It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a city with an active Four Square community will likely be be an absolute godsend for spotting vegetarian restaurants. This is in fact true for Berlin, city of bratwurst, hipsters and surprisingly plentiful vegetarian options.

Meatless Monday – Bircher Muesli
I’ve been a bit sick in the last couple of weeks, so cooking and blogging a Meatless Monday recipe that doesn’t look like soupy sludge was a bit of a challenge. With a couple of friends coming for brunch I hunt around for breakfast dishes and came across Taste’s Bircher Muesli recipe. Considering the number… Continue reading Meatless Monday – Bircher Muesli
Meatless Monday – Irish Stew
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

This recipe was taken from Pushpesh-Pant’s India Cookbook, a large tome of over 1,000 Indian recipes. My criteria was pretty simple, an eggplant recipe that matched the ingredients I have… Continue reading Meatless Monday: Dahi ke Baigan (eggplant in mild yoghurt sauce)
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

‘Twas the day before Christmas Eve, and all through the house harsh words can be heard as a lone baker struggled with the impossible task of keeping cool during a searing 36 degrees Sydney summer day. The baker realised, that much to her dismay that there was a reason why ginger bread dough needed to… Continue reading Life lessons from baking a gingerbread tardis
