Tofu pad thai for meat free week days…
Sinking into the depths of a meatless existence. My old life seems further and further away. Sometimes I dream about a summer’s day. Everyone is in the backyard, I can hear the laughter of friends and family, the barbeque is smoking away and we jokingly do “I hate rabbits”* as the smoke blows in our…

No Meat Monday… eggplant and silverbeet curry
No meat Monday… eggplant and silverbeet curry So it has finally happened. A full winter of eating as much rich, hearty food as I could possibly lay my hands on has taken its toll. That last pork belly I consumed in a style not totally dissimilar to that of Obelix in the stories of the…

Shakshouka… or chakhchoukha… or shakshulka
Shakshouka was first created somewhere in North Africa a long time ago. It traditionally consists of eggs poached in a spicy sauce of tomato, onion and chilli, and whatever other spices they would have at hand. Cumin would’ve been in there for sure.

Appreciation of food… and a damn fine falafel

Whether you have a stinky little carnie sitting at the next table. And of course the check… All of it. The culmination of these factors is called “dining”. And…
