Where do you get your protein?

Someone’s just found out you’re a vegan (or plant-based). Here it comes, the questions about how you possibly manage to ingest enough protein without consuming animal products.

Currently, protein seems to be the big one people ask about, at least anecdotally that seems to be the case. I can only assume that it must be due to the popularity of so many high protein or protein focused diets, like Atkins or Dukan. I’ve been vegan for over 20 years, and was vegetarian for about 14 years or so before that, and protein was never raised as an issue.  Read More →

What’s in your lunch box?

Do you take your lunch to work?

If so, what do you like to take? Over the weekend I like to do a little bit of ‘work lunch’ food preparation for the week ahead. Sometimes it’s a simple as making sure we have a variety of fillings and enough bread in the freezer to make sandwiches. Sometimes it’s salads or sushi or rice paper rolls or roast vegetables. It just depends on how I feel and what we’ve got.

Today it was salads. I had some leftover rice in the fridge from dinner last night, so I decided to make a rice salad, and then a mixed bean salad for a little variety. I usually try to make a couple of different things. So come morning all I have to do is put some salads in a lunch box, maybe add some leafy greens and chopped tomato and we’ve got healthy, cheap and filling lunches. Read More →

How I learned to love eggplant, plus an easy eggplant bake

Confession: there was time I hated eggplant.

I’d never had it prepared well, so my only experience of eggplant was tasteless and rubbery. I wasted years avoiding any dish with eggplant. Until the day a friend brought some marinated eggplant to a BBQ we were hosting. Lebanese eggplants (long skinny ones) halved and soaked in a miso marinade. When we cooked them on the BBQ they smelled delicious and turned out soft and gooey. Oh yum!

While I was converted to the Lebanese and similar varieties of eggplant, I was still a bit wary of the larger globe variety. After all, they were known to be bitter with tougher skins and recipes usually called for them to be salted before cooking. Read More →
