Vegan London : Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurants in London PIZZA RESTAURANTS - Warning! Many vegans wrongly assume that all pizza without cheese is vegan. In some pizza restaurants in the UK the pizza base or the tomato sauce contain dairy or other animal-derived ingredients. Also, pasta dishes are often made using egg pasta! A summary of the main pizza restaurants follows. Pizza Express have written to us (see letter) to confirm that that their pizza bases are suitable for vegans, as is their tomato base which is simply fresh tomatoes, salt, pepper and fresh basil. Ask Restaurants (ASK) have confirmed that that their Margharita, Mushroom, and Vegetariana pizzas (ordered without cheese, of course!) Pizza Hut: they have reformulated their pizza bases - Pan and Italian bases are suitable for vegans providing that the pizza toppings you order do not contain cheese and meat products. CHAIN OF CAFES & RESTAURANTS I'm a little loathe to include omnivorous restaurants on these web pages.

Probably the most relied upon and widely used of these is Dashi. Dashi is the authentic flavor of Japanese cuisine, and there is really nothing else like it.

Products Resource Center Japanese Seasonings 101 Today we're going to go over some of the various ingredients the Japanese use in their cooking, and the different results and recipes you can expect to get with these ingredients. Vegan Good Things This is a loooong overdue post. I've had my copy of Brian Patton's (aka The Sexy Vegan) Happy Hour at Home for many months now, but as I mentioned in my last post, the arrival of my copy of Brian's latest book coincided with the arrival of a three month bout of morning sickness. While I still won't be drinking any cocktails for the foreseeable future, I've been getting my cooking (and eating) mojo back, thanks in large part to this new book. I reviewed Brian's first book last year, and it's no secret that I'm a big fan of the guy. He's totally hilarious, and the fact that he floated the idea of naming his second book Sexy 2: Electric Vindaloo means that we are kindred spirits, because if you find a way to toss this particular movie reference into a conversation, I will totally be your BFF. There are so many recipes that I have flagged to make, but the first one I did was the Stromboli. There also is a video for this recipe here The Starburst Makes 1 cocktail
Delicious dishes that are fit for a princess Makiko Itoh SPECIAL TO THE JAPAN TIMES March 3 is Hina Matsuri, also known as Girls’ Festival or Momo no Sekku (Peach Day). This day was a traditional seasonal and religious event on the lunar calendar, during the period when peach blossoms were in bloom — around early April on the Gregorian calendar. (Japan has followed the Gregorian calendar since the late 19th century, so peaches are no longer in bloom during Hina Matsuri, but they are still symbolic of the festival.) During the latter half of the Edo Period (1603-1868), Momo no Sekku evolved into the festival it is now: a day to celebrate women and to wish for their health and happiness. While it’s not an official national holiday, it’s observed widely in Japan, especially by families that have young daughters. The centerpiece of Hina Matsuri is the ohina-sama or hina (princess) doll display, depicting the wedding procession of an imperial princess of the Heian Period (794-1185). Not all Hina Matsuri foods are sugary though. 1 tbsp

Ehoumaki (ehou maki): Lucky long sushi roll for Setsubun no hi (Another one from the archives. Today (February 3rd) is once again Setsubun no hi. Unfortunately, what with trying pack up the house by the end of month when we are moving, and the Bento Challenge going on over at Just Bento, I haven’t had much time to do post-worthy cooking for Just Hungry. But some should come… In the meantime, if you want to eat a big whole sushi roll for luck today, here’s how! This year’s ehou (lucky direction) is a bit to the right of East-North-East. While I’m at it, here are the ehou for the next four years: 2009 - East-North-East 2010 - West-South-West 2011 - South-South-East2012 - North-North-West Enjoy your ehou maki! This year, setsubun no hi (節分の日) falls on the 3rd of February (some years it’s on the 4th). I grew up in and around the Kanto region, which is the area around Tokyo, so I didn’t know about ehou-maki （（恵方巻き）growing up, because it’s a Kansai region (the area around Osaka and Kyoto) custom for setsubun no hi. The ingredients for one roll. Unroll.
Wannabe A Vegan! | Going From Vegetarian to Vegan…really, no more cheese? So I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve never had oyster mushrooms. I typically stick to white, crimini, shiitake, and portabellas. Part of the reason I enjoy testing so much is because it gives me the opportunity to try new things. I’ve been wanting to try oyster mushrooms so when I saw a recipe using them from Terry Hope Romero, I jumped on it and am so glad I did. I picked up these beauties at the farmer’s market this weekend: Oyster Mushrooms And after using the super secret tester recipe I got this: Oyster Mushroom Arepas Arepas are the Venezuelan equivalent of little fat tortillas or sopes, if you’ve had those. Arepas So be on the lookout for Terry’s upcoming book and go ahead, be adventurous and try something new – like me, you might discover that you actually love something that you haven’t tried before! Now, what to do with all the squash… Pumpkin! Tomatoes & Corn Adjusting to seasonal eating was a bit of a challenge at first but now I truly enjoy it. Apples FM Haul! Til tomorrow…
Scandikitchen: Scandinavian Food Scandinavia is a big place, and filing our whole food culture in a box marked “pickled herring” isn’t going to cut the (dill) mustard. There’s a lot of talk in the press about something called the Nordic Diet. It all stems from a study about how eating the Nordic way can be very beneficial for your whole being. Scandinavian food is a bit like us, really: no nonsense, direct and occasionally your face. • Grain and cereal such as rye and oats • Seafood and fish, mainly prawns, salmon, mackerel and herring • Meat both smoked and cured, including lots of game (sorry, Rudolf) • Stuff from trees, bushes and fields such as wild berries and mushrooms A distinct lack of sunlight and very long, cold winters meant we quickly got used to the idea of preserving food, pickling vegetables and smoking and curing meats to make sure we had enough to last the winter. Scandinavian food is simple. • Leksands Crispbread – big, round wholesome slices of crispbread. Scandinavian food is simple. Smörgåsbord Fish Meat

Todd Caldecott | Home Welcome to Fasting Connection - Fasting Connection A Support Network For People Who Fast This week didn't go as well for me. My first fast day was last Monday and I ate 637 calories, instead of eating only 500 like I was supposed to. Then the second fast day, Wednesday I ended up eating 1327 calories. I started the week at 129.5 and ended it at 131.5. Here is why: I got lazy with my food journal. Instead of measuring everything and adding up all the calories immediately after eating, I slowly started to slide into guess-timating how many calories and then forgot to even add up the day's calories.
