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.

My beef with Britain... Tofutti + Blue Diamond deficiency

I can't sleep. I have been tossing and turning, frustrated to no end that I am unable to find suitable replacements for my vegan diet staples in London. Here of all places should be the glorious land of vegan goldmine products.

I'm pretty certain the world is aware that I am a Tofutti fanatic... since moving to the UK, I was STOKED to discover my favourite brand existing selected Holland and Barretts... however... I was very disappointed by the soycream selection.
Why does it taste a MILLION times better in Canada.. and why only 3 lacking-in-creativity flavours???

Almond Breeze, the best thing to happen to milk alternatives is not available whatsoever overseas. PLEASE import this heavenly beverage for those of us seeking optimal nutrition and deliciousness! There is one solitary almond milk variety existing in the UK... it comes sweetened (which I dislike) and has the consistency and taste of water.

P.S Where are the gelatin-free marshmellows???
PPS. Somebody send me some graham cracker crumbs!!
