Lime Soy Tempeh Strips for Two
Photo by Dale May, neckpiece by Mother of London; via Mother of London @ Tumblr Snack time! This one is so, so easy. Also: 100% boyfriend approved. Tempeh (pronounced TEM-pay, FYI) is another one of those things that I had never heard of until I started diving into the world of vegan deliciousness. For…
Easy 3-Herb Pesto
Art via The Art of Animation If your herb garden is in need of raiding, making pesto is one of the best ways to go about it. Traditionally, pesto includes a hard cheese such as parmesan; leaving it out really lets the vibrancy if the herbs and creaminess of the pinenuts shine through. The…
Asparagus, Snow Pea & Green Bean Three-Way
Image via Cute Boys With Cats (I love you, internet) This is a quick and easy way to get more soul-firing greens into your life. A trio of green goodness, made moreish with a simple combination of garlic, lemon and soy sauce, with the subtle flavour of peanut oil bringing it all together. Peanut…
Smashed Garlicky Cannellini Beans

Image via Ffffound | I offer this belly-rubbing recipe in lieu of the promised post about eating vegan in provincial New Zealand, which was abandoned when I realised that eating vegan well in the provinces involves exactly the same thing as eating vegan well in any NZ city: prepare to do it yourself and…
Rock Your Face Off Ginger-Lime Tofu
Image via Hex Boyfriend@ Tumblr My food notebook records this as “tofu marinade #4”; the three others were inferior proto-types of the glory that is this insanely flavourful ginger-lime version. Fourth time’s a charm! This is no subtle tofu. It packs a big punch: tangy, spicy and super fresh. You will be going back…
Shish Kebabs feat. Tangelo Baked Tofu (+ Roasted Capsicum & Pineapple Salsa)
By Shiu Injr @ Tumblr Instead of partying this Halloween, I drank appletinis and ate homemade snacks with a few of my favourite people; it was so much fun. These recipes are a feast of sweet and savoury goodness. They definitely weren’t in the Halloween spirit, but they do taste incredible! The kebabs are…
Badass Chickpeas & Carrots with Roasted Asparagus
Via Ffffound This is my latest fast and tasty legume creation, complemented by juicy roasted asparagus. To round out an awesome meal, add a handful of green leaves dolloped with tangy homemade tofu mayo. Chickpeas are one of the most versatile foods around, and undeniably one of the healthiest, being packed with protein, iron,…
Quinoa-Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms
Via Ffffound Mmm, shrooms. The following is a modified version of this sweet ass recipe from Gluten Free Goddess. I cook the quinoa in vegetable stock to amp up the flavour and switch up a couple of ingredients (because even though garlic and onions are great, you don’t have to put ’em in everything)….
