I’m guest posting over at Claire K Creations today as Claire and her hubby are off traveling around New York. (Jealous!!) I thought I would submit a winter brown rice salad as it is a great example of the kind of dish I love to create and regularly have it packed into my bag for the [...]

Eggplant and Chickpea Curry – Vegan

Eggplant & Chickpea Curry

by Erin B on February 3, 2013

This dish was a bit of  a happy accident. I’ve started picking eggplants off the small bush in the front yard and so finding things to do with them has become a bit of a focus, it’s not a challenge that is at all worth complaining about, but the sense of worry and anticipation I [...]

Late on Wednesday night I was hit with aches, pains and a wave of tiredness that I was not expecting.

This dish encapsulates a number of those experiments, providing a nutritious balance of grains, beans, veg and nuts.

Paul has changed jobs, my grandfather passed away, uni is back and we’ve been madly preparing for the launch of the brand spanking new Eat.Drink.Blog website.

Monday Night Tempeh Tagine

February 27, 2012

We’ve had a bit of a tough month; work pressures are building up again, we’ve been battling sickness and just generally feeling like there’s not enough time to do anything properly.
