HEROES + SOUP

Feeling a bit uninspired in the kitchen as of late. I'm getting antsy for new recipes!! I managed to swindle a yum Red Lentil Soup recipe from my sister in law, the most accommodating hostess! (Still waiting on that couscous salad!!!!).
I realized I purchased two packs of dried brown lentils.. so I used them and it was orgasmic. There is nothing more delightful than a warm succulent soup on a blustery London day!
Bless you Em.

Here is her recipe:
• 1 package red lentils
• 3 tbsp veggie boullion
• 6-8 cups water (make sure lentils are covered)
• 2 carrots, chopped
• 1 onion, chopped

Bring to a boil then simmer for 40-45 min.
Remember to stir!


I am reallllllllllly looking forward to Vegan A Go-Go coming out at the end of Feb. Sarah Kramer is my hero!! At Uni we received a photo brief to do a self portrait as our hero/heroine and I chose an amalgamation of Sarah Kramer and my mum. I constantly find myself returning to her (and Tanya Bernard's) cookbooks after being completely disappointed in the internet selection and Veganomicon. Perhaps it's solely my lack of chef-skills... but every recipe I have churned out has failed miserably.
