I served this with a light babyleaf salad.
As I’m Scottish and Burns Night is just a couple of days away (25th Jan) I thought I’d share recipes I’ve penned for our home-made Burns Supper.
Traditionally a Burns Supper is a bit of an offal fest and a fair number of meat eaters prefer a veggie or vegan option to the traditional Scottish Fayre. I created these recipes with that in mind. The meal consists of:
As it has been far too many weeks since I blogged one of my own recipes I must write up the Mexican inspired feast we enjoyed for dinner this evening, which consisted of:
This, or rather last, year for Xmas dinner I was a big fat cheat and for our main course made the ‘thanksgiving roast’ featured on the Ellen show.
A video of the recipe is here:

I reduced the quantities (by around 1/3 per ingredient) to make this suitable for 2, used pre-prepared Veg stock (as opposed to the “no chicken” stock recommended) and seasoned with mixed herbs, onion powder, garlic powder & mustard powder to replace the Blackened Steak Magic spice – which, as far as I know, is not available in the UK. I found it a bit of a pain to find Cheesecloth in Edinburgh, but got lucky at a local Italian deli; though a haberdashery may be a better bet.
It has been far too long since my last blog entry. I have been cooking – honest – just terribly lax in writing up the proceedings, though as so many people are reading these pages(and thanks to every one of you, it’s most humbling) I had to share tonight’s triumph of Sri Lankan-style Coconut curry. This was really simple to prepare & was a taste bud tickler.
The scrappy image above, snapped on my mobile phone, certainly doesn’t do it justice.

I served this curry with whole grain rice but Basmati would be a more appropriate accompaniment.

If you have a go at this leave a comment to let me know how you get on.
I have an even easier recipe for mac & cheese which is nut free & a little less fancy, though still perfect comfort food.
Ingredients:
Kofta is generally spiced meatballs, this version is a sweetened vegan version and was adapted from a recipe in the Vegan Taste of East Africa cookbook, though I changed it significantly based ingredients I had to hand.
I’ve been asked by the lovely people at Onekind.org to submit some of my recipes to their ‘lifestyle’ section, have a look at my first submission, a tried & tested recipe for Shepherd’s Pie (link below).
It’s a good ‘un, though I seem to have mistyped the milk requirement, use 150ml of Soy Milk, rather than 250ml.

More to come here & there, I’ll try not to double up.
