Pannacotta with agar agar Right from the moment I started eating vegetarian I wanted to test agar agar as a replacement for gelatin. Gelatin – as you probably know – is made from bones so not vegetarian at all. And agar agar is the...
Toast and avocado: marriage made in heaven I have a confession to make; not too long ago I thought avocado was an overhyped thing. I thought it tasted like nothing and was not really something I cared for. Until I started making thé best...
Shooting in difficult conditions Taking pictures of your food in a restaurant is a big thing these days. We all have our phones at the ready and as soon as the food comes out we start snapping away. Sounds familiar? However… not all those...
Somewhere in the back of my mind a burger still equals meat. And that’s odd really as I’ve had countless delicious vegan burgers. Even before I started eating vegetarian I loved vega burgers or plant burgers. (No one ever calls them plant burgers I...

What about the milk? When you first think about going vegan there is probably lots of things going through your mind: what do I do with eggs? How can I survive without milk? Or cheese? Cheese, I have to confess, is probably my worst...
O help now what about my protein?? You made the decision that from now on you’ll only be eating plant-based foods and no animal products anymore. But what are the things you need to look out for and which nutrients need to be substituted?...
