Grill vegetarian: Doesn't always mean meat
2009-07-24 22:34:00 By Chelsea Schneider For RedEyeBeef. It's not what's for dinner. July might call to mind those hazy Saturdays spent at meat-filled backyard barbecues, but Chicago has more to offer than its beefy reputation would have you believe. Take the Taste of Chicago, one of the meat-friendliest fests of the summer: This year, the Grant Park crowd-a-thon offered more for veg-heads than just the old corn-on-the-cob standby--from pad Thai noodles to those sweet plantain wedges called Maduros. Next month, the meat-free can descend on Naperville for Veggie Fest, which features 100 food vendors, events and exhibitions. But you don't have to leave home to get the best veggies have to offer. Consider meat-free grilling, which can be healthier for you anyway.Elizabeth Myers/RedEye ...

The Amazing Phuket Vegetarian Festival
2009-06-14 09:23:00 Over the last 3 years on this blog I have written plenty about the Phuket Vegetarian Festival. There are multiple posts detailing different aspects of the festival from 2006, 2007 and 2008. The Vegetarian Festival is probably my favourite event in Phuket. The face-piercing processions, the food, the mystical rituals at the shrines... this is a special time of year. The festival has been a part of Phuket's culture since 1825. It's no show, it's not made up for the tourists and not for the faint hearted. This is the real Phuket!This blog post is mainly intended to tie up all the vegetarian festival related posts from the last few years. I never saw a procession until 2006 and didn't have a great camera then. There are better pictures from 2007 and 2008. Last year especially I posted many photos and also some videos, as well as posts about some of the Chinese shrines and the food. I am very much looking forward to the Phuket vegetarian festival 2009 - the dates this year are 18th -...

Vegetarian Mommy Blues
2009-06-13 22:58:00 Nothing strikes more fear in the heart of a vegetarian mother than her child saying, “Mom, I ate a hot dog today.” Oldest laid that one on me the other day and I still haven’t recovered. Their Tae Kwon Do camp had an outdoor barbecue. I explained to the counselors that my children don’t dig on animal flesh and they promised to provide cruelty-free fare. Oldest saw what he believed to be a vegetarian hot dog and, true to form, inhaled it. Youngest, also true to form, actually read the label and before he could get out the words, “Beef. This has beef in it,” Oldest burped. The counselor said, “Kosher doesn’t mean vegetarian?” I almost had a stroke. Who doesn’t know the difference between Kosher and meat-free? “Where the hell are we?” I asked. “Lutz?” Oh right. We are in Lutz. Oldest spent most of the night on the potty. Truth be told, I was disappointed he didn’t get sicker. I wanted a touching ...
Wheat and coconut cream pudding
2009-06-07 13:57:00 A couple of days back my good friend Kavita left UK and went back to India for good. Before leaving she gave me a bagful of groceries that she had left over and obviously couldn't finish before she left. This is a normal practice amongst us friends . Whenever one of us is leaving for good we kind of have a grocery distribution programme between us . The person who is leaving accumulates all the store cupboard groceries that she cannot use up and asks us to take what ever we fancy . So everyone kind of gets to explore her groceries which is fun . Although of course it is no fun to have one of your group leave forever. It leaves a kind of empty void that is very difficult to get used to.So this time along with other things I got something that I had never used before. She had a container full of hand-threshed whole wheat from her family farm back home in India. So it was of the best quality ever. K said her mom-in-law and sisters in law make a kheer out of it although she had never t...

S.P.D.P
2009-06-03 10:50:00 Have you heard of the abbreviation S.P.D.P before? Well if you are from Pune or have lived in Pune for a while you are sure to know what I am talking about. It's the most popular dish in the most popular cafe in Pune. The dish is Sev Potato Dahi Puri , a tantalising combo of crisp puris filled with boiled potato, beaten yogurt, sweet and sour tamarind chutney, hot chilly and mint sauce, finely chopped onions and tomatoes all topped with more yogurt and crispy sev. In short it is heavenly.The cafe is of course Vaishali on Ferguson College Road . For those of you who don't know Pune so well Vaishali is the most popular hangout for people of all ages in Pune. Mostly frequented by college going teenagers, it is also a favourite with ladies who come there in groups maybe for theie kitty parties or just to catch up on the latest with their friends , with people who come there for steaming hot idlis and delicious coffee after a session of tennis or badminton in the morning , and of cours...

Five Star Dal Fry
2009-05-13 11:31:00 See guys I have kept my word and am posting every few days now. In fact I keep rushing to take pics every time I have a dish ready to serve. I just hope I can keep it up. So this is a dal that I have for you today . I make this quite frequently for dinner as it is a good change from the regular Amti (a maharashtrian dal preparation) that we make practically everyday . I call it 5 star dal fry not because I first ate it at any 5 star restaurant or something but because it is a combination of 5 different dals, which makes it a powerhouse of protein. The special touch comes from cooking it in pure ghee rather than everyday sunflower oil. The ghee even when used in small quantities imparts a delicious taste and aroma to the dal which has everyone helping themselves to seconds and thirds. I very often cook this dal when I am out of fresh veggies . As there are 5 lentils in here it more than provides all the nutrition to make a balanced meal and as it is thick in consistency it is also ve...

Yummilicious Paratha Frankies
2009-04-28 15:43:00 Hi everybody! I am back after my long break again. These long breaks are becoming an annoying habit you might say , but it is one that I definitely intend to break very soon. Anyway, how have you guys been? I have missed you all too. What I have for you today is something I thought of today morning at 5.00 o'clock when I was disturbed out of my sleep and just could not go back to sleep again. And our mind you know has this annoying habit of immediately kicking into action with all kinds of thoughts rushing in which makes it even more difficult to sleep. So my mind turned to the most nagging of thoughts and that was what to pack in the lunch boxes. Fortunately there was paratha dough already ready in the fridge, but as that was what we had had for dinner there was no way I could repeat the same in the lunch boxes . Well not as an ordinary paratha anyway. But then I remembered the block of paneer in the fridge and the mixed frozen veggies in the freezer and I had my lunch boxes all p...

Soup of the week: Spiced citrus bean soup
2009-03-03 10:44:00 This is my 6th post for Debbie's Souper SundayWhen I asked my sons to make up the menu plan for weekdays, I expected not to deal with it any more. Far wrong, the weekly soup is still my business. This week I served the Spiced citrus bean soup The young gentlemen agreed to my choice. Instead of using a can of mixed beans I soaked 250 grams of an Italian pulse mixture (red, white and green beans, lentils, chickpeas, green and yellow split peas, broad beans) over night in water and cooked it 6 h on low in a 3,5 l slow cooker. And of course I used a coriander-parsley mixture to scatter over the soup. -=========REZKONV-Recipe - RezkonvSuite v1.4Title: Spiced citrus bean soupCategories: Soup, VegetarianYield: 4 Servings Ingredients 2tablesp.

Gemüse-Jalfrezi
2009-02-08 22:25:00 Um möglichen Nörgeleien aus dem Weg zu gehen, lasse ich die jungen Herren die Rezepte - wie hier - selbst auswählen. Diesmal habe ich ihnen die Februar-Ausgabe des Good Food Magazin für die Rezeptauswahl überlassen. Zu meiner Überraschung entschieden sich für das vegetable jalfrezi von Jamie Oliver, meine jungen Herren stehen nämlich nicht sonderlich auf Brokkoli und Blumenkohl. Es kam wie es kommen musste: Die Herren entdeckten zu ihrer Überraschung, dass das Jalfrezi Blumenkohl enthielt. Dafür kennen sie jetzt die Bedeutung von cauliflower und werden diese Vokabel nicht vergessen. Bei einem Jalfrezi handelt es sich übrigens um ein indisches Curry-Gericht, bei dem mariniertes Gemüse oder Fleisch in Öl und Gewürzen gebraten wird, um eine trockene dicke Sauce zu erhalten. Jalfrezis stammen aus der Zeit, als übrig gebliebene Fleischreste mit Chilies versetzt wurden, um einen schlechten Geschmack zu überlagern. Wegen des Blumenkohls erhielt das Gemüse-Jalfrezi nur die Note "kan...

Fritatta
2009-01-16 14:22:00 Fritatta is something I have always been fascinated with but never cooked. For that matter until a few days back I had not even tasted a fritatta. But somehow it just always managed to catch my attention from pictures in food magazines and food blogs and of course food shows on TV. On one of my shopping trips I even bought a oven proof pan particularly with the intention of making a fritatta. I just loved the idea of eating a big fat omellete filled with all kinds of delicious veggies, cheeses and mushrooms.Well last week I was at the surgery (that's what a doctor's dispensary is called in UK) to see my GP . ( Reason for which was I had a nasty fall 2 weeks back and have been making quite a few trips to the doctor's for treatment on my leg which I hurt very badly.) So while I was sitting in the waiting area for my name to appear on the electronic display I was browsing through a magazine and once again my attention was drawn to a very yummy pic of fritatta.

Well we do it a little bit just for my son who still believes in Santa and reindeer and all the Christmassy bits that are so important and delightful to a child .

2008-10-09 15:31:00 So, on Monday after getting up early and seeing the piercing at Kathu Shrine, and heading out of Kathu Village with the procession (see Vegetarian Festival Photos Part 1), I headed into Phuket Town to pick up the procession again in the old town. The narrow streets mean you get very close to the Ma Song, and very close to the firecrackers! I was taking photos on Thalang Road close to my favourite little street in town, Soi Rommani. Allow me to introduce my favourite guy! I had a photo of him last year looking rather ghoulish with 2 big black rods through his cheeks. This year looks like he used even bigger rods! Some aspects of the festival are not for everyone. If you don't like scary things or blood or the idea of ramming 2 large rods through your face, look away now!This next guy is one of the entranced Ma Song who leap around the procession offering blessings to locals who have offering tables outside their houses. Some of these guys really are a bit spooky. The narrow str...

Phuket Vegetarian Festival 2008 Pictures
2008-10-06 15:51:00 Well this year I wanted to see something different during the festival. I admit to being a lazy boy sometimes, but today I was awake before dawn and headed to Kathu Shrine before 6am to watch the start of the procession to Phuket Town, and hopefully see some face piercing close up. Actually, the word "piercing" does not describe what happens. Something like "skewering" or "mutilation" might be better! I am not squeamish, but... hint, if you are squeamish, I suggest heading to a different page on this blog!It was hard to see inside the shrine, but the "Ma Song" were coming out in various stages of trance, and faces were duly threaded with knives, swords, guns, all manner of odd shaped metal pieces. You'd need 20 pairs of eyes to see all that was going on there. I was with a friend, Phil, who is director of the Helicam company in Phuket, so he's a "pro" photographer, but this was new to him too!

The Vegetarian Festival: An evening walk in Kathu village
2008-10-02 17:17:00 Kathu village is one of those quiet backwaters of Phuket that barely seems touched by tourism and development. Yes, there are some new houses and appartments around, yes you can see Mercedes and new pick up trucks outside some of the houses, but this is old Phuket. The Kathu area was the center of the tin mining industry which started in the 18th century. Many of the miners were Chinese, and they settled in this part of Phuket. And it was in Kathu that the vegetarian festival started many many years ago.At this time of year, walking in the village in the area around the Chinese shrine, you can get a real time warp feeling. The firecrackers, the white clothes, the old shophouses, the shrine... I do recommend a visit. I took a walk around this evening with my wife to buy some vegetarian food and take some photos too! Tomorrow will be interesting as there will be "bladed ladder climbing" and bathing in hot oil at the shrine. See you there! Tonight I did not see any other foreigners. Ha...

Vegetarian Festival - The Food
2008-09-30 15:12:00 The Phuket Vegetarian Festival is not just about skewered cheeks, Chinese gods and firecrackers, although that's the fun part (and the first of the street processions is tomorrow morning). The food is also very important. Local people (not all, I might add) follow a strict diet which is vegan rather than just vegetarian - no meat, no eggs, no dairy, and for some reason (if someone can tell me, please do!) no garlic or onions. The diet is to cleanse the body and spirit.It all started way back in 1825 when a Chinese traveling opera troupe (or circus depending what you read) came to the Kathu area of Phuket to perform. At that time, Kathu was the main town in Phuket as it was the center of the tin mining industry that helped make Phuket quite wealthy. Many Chinese settled here during the tin mining boom years, and thus you have a huge Thai-Chinese population in Phuket, mostly around Kathu and Phuket Town. Anyway, the travelers got sick, and then followed a vegetarian diet and bingo! T...

The Phuket Vegetarian Festival is Coming!
2008-09-23 16:47:00 (Update 8th October) - photos are online:• Phuket Vegetarian Festival Photos 2008One of my favourite times of year is nearly here! The Phuket Vegetarian Festival starts on September 28th this year. The date is based on the Chinese lunar calendar and varies year to year (last year the festival started on October 11th) - this year is a bit early and I hope the weather holds, as late September/early October has a habit of being rather grotty.This is a spectacular, gruesome, fascinating festival. There is so much to see, some interesting food to sample, a real sense of history and tradition that many people do not realise exists in Phuket (hey, it's not all beaches, you know!). Over the last couple of years I have tried to see as much as possible, and this year plan to take a week off work in order to better experience the full range of festival happenings.
