I am in a ‘bake’ super zone presently – every cell of my body tells me to create bakes, to fuse, to go with my creative instinct – which I have to say is working overtime – and I can barely keep up with it. Now, I have created a most wondrous bake – after tasting it, I was lost for words !  I merged the flavours of the Middle east with a touch of [...]

This ‘meat’ loaf is gorgeous, mainly because it’s a quick recipe to prepare, and also because it yields a delicious flavour & texture.  It can be made any day of the week, and served with your favourite potatoes, mashes – roasted or fried – with steamed vegetables of your choice, or even your favourite salad.  It’s an impressive piece of work that just won’t disappoint !  This also slices wonderfully the following day – cut [...]

A rich yet light pancake.  I have made many versions, but this is by far the best – it’s got a crunch about it, it’s got a beautiful golden colour to it, it’s light in texture, yet rich in flavour, it’s better than egg pancakes I used to make and I am so excited to introduce you to the best vegan pancakes around (I have included a gluten free recipe here too – by substituting [...]

This is a recipe (originally created for Xmas & Festive times) designed and created for the more ‘purist’ type of vegan palette  - those that don’t like fake meat, for whatever reason.  Delicious, moist, with a wonderful texture, aroma and flavour packed into one impressive dish, it makes the perfect Sunday Roast (and much loved by non-vegans too, see comments below) – here it is, with a hint of spice (omit if you wish).  Enjoy the [...]

The season of goodwill to all men (or should I reword that to say “all sentient beings that includes some people . . .”) is around the corner, and we haven’t been sleeping in the MWV kitchen.  Far from it – we’ve been working like beavers round the clock to produce a magnificent menu in readiness for the menu-planning panic that everyone suffers around this time ! So, here’s a sumptuous feast – a HUGE [...]

I have created this wonderful assembly of veggies and exotic trimmings to accompany my “Huge Christmas Sausage Roast” (http://mouthwateringvegan.com/2012/12/06/huge-christmas-sausage-roast).  I paid special attention to getting the perfect balance of taste, texture, aroma and colour in this festive platter. It combines tradition with an extra fruity dimension, which contrasts beautifully with the sausage roast, and will leave you and your guests with that warm, familiar feeling of satisfaction and fulfillment that only a real festive dinner [...]

These roast potatoes are probably the most delicious potatoes on the planet – okay, may be they’re not, but they come pretty close.  Truly, the buttery, smooth texture of the potatoes smothered in the cheese sauce makes for a very satisfying dish to serve with any stew, alongside a crunchy salad with divine cider vinegar dressing (my aunt, a Greek Cypriot whose food was enormously delicious, always used to make a simple green salad with [...]

I am proud, well proud of this stew.  It melts in your mouth, but not without cheering your taste buds first.  This stew is in part inspired by the many different stews I have made over the years – the result is astounding in terms of taste and texture.  As for the aroma, well that’s in a league of its own.  The combination of vegetables chosen are all-time favourites for many people worldwide (feel free [...]

We loved this – If you are having non-vegan guests for Christmas or any other special occasion, and are keen to impress them, and ensure they have that wonderful satisfied, full feeling after their dinner, then this is the perfect roast to present.  When I created this roast I wanted to make something akin to a ‘traditional thinking’ type of roast, but 100% vegan and  without compromising the taste – so I wore my wizard [...]

Here is a recipe for a magnificent Christmas pudding, that will warm the heart, and get you fully into the Yuletide spirit – one of giving and sharing.  At least that is what it symbolizes to me – centering oneself on the barometer of good spirit, and the renewal of hope, compassion and benevolence towards all living things.  And Christmas time for us is all about that. This pudding is legendary because of all the [...]
