Pet Peeve: Product labels stating Vegetarian that aren?t
2008-06-05 04:38:00 Yes, the results are in for this fortnight’s poll, but I think I’d like more attention set on this week’s poll.

Recipe: Chickpea Cutlet

Recipe: Pasta alla Milanese
2008-05-14 01:11:00 I’ve been getting bored of my usual vegetarian pasta dishes and so I had a little bit of a look around for some ideas, when I thought of making a Milanese-style pasta instead of risotto.

2008-05-08 23:47:00 Who can’t resist waking up to crusty bread, spread with butter and fresh marmalade?
