I’m starting to appreciate the saying “done is better than perfect”, especially when it comes to forming habits. Sometimes making sure I’m on track is more important than creating the perfect blog entry. Sometimes the end goal is the journey, the longer I stay on the path the more likely I am to reach the… Continue reading Meatless Monday – Irish Stew

Meatless Monday – Classic Macaroni and Cheese
Sometimes it’s all about how the cookie crumbles, or in this case how the bread crumb crunches. In the spirit of crunchy zen coupled with the autumn breeze sweeping through Sydney’s evening sky I hunted for this old fashioned Macaroni and Cheese recipe.
Meatless Monday – Gnocchi with burnt sage butter
I never quite understand the fuss about gnocchi. My first experience had been a starchy, floury thing that made me full after eating a half dozen or so. There had been a number of times when I stared resentfully at a plateful of gnocchi after a few bites and wonder how anyone can finish this… Continue reading Meatless Monday – Gnocchi with burnt sage butter
Meatless Monday – Okra Belachan
I decided to blog about this particular recipe in the mistaken belief that this was a childhood dish. Turned out that Okra is not an ingredient I grew up with in Indonesia, and this was further confirmed when Mum gave me a puzzled look when I asked how often we ate okra when I was… Continue reading Meatless Monday – Okra Belachan
Meatless Monday: Leon’s Superfood Salad
Post Australia Day weekend I was nostalgic over Leon‘s salad and not the quintessential Australian meatpie. Leon is a chain of great food in London, and one of the places that the London Stitch and Bitch used to frequent. I used to order their Superfood Salad multiple times and their recipe book is one that I tend… Continue reading Meatless Monday: Leon’s Superfood Salad
Meatless Monday: Ottolenghi’s Kosheri
Starting Meatless Monday with this recipe from Ottolenghi’s cookbook, Ottolenghi: The Cookbook. This is a completely unfamiliar dish for me, so cooking this felt a bit like reading a choose your own adventure book. So what is Kosheri? According to Wikipedia it’s: Kushari, also koshary, kosheri or koshari (Egyptian Arabic: كشرى, [ˈkoʃæɾi]), is an Egyptian dish of rice, macaroni and lentils mixed together, topped with a tomato sauce, some… Continue reading Meatless Monday: Ottolenghi’s Kosheri
Vegetarian laksa – Meatless Monday
Five months later and I finally managed to get my life back after disappearing into a black hole. Uni and work took most of my time and energy, and though I continue taking photos, having time to upload them is a whole different issue. In any case, without further ado here is my recipe for… Continue reading Vegetarian laksa – Meatless Monday
#Meatless Monday – warm lentil and beetroot salad straight
The end of the wettest Australia Day weekend on record (not official), also marked the quiet deflation of the giant duck in Darling Park. Got to say, I rather missed seeing its gigantic inflatable yellow butt as I walk down Pyrmont Bridge. Today being Monday, I finally have the time to whip up a Meatless… Continue reading #Meatless Monday – warm lentil and beetroot salad straight
Meatless Monday – Pear & Raspberry Bread and I wish you hadn’t asked
It is wet. I am standing inside a room dripping with water from its roof. Inside this little cottage, the smell of wet woollen rug and the metallic sound of water hitting metallic surface was overwhelmed by the sense of quiet that blanketed the room. I am in a dream, someone else’s or mine or… Continue reading Meatless Monday – Pear & Raspberry Bread and I wish you hadn’t asked
Meatless Monday – Baked Gruyere Cheese Souffles
There are times when everything is just right and a recipe turned out perfectly, sometimes a little too perfectly. Six souffles went in and six came out so light and fluffy I barely had time to grab my camera before they deflate. This recipe was taken from Serge Dansereau’s French Kitchen – Classic recipes for… Continue reading Meatless Monday – Baked Gruyere Cheese Souffles
