The obligatory Vegan MoFo post


It's that time of year again – yep, MoFo is back. Let the blogging frenzy commence.

For my theme this year, I'll be cooking (and veganising) English food.

Despite being English, I don't really cook much 'English' food – I'd much rather cook up a bit of Japanese or Mexican.  It's time to change all that, and rediscover my food roots!

Making dishes from your own country might seem a massive stretch, but English food has traditionally been unappetising, heavy and very definitely vegan-unfriendly. Think lots of meat, lots of heavy desserts, and if vegetables do figure anywhere, they're traditionally boiled til they beg for mercy and relieve themselves of any trace nutrients.

So, for this month, I'll be making vegan versions of old favourites I loved as a kid, regional treats from around the country, and proper ye olde recipes that I'd never heard of before.

Wish me luck - all suggestions of what to cook welcome!

  13. Your blog title made me chortle when I saw it in the MoFo blogroll! I'm always interested in seeing vegan takes on Yorkshire puddings, if you're looking for more suggestions.

  14. What a great idea for a theme :) I'm English too but live in Scotland these days.

    English dishes which spring to mind: roast dinner, Yorkshire puddings, fish and chips, pies/pasties, trifle.

    Good luck with it :)
