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: Dahi ke Baigan (eggplant in mild yoghurt sauce)
Part of the fun of Meatless Monday is the quest to find a new recipe that is interesting enough to cook and photographic enough to share. 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)
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 – 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
Meatless Monday – Lemon and Honey ANZAC Tart
To those who voted in the council elections over the weekend, the results are slowly being tallied here. The advantage of living in Lilyfield is wandering down to the fantastic Orange Grove Market to pick up some ingredients before sauntering in to drop my vote. Today’s Meatless Monday is a dessert…K wanted something lemony, so… Continue reading Meatless Monday – Lemon and Honey ANZAC Tart
Meatless Monday – Vegetable Lasagna and the uphill better to blog more
Incredibly, it had been a full 6 months since my last post. During that period of hibernation from the blog sphere many things happened, but for the most part I was in survival mode through a long cold winter (both literally and metaphorically). With summer just around the corner and glimpses of warmth peeking through,… Continue reading Meatless Monday – Vegetable Lasagna and the uphill better to blog more
