The traditional steak sandwich is a fairly simple affair – a slab of good quality grilled or fried beefsteak served on bread or in a roll with a choice of toppings.  Fried onions are a must in my book – in fact, I have caramelized mine, and also added a simple but tasty mushroom topping.  You can accompany this with a simple salad garnishing – and you have yourself a great VEGAN MANFOOD pick-me-up ! [...]

Makes 4 large burgers (or 6 small ones) I cannot express to what extent these burgers where filled with contrasting flavours and divine texture.  As for the ‘tailor-made’ salsa, well that’s in a league of it’s own – once you try it, you’ll never stop making it for all sorts of savoury delights, especially bbq treats.  So get ready, steady and let’s go make these.  Serve with a crunchy green salad. INGREDIENTS mineral water ¾ [...]

Just felt like some ‘smoked’ flavoured grub.  Bacon has been off the menu for a long time now – but flavours remain deep-seated in the mind, and have unconscious dialogue with the taste buds.  This is an undetected method whereby memories filter through the conscious mind to the palette, and try to have their way.  They never do in the literal sense – but creative thinking is very much part of my genetic code – [...]

I have been making veggie burgers for years – even before I became vegetarian – I love them.  These great ones are very tasty indeed, and work very well served on slices of fried eggplant and a raw salad of your own choice.  I served it as described, except I decided to make some mushroom porcini rice and garnished with grated vegan cheddar cheese.  You will not regret making these, and oh, by the way, [...]

This was tonight’s dinner. I was a little worried about what I was going to make, but I wanted to serve something mouthwatering, but not have to spend too long over the stove. I didn’t want any compromising – I wanted lots of insane colours for inspiration, and to act as an appetizing kind of aphrodisiac – a feast on a plate, again without hours of preparation.  So this is what I came up with [...]

Full of flavour and extra delicious, these golden pieces are a bomb of a treat and kids love them too.  I have been making these for the last few years, and have been meaning to pass them on for you to share and enjoy.  This recipe came to me one day when I had way too much corn in my pantry, and too many sundried tomatoes in the fridge.  The other ingredients came along like [...]

Well, I simply adore flageolet beans – I use them frequently, and I purchase the tinned ones for convenience.  This time I thought, “I shall burger you for tonight”, and that’s what I did.  Not only that, but I also felt like making something a little different with them.   So I added some desiccated coconut, herbs and spices and, just to give it that extra twist, some zest.  The result . . . find out [...]

I really felt like a potato curry today, but alas, time was closing in.  Problem is when I get a taste bud compulsion, then a satisfying result must be at hand – and fast.  “OK”, I thought, “maybe not a curry- curry, but why not make potato curry burgers?”.  These friendly lookers tasted so very delicious, and if you like potato curry, you are going to love these.  But in a fraction of the time, [...]
