Vegan High Tea

On Sunday afternoon I had a few of my best girlfriends over to catch up and celebrate some birthdays, an engagement and my belated housewarming. We decided to do a high-tea of sorts, and as two of them are vegan we made the whole shebang vegan friendly. I supplied the savoury treats and some pimms and lemonade, and a few of them brought along some sweet treats to round off our vegan feast.

Recipe: Roast Pumpkin Risotto

I’m pretty happy that it’s autumn and therefore pumpkin season here in Australia as it’s up there as one of my favourite vegetables. It’s not only delicious but it’s amazingly versatile. I use it in everything – salads, burgers, curries, soup and now a risotto! I go through phases with risotto, I either make it a lot or go months without cooking it at all but I think it’s safe to say I’m back in a risotto phase right now!

Recipe: Banana Pancakes

On the morning of my birthday I was treated to a delicious pancake breakfast made by B. I whipped up the batter the night before so we didn’t have to think too much in the morning, and served them up with chopped bananas, strawberries and a little of the salted caramel sauce leftover from my birthday cupcakes! Oh, and a sneaky glass of champagne too!

Recipe: Nut and Seed Granola

Earlier in the year my dad was put on a sulfite free diet and whilst it hasn’t been too tricky for lunches and dinners, he has found breakfast to be a little less fun. He’s a muesli lover from way back and dried fruits are now a big no-no which limits his options somewhat. I decided to help brighten his mornings a little by whipping up a batch of granola that was free from any fruits but instead packed full of nuts and seeds. I gave it to him with a bottle of my cashew milk and he was a very happy camper!

Recipe: Garlic Rosemary Popcorn

The colder weather is descending on Melbourne and for me that means the return of the footy on my TV (yay!) and more evenings snuggling on the couch watching movies. Both of these activities are prime for popcorn eating, so I have been playing around with some new flavour combos and I think this one is a real winner (hopefully my footy team will be too!)
