Basil Pesto
One of my favourite things in this world is pasta. And it is a good thing too because apparently a lot of restaurants think that if your vegetarian you must love pasta as that is usually the default vegetarian dish on the menu. I am not whining too much about it, I would just like another choice or two sometimes. But I…
Potato Bake
Reader warning: This recipe is in no way healthy for you (well, most of the recipes on this site aren't healthy, but this one especially). It is full of potato, cream, breadcrumbs and cheese but my goodness is it tasty. I do not make this very often, and only when we have people over to share it around, but it is one of my little…
Roast Pumpkin Soup
Winter for me means soup and one soup I make every winter, and occasionally at other times during the year, is Roast Pumpkin Soup. Pumpkin has to be one of my favourite vegetables, with butternut pumpkin by far my favourite variety. I could eat roasted butternut pumpkin until the end of time but I would probably start to look like one after a…
Seed Mixture (ALPS Blend)
Way back in 2012, there was a health and wellbeing initiative called the 1 Million Kilo Challenge where Australians were encouraged to sign up and receive meal and exercise plans to collectively shed, you guessed it, one million kilograms. I signed up to a team with some friends and family with one recipe sticking with me for the years since.…
Spiral Vegetable Tart
About a year ago I pinned one of the most awesome looking vegetable tarts I have ever seen to my Pinterest board Vegetarian and Vegan Delights . Rather than the veggies being laid flat in the tart base, the slices were arranged in a spiral perpendicular to the base and the result looked amazing. My version was not quite as amazing looking…
Vegetarian Lasagne
When my husband and I started dating, most Friday nights he would come and stay and we would head to the local pub for dinner. Being a small country town, there is generally only ever one vegetarian option on the menu (if you're lucky) and at this particular establishment it was vegetarian lasagne. It was tasty, but then we decided we should…
Vegetarian Samosas
On the way home from our honeymoon last year the husband and I spent a few days in Melbourne and one night we had dinner with his Aunt and Uncle. We got talking about cooking and Aunt T shared some cookbooks that she had gathered on her travels. One of these books was The Moosewood Cookbook which is an American vegetarian cookbook by Mollie…
Zucchini Slice
Although I have eaten Zucchini Slice many times, I have never actually made it which may be surprising given my vegetarianism. When a friend asked me to make it for a work lunch she was attending I didn't have a recipe at hand so I scoured the interweb for inspiration. This was also the perfect opportunity to use a large rectangular…
