So apparently I’m getting my recipes from tiktok now. But I had an urgent need for some sort of Indonesian (yes, I know, it’s a big and diverse country) green vegetables to go with some Ayam Goreng, and this came up in a search and it was so good I feel obliged to add it… Continue reading Jukut Bejeg – Balinese snake beans

Ginger pocket cookies
Wanted something suitable to pocket for a ski day yesterday, so made these https://www.theseasonedmom.com/gingerbread-cookies/. And they were perfect, a good sized snack that pocketed and ate well without crumbling, and super tasty. I made a couple of adjustments – partly to fit with what I had available, also needing to avoid dairy. Cream ~2 sticks… Continue reading Ginger pocket cookies
Donna’s chocolate cake
Thanks to Donna, Darcy & Scarlet for this super easy allergy-friendly chocolate cake recipe! Egg and dairy-free (aka something you can probably always easily make from what’s in the pantry). 185 g plain flour 3 tblsp cocoa ¾ cup sugar 1 tsp baking soda ½ tsp salt 15ml white vinegar 90 ml vegetable oil 250ml… Continue reading Donna’s chocolate cake
Oat fruit brekky-bar
Super easy, surprisingly good brekky-bar type slice, containing a fruit layer between oat-based layers – and it’s vegan, so perfect when you forgot to buy eggs. And yeah, no added sugar is necessary (it’s got plenty from the fruit). Oat stuff: ca. 3 cups of oats or mostly oat-based museli, can add some ground nuts… Continue reading Oat fruit brekky-bar
Vegan custard
What is a Christmas pudding without custard or cream? I guess a vegan one… and having a vegan event coming up I’ve been looking into vegan options. And they just seem like thickened non-dairy milk. So with what I have in the cupboard, and a few attempts: 500ml water 1/2c rolled oats pinch salt 1tbs… Continue reading Vegan custard
Atole / Champurrado, i.e. very satisfying Mexican hot chocolate
My life is now complete … or at least it can momentarily feel that way with a cup of this. I somehow found myself with a glut of maseca, and not enough desire for making that many tortillas… so I started to research how else I can use this stuff, and found myself at seriouseats… Continue reading Atole / Champurrado, i.e. very satisfying Mexican hot chocolate
Veggie pie
A vegan pie that is super easy, pretty tasty and filling. Weeknight staple. I make it in a springform cake tin because that’s what I have, but a deep pie tin with a removable base would be good too. Remember to leave enough time for the crust dough to rest (30 mins), and blind-bake (15… Continue reading Veggie pie
Turkish feast
Well, kinda Turkish style anyway. Relatively quick, nice to present, and can suit a crowd that includes vegetarian and lactose-free (sub out the meatballs and yoghurt dip as required). Serves ~ 6, main prep takes about 2 hours (+ dough resting time of 8 hours) and, alongside timing suggestions includes: Turkish pide x2 – prep… Continue reading Turkish feast
Baked samosas
Despite being baked, not fried, these are surprisingly good – and can easily be made vegan (which is what I’ve got here). Or just go ahead and make the pastry with butter, and stuff it with whatever you like. Scroll down for accompanying tamarind-tomato sauce and coconut-mint chutney. This recipe adapted from https://www.vegrecipesofindia.com/baked-samosa-recipe/ Makes ~… Continue reading Baked samosas
