Why this blog?

First and foremost I'm not 'a vegan' I do love vegan food, I do aim for around 90% of my diet to be vegan. However I do wear leather, knit with wool, and take local honey to prevent hayfever.

From time to time I also eat meat, and don't feel guilty about it. I have nothing but respect for those who live the full vegan lifestyle, but that's not me. My predominant reason for eating 'veganly' is health benefits, many of which I hope to highlight throughout this blog.

The Soya free comes from my youngest grandson who is allergic to egg and dairy, and also soya, so vegan recipes without soya are ideal for him (although he is also a meat eater). It occurred to me that many others, including some vegans must also have a soya allergy, and with soya being such a big substitute for dairy, I have set about gathering as many recipes which cover this as possible.

The recipes on this blog will all be meat free, dairy free, egg free, and soya free. I hope it can be of some use to you and us alike!

Roast Summer veg with chick peas

Tonight's dinner






There's no real way of making this look pwerdy, but it sure tasted it!

I changed it around a bit to the recipe here using different colour peppers. The corriander seends gave it an extra dimension.

Don't think there will be much left for hubby to take to work for lunch this time! Didn't go down to well with my veg hating 12 year old daughter though! Oh well you can't win em all!

Mushroom and Potato curry
Also containing onion and aubergine.

This was last night's dinner, and very yummy it was too!

Also hubby's lunch for today - he liked it so much.

It was very easy to make following this recipe from BBC food
