Recipe: Roast Pumpkin Dip

If you’ve been around these parts for long it’ll come as no surprise that I’m a huge fan of both pumpkin and dips. In fact, the only surprise there is possibly that I haven’t already shared a recipe for a pumpkin dip! We’re coming towards the end of the pumpkin season here in the Southern Hemisphere, but as I’m seeing all our Northern neighbours celebrating the arrival of the vegetable I was very glad to get another pumpkin in my veggie box to play with. I have a big week of work ahead of me with lots of meetings and deadlines, so I knew having something healthy and delicious on hand that I could graze on whenever I got a chance would be vital, so whipped this up to help fuel my week.

Recipe: Asparagus, Leek & Goats Cheese Risotto

I’m so excited that it is finally asparagus season again in Australia! I was very happy to find some in my latest veggie box delivery, and I’m hopeful that they keep showing up as they are such a delicious vegetable and so easy to cook. I’m sure my mum must find it funny that I’m now so enraptured by asparagus as I definitely wasn’t always – but I guess that’s all part of growing up!

Pubs for Vegetarians: The Gasometer Hotel

It’s been a while since I posted the last stop on my Pubs for Vegetarians tour, so I thought it was about time I headed out and tried somewhere new to share with you all! In the end I didn’t have to venture far as we decided to head back to the The Gasometer Hotel which is only a few minutes walk away! B and I had eaten there once before, but the menu changes seasonally, so we decided it was time for another visit to see what they have on offer at the moment!

Recipe: Pumpkin and Chickpea Burgers

During the recent AFL finals series I found myself home on a Friday or Saturday night each weekend cheering on my beloved Sydney Swans until they unfortunately bowed out for the year. I’m a mad football fan but B is somewhat less enthused so I decided I would make up for yet another Saturday night in by whipping up some hearty homemade pumpkin and chickpea burgers, served with thick-cut chips to help ease his pain (and ultimately mine too, as the Swans lost that night, boo). They turned out really delicious and it was probably lucky we ate them before a night on the couch as we were so full that we couldn’t move far anyway! Now to get ready for the cricket season to commence!

Review: Monk Bodhi Dharma Cafe

After successfully follow Cindy & Michael’s suggestion of trying Bayte cafe for brunch I had no hesitation trying out another cafe that they raved about in recent weeks – Monk Bodhi Dharma in Balaclava. Tucked away down a back lane way off Carlisle Street I probably would have never found this place, but I’m very glad I did! The have an entirely vegetarian (and egg free) menu and most items are able to be vegan-ised, made gluten free and in some cases sugar free as well. Impressive!
