Recipes | Vegetarian Food Directory

As well as bookmarking recipes from cookbooks , I mentioned that I have bookmarked some recipes from websites also.    I've had my eye on a couple of Ethiopian recipes from Azeb Woldemichael of   Mazi Mas as featured in The Guardian .  It is thanks to The Guardian that I have discovered Mazi Mas and have become a fan from afar.   Mazi Mas which translates in Greek 'with us' is a roaming eatery that serves global home cuisine to the public.  The chefs are migrant and refugee women who have struggled to find work in the U.K.  Mazi Mas   reminds me a little of The League of Kitchens in  NYC, America. For those of you who read my blog, will know that  I've been cooking up some global cuisine since the start of this blog; and most recently Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine has been on the menu , thanks to some new people frequenting my workplace and inspiring me.   I was more tempted by the Berbere spices which I have com...

Its a soup kind of day.     I actually made this Berbere Split Pea, Sweetcorn and Yellow Courgette Soup when I had courgettes growing in the garden plot, they have come to an end now (though I have still have some courgette dishes to share).   In recent years I have been exploring and enjoying more and more Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisine. The last recipe I made was during Refugee Week.  I have to admit this Berbere Soup is not authentic,  but it is inspired as I was given a little jar of homemade Berbere spice  blend by one of the volunteers in my workplace.    This soup not only has homegrown courgettes, it also has but yellow split peas and sweetcorn enhanced with a good sprinkling of Berbere spice blend.  If your  interested in seeing more Ethiopian and Eritrean recipes, please see here.  I am sharing this with  Food of the Wold hosted by Simple Living Eating and the spotlight is on Ethiopian cuisine; and...

Vegan Mof o prompt  today is Your Favourite cuisine,.  Truth is I quite like most cuisine so it was really hard to choose one, but whilst I was catching up with some of my blog reads: Rock My Vegan Socks, I was reminded me of how much Eritrean and Ethiopian cuisine is fast becoming my favourite cuisine. Early on this year, I shared some vegetarian and vegan Eritrea for Refugee Week.  I also wrote about the plight of refugees and asylum seekers in the UK.  Please see that blog post here i f you wish to read it further.   Today, I share some both Eritrean and Ethiopian recipes for World Vegan Month of November. Well before starting this blog, I only had Ethiopian - Eritrean cuisine twice in my life.  The first time ever was in 2000, when I went to see my best friend Leah in the US.  She picked me up from the airport in San Francisco and took me to an Ethiopian restaurant in the big smog  fog city for a meal.  It was one of the best meals I...

Although I no longer work with asylum seekers and refugees in my day job anymore, I quietly when opportunity presents continue to do some volunteer work.  I like that I am still able to tap into skills, knowledge and experience from my previous roles to support individuals who may benefit from them.  I don't boast about it, because I am selfishly doing it for myself.  I want to remain true to myself and to keep myself rooted to the real world.  Its easy to lose sight of reality when your working in a middle class environment where people ponder their first world problems and millennials talk about selfies and social media presence.  Its not my world and I don't actually fit in, so I look for other opportunities to engage with people who keep me grounded. I have on some occasions had the honour to cook some vegetarian meals that happen to be accidentally vegan for asylum seekers and refugees.  I am pleased share food over smiles. I don't like taking ph...
