a bad rap mainly …
