There are countless ways to make veggie burgers, and every vegetarian / vegan knows that. I just take a look in the cupboards to see what there is available and start from there. This time it was lentils and soya, next time it might be mushrooms or chickpeas. You’ll need: 100 [...]

Only the pure at heart can make a good soup. Ludwig van Beethoven People are at variance on the point of red food. Some say red food is not real food. I talked about it to my friend Steve and he said real food cannot be red. Not even tomatoes, “the devil’s food”. But this [...]

Penny is my sister and this is her cheese pie. She makes her own pastry. Truly, it takes less time that waiting for the ready made to defrost. The fact that my sister is on diet all the time, won’t stop her from making cheese sauce and adding it to the pie which she [...]

Garlicky aubergine salad

?ubergine salad is very common in Greece and there are numerous versions of it. This doesn’t mean there is no room for one more version: mine. Blame it for losing your friends if you want, but you can’t blame it for being tasteless. I think it’s a great sandwich spread too, especially combined with mozzarella. [...]

“After all the trouble you go to, you get about as much actual food out of eating an artichoke as you would from licking 30 or 40 postage stamps.” Miss Piggy Artichokes are rich in magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, iron, calcium and have antioxidant properties. All these wouldn’t be of interest though, if they weren’t yummy. If we [...]

“Whatever I found in the fridge” salad

28. February 2006

In essence, this salad is made with whatever vegetables you may find in the fridge. The only thing to follow is to prepare a green base of -let’s say- spinach or rocket and add other vegetables that may be in season. I could add beets or even baked aubergine. What we cannot add is cabbage, [...]

These are really yummy and very easy to make. If you want to tease kids into eating soya try them, preferably with some rice or if you are really bold, some chips on the side. There are three secrets you have to know: -Don’t over boil them because then, they won’t be able to absorb all the [...]
