I’ve shown off my kitchen in previous years so let me show off my new kit.

Isn’t it cute? It’s a Wild Woodgas Stove and I bought her a couple of months back.

Why? Well mostly because Torbay Council frown on setting open fires on the beach so I bought it to contain the flames. It’s also super light weight, and you can pack it, its fuel and your matches into a cute little billy can. We take it out for supper on the beach once a week. Then on Friday I post a recipe on here.  You can find the past recipes here and this week we have a Moroccan Spiced Chickpea Stew.

2 teaspoon cumin

Mix together and pop in a container.

In The Wild

One can of chickpeas
One can of baby carrots and peas
Jar of passata
Water
Your container of spice blend
A lemon

Drain the veg and chickpeas and add them to the pan.

You want to cover the veg and chickpeas with a 50/50 mix of water and passata. Don’t panic: you don’t need to be absolutely precise. Then add in the spice blend.

You just need to get everything piping hot and then squeeze on the juice of half of the lemon.

Serve with some flatbread.

Vegan Mofo 2019: Introduce yourself

On By ClareIn veganmofo191 Comment

It is, once again, the Vegan Month of Food. A whole month of blogging and Instagramming all about vegan food. So lets start with the introductions.

us

First of all I’m Clare (the red head) early thirties, newly unemployed, food obsessive. My other half and our other writer is Kate; brunette, mid thirties, web developer. We like to eat out, watch TV, walk just about everywhere, look at cute animals, drink hot chocolate and play with Lego.

We love to eat Indian food, pizza, and anything baked, and we’ll try any vegan mac and cheese recipe at least once. In the last year I’ve started to started to drift my (embarrassingly large) cook book collections towards more general titles enjoying the challenge of veganising the recipes as well as leaning new techniques and food from cultures I wouldn’t ordinarily be exposed to.

books

Right now I’m obsessed with Magnus Nilsson’s The Nordic Baking Book. It was book love at first sight and my goal is making at least one recipe from it a week until it begs me for a divorce. My other cooking project right now is wild cooking. On the woodgas stove or on an open fire if nobody is going to catch me.

So that’s what you can expect from us this month: fire, baking and vegan food.
