We all know Chinese food in England isn’t authentic Chinese food, but that’s not to say it tastes bad. I’ve grown up with sweet and sour chicken and it’s a taste I will never forget or want to leave behind. Though my days of chicken-eating are over, my sweet and sour cravings are still prominent.… Continue reading Sweet and Sour Tofu (vegan | gluten-free)

Curry night is a religiously celebrated weekly event in England by at least ninety percent of the country’s population.

Just Vermicelli (vegan | gluten-free)
Sometimes, a cold snack just doesn’t do it for me. When I’m peckish, there are times where I simply just want a snack that’s hot- in England, that’s pretty fitting for the weather 364 days of the year. I don’t understand why hot snacks aren’t more common actually. After a visit to China town, I… Continue reading Just Vermicelli (vegan | gluten-free)

It’s human nature to crave comfort food. When times are rough, when you’ve got the weekday blues or simply when you’re reminiscing about the past, those home comforts are what we reach out for.

Steak and Ale Pie (vegan)
Do not let the term ‘humble pie’ fool you– pie is NOT humble. If there was ever a food that offers a surprise each time you eat it, it is definitely a pie. Ok, well it can be more down to earth, but it can just as equally, be located at the opposite end of… Continue reading Steak and Ale Pie (vegan)
Meaty Mushrooms on Toast (vegan | gluten-free)
I've never actually claimed to be vegan, despite meat and dairy being absent from my diet. Admittedly, I have on the odd occasion consumed egg and even meat. Well, let me explain- living in China as an expat requires compromises since adapting to a new culture usually means a level of change. Meat is difficult… Continue reading Meaty Mushrooms on Toast (vegan | gluten-free)
Roast Pumpkin Risotto (vegan | gluten-free)
I think I’ve overwhelmed myself with the amount of pumpkin recipes I’ve had to continue cooking up in my kitchen since Halloween. Note to self: never over spend on pumpkins for a Halloween party again. It’s literally pumpkin fatigue central at my apartment! Anyway, what this mistake has taught me is that I can be… Continue reading Roast Pumpkin Risotto (vegan | gluten-free)
Drunken Noodles (vegan| gluten-free)
Now I’m not quite sure whether a drunk man came home one day to his Thailand abode with the munchies, had no idea what to make and shoved the entire contents of his cupboards and fridge into a pan and fried the shit out of them or if there was ever a recipe adapted to… Continue reading Drunken Noodles (vegan| gluten-free)
