A meal or two at Vegan Yes, Brick Lane

A meal or two at Vegan Yes, Brick Lane

Exploring the unknown: vegan food! My colleague Paul and I sometimes treat ourselves to a lunch out.

He sent me the menu…

A recipe: Dust cake, a ‘free’ cocoa brownie

Baking without ingredients? I eat pretty much everything and I don’t have a problem with non vegetarian ingredients or gluten, but I do like a challenge. On Instagram I follow a few accounts of bakers and foodies who produce some decent looking dishes which are often gluten, dairy, fat free and so forth. I decided to give such fad trend a go, more to see for myself what can come out of baking without fluffy ingredients. I just looked in…
