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)
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 – 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 – Shitake mushroom, water chestnut and ginger dumpling
A friend held a dumpling night a while back, everyone brings a filling and we make the dumplings on a long table ready for steaming. I never made dumpling before, but it was the perfect time to figure out how to this dumpling thing. I googled this dumpling recipe, and made a bit of modification… Continue reading Meatless Monday – Shitake mushroom, water chestnut and ginger dumpling

I found the recipe from one… Continue reading Meatless Monday: Spinach, red onion and feta tart
Meatless Monday – Okonomiyaki
I’ve been meaning to post on Mondays about Meatless Monday for a while, but so far a number of Mondays managed to slip by without a post. The Meatless Monday campaign was and still is a non for profit initiative of The Monday Campaigns, in association with the Johns Hopkins’ Bloomberg School of Public Health. The… Continue reading Meatless Monday – Okonomiyaki
