Fried Egg over Truffled Kale and Chickpea Puree
Filed in Brunch, Dinner, Gluten Free, Vegetarian, breakfast, lunch, 22/07/2010, 12:26We’ve got lots and lots of kale and Swiss Chard in the garden that needs eating up before it flowers. For a quick dinner side, we had it over a bean puree with feta cheese. There was bean puree leftover the next day, so I had it with some sauteed kale drizzled with a bit [...]
Grilled Pizza
Filed in Dinner, Vegetarian, lunch, 05/07/2010, 10:32It was close to 100 degrees the other day. Heating up the kitchen with a 400 degree oven is the last thing we wanted to do,so firing up the barbie is the way to go. Grilling pizza dough is quick and gives it a crispy charred flavor that is as close as you’re going to [...]
Asparagus Nachos with Goat Cheese and Mushrooms
Filed in Appetizer, Side, Vegetarian, lunch, 20/06/2010, 15:14Okay Asparagus isn’t the only component to these nachos, nor is it the principal ingredient, but it is an ingenious concept. My sister had some asparagus Nachos at some restaurant in Boston, so we decided to (loosely) follow their example. You’d think that Asparagus Nachos might be healthier than regular nachos, but that’s [...]
Asparagus Ottolenghi Style
Filed in Gluten Free, Salad, Side, Vegetarian, lunch, 07/06/2010, 22:18The guardian has a section called “The New Vegetarian,” which (usually) features a weekly recipe from Yotam Ottolenghi, who is.. the best. The other day I came across this.
Why didn’t I think of cheese and tomatoes on top of asparagus!!! There’s no alterations needed, it’s perfect. Unless of course you don’t have everything on hand- [...]
Poached Egg with Breaded Avocado, Fanned Spring Onions, Mushrooms and Sriracha
Filed in Brunch, Dinner, It's the weekend!!!!, Vegetarian, breakfast, lunch, 23/05/2010, 15:51It’s been a long hard week. I had to put Ella to sleep, which was one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to do. I am still adjusting to life without her, it’s slightly lonely and feels like I’ve lost a limb.
If deep fried avocadoes hasn’t been a food trend yet, it’s going to [...]

Filed in Brunch, Gluten Free, It's the weekend!!!!, Vegetarian, breakfast, lunch, 22/05/2010, 15:29You’d think it would be easy to make anything involving ingredients as delicate as chive blossoms look pretty, but apparently not.

Golden and Red Beet Tart
Filed in Appetizer, Brunch, Dinner, Side, Vegetarian, lunch, 01/05/2010, 14:15I had grand plans- I envisioned alternating layers or thingly sliced purple and golden beets, dotted with goat cheese and fresh basil over golden puff pastry.
The oven was on and I was about to wrap up my beets, before realizing they were huge! “They’ll never cook, I had better chop them up.” So i [...]

Busy Times, Yoga, Fresh Choice Market
Filed in Vegetarian, lunch, sandwiches, 07/04/2010, 21:42The past couple of days have been a bit busy. Yesterday I worked, then biked home, recovered form said bike ride, spilled approx. 2 lbs of pistachios on the floor, cleaned up pistachios, made dinner, and then went to yoga. Dinner was a quick salad with butternut squash croutons and a side of mozzarella baked [...]
Zucchini and Pea Salad with Parmesan Reggiano and Fresh Basil
Filed in Dinner, Gluten Free, Salad, Side, Vegetarian, lunch, 03/04/2010, 12:15When I was little, I had a vendetta against peas. I hated peas with every ounce of my body, and I will never forget one fateful Sunday dinner when I actually ate some peas. We had the usual- roast meat with roast potatoes, and a few plates of veg, one of which was PEAS. I [...]
