Simple cafe on the same block as Champs Family Bakery! Food: The day I visited they had a veggie sandwich special that was not only great, but totally trumped the looks of my omni friend’s turkey sandwich (obviously). Fresh bread, hummus, and tons of veggies; only disappointed that it didn’t come with a couple of chips or something besides a strawberry. Atmosphere: eclectic decor, but a little too cramped/filled with wifi users for my taste.

Soo Hwang Chue sounds a little better in Chinese than it does translated into Vegetarian Yellow Sparrow, and like the Lion’s Head Casserole , these don’t really look like birds. Naming issues aside, it’s a fabulous dish. It takes a little prep work and a bit of finesse, so it’s one of those dishes that you want to make for your special vegetarian friend to show them that you went the extra bit for them.

The evening had hardly got off to an auspicious start. Forced to leave our cosy, dry table at the Mucky Pup (aptly named as it seemed home to every noisy dog in North London) in search of sustenance, we set out on the trail of somewhere called the Sultan Ahmet, reportedly one of the oldest Turkish restaurants in London and purveyors of top charcoal-grilled kebabs

Vankaya Gasagasala Kura An exotic Andhra-style rich celebration dish with smooth, warm and rich flavors. No onions or tomatoes go into its making, the main player being poppy seeds which lend the dish its body and a subtle sweet flavor. As you bite into the eggplant, you can savor layers of roasted sweet, tangy and savory flavors

Brick lane has some great st food that is reasonably priced, however be warned of the touts outside the indian restaurants who prey unsuspecting tourists. On Sunday Brick lane has a whole indoor st food market where stallholders provide … Oh yes, I’m a fan of Brick Lane too, especially the hippy warehouse markets, especially so much interesting stuff on sale

I’ve been eager to tell you for weeks… I’m pregnant! Maybe you’ve already noticed the decline in posts and I’m sorry. This morning sickness thing has been killing me–it’s wrongly named because mine lasts all day long. Feeling ill has made it impossible to cook or even think about food. Everything tastes funny and even though I’m always hungry, I never want to eat anything, except fruit

My omnivore neighbors love this place and since they delivery, and I was too lazy to cook, I gave it a try. Blockheads is a better quality Chipotle or Qdobas. They’re menu has a lot of vegetable or bean based vegetarian options and they claim that they can make many vegetarian items vegan; they offer tofu based sour cream and a soy cheese

The Lady in RedShe is the one who you would find packing three suitcases for a one week trip. Someone who would packed in lots of shopping of books and clothes, and sneaked in bottles and packs of chilli paste, spices and what-nots from Malaysia and then get slapped with huge amount for overweight baggage back to Jakarta. She would be the one who knows the best of quality, the right and appropriate thing to do at a time and she makes her decision firm and fast

So, we’ve done Zucca, we’ve done Trullo. Each, in their own way, brilliant crowd- (and critic-) pleasing local Italian restaurants that punch well above their weight for their price point and together form almost a statement of intent regarding the direction that Italian cuisine can, and should, take in the capital. But what of anywhere else

Whole Earth Bakery is amazing! I’ve been going here for years and it’s the only place in the city that I can find vegan, wheat-free and sugar-free baked items. Many places offer vegan treats, but all contain wheat or sugar, others are wheat-free but not vegan or sugar-free. This place does it all! For vegans and those with food allergies, Whole Earth Bakery is a godsend.

Mixed Vegetable Kootu The kitchen smelt remarkably delicious with warm aromatic flavors while cooking today’s recipe, mixed vegetable kootu. The reason for the wonderful aroma were the roasted spices and lentils – asafoetida, cinnamon, bengal gram and poppy seeds that were ground to a paste with fresh coconut forming the masala base of the kootu. Makes for a memorable side not only with rice but with dosa and chapati too.

This dish is going to be the accompaniment to tonight’s dinner, huevos rancheros, which will be made very shortly. 
Refried Beans (Vegetarian Version) This recipe is quick & super easy to make! Refried beans, or frijoles refritos , is a dish that goes well with many different Mexican foods: It makes a great side for steak or chicken fajitas , quesadillas , pupusas, empanadas, etc., and of course, huevos racheros

I’ve categorized this dish as a “breakfast food,” although you can also serve it for lunch or dinner. That’s what I did.

One of the great ethnic food styles of London, I’ve never had an ocakbasi (translating as far as I can tell as simply ‘charcoal grill’) that’s been anything less than decent, and they have the potential to be very good indeed. Yet bizarrely, they also seem to be one of the most overlooked cuisines in the capital, certainly next to Chinese or Vietnamese or Indian/Pakistani. At the risk of sounding patronising, I can’t help feeling they often only have themselves to blame – I’ve known many a very impressive ocakbasi grill (characterised by their huge extractor hoods) hiding towards the back of the restaurant, while pride of place in the shop window goes to two columns of sweaty doner meat and a tray of deep-fried chicken.
