There are various vegetarian recipes to be found on this page, most of them are ideal as a light meal, a starter or for lunch. You are sure to find something you like (at least I hope so!!).
Baked Sweet Potatoes with Cheese and Salsa
I love sweet potatoes. They taste lovely and are super healthy too, packed with vitamins A and C, fibre, and antioxidants. They are also very filling and cheap.
Burritos
If I ask my husband what he would like to have for dinner, without hesitating he always says "Burritos". He absolutely adores these burritos and no wonder because they are actually quite lovely.
Chunky Potato Wedges with Guacamole and Salsa
This is a very healthy snack, perfect as a light lunch or a starter before the barbecue.
Crêpes with Garlic Sauce, Shiitake Mushrooms and Spinach
One day I looked into my fridge and cupboards and the ingredients listed below are the same ones I had available that day.
Crêpes with Pearl Barley, Mushrooms and Mustard Sauce
I love crêpes...the French pancakes originating from Brittany in France.
Curry Nut Loaf
This is my favourite nut loaf. It is originally from a book called World Food Cafe in London. The cafe is amazing and so is the book, I definitely recommend both!
French Fries (Chips)
I would never, ever, ever buy deep fried French fries or any other deep fried food for that matter because in my view, anything that is "cooked" in that way is completely ruined.
Grilled Bread with Tomato Sauce, Carrots and Cheese
Just before you shake your head in disgust, keep in mind that the tomato sauce I use is NOT the usual, disgusting, red sauce (sometimes called ketchup, filled with additives and sugar) that many people buy and put on everything, especially on children's food.
Grilled Sweet Potato Wedges
This must be the shortest recipe on this website. The ingredient's list has one ingredient only...sweet potatoes!
Grilled Vegetable Sandwiches
I often make these when I have some "past their best" vegetables in the fridge. My husband absolutely loves these sandwiches and I have to admit, so do I.
Magical Pumpkin in Coconut Sauce
I famously had a very similar side dish once in Nairobi which you can read all about in the The Spinach Dish From the Mystical House in Nairobi's Forest. It is a lovely, slightly sweet side dish with a delicate coconut aftertaste. It is absolutely lovely served with main dishes that include spinach, especially Indian and African food.
Oven Baked Root Vegetables
There is nothing better than preparing this dish with your own vegetables from the garden.
Pitta Pizzas
Need a quick, tasty, yet healthy dinner but are too tired to make anything decent? Look no further. I often make truckloads of these to freeze and re-heat later.
Stuffed Peppers
These are my version of the stuffed pepper I learnt how to make on a veggie course here in Iceland.
Sweet Potatoes and Spinach
If your haemoglobin levels are low, this recipe is perfect because you have iron in the spinach and vitamin C in the sweet potatoes.
The Spinach and Onion Dish From the Mystical House in Nairobi's Forest
Oh boy...there is a long story behind this recipe and how I obtained it. It all started in Nairobi, September 2007.
Uganda Wraps with Avocado and Carrots
The wraps pictured were the ones I was served at the equator in Uganda when we were travelling there en route to Rwanda (gorilla trekking).
Wraps with Spinach and Hummus
In my view wraps are the perfect lunch and the perfect light meal, they always go well down with dinner guests and each and every time I serve them I get asked for the recipe.
