Lustrous Musings: Hummus Bros (Holborn, London)
http://lustrousmusings.blogspot.com/2014/02/hummus-bros-holborn-london.html
Restaurant and Cafe Reviews. Vegan food, cocktails and various ramblings from a UK blogger. Hummus Bros (Holborn, London). I've been subconsciously avoiding Hummus Bros since it opened. Not because I don't like hummus (I do), but because I eat enough of it already - both at home with decent bread (ciabtta, focaccia, pitta etc) and as the staple "I'm desperate" option with a pack of long life pitta - two things I'm sure to find in the middle of nowhere's village shop. Their toppings include omni items - t...

Lustrous Musings: Amico Bio (Holborn, London)
http://lustrousmusings.blogspot.com/2014/01/amico-bio-holborn-london.html
Restaurant and Cafe Reviews. Vegan food, cocktails and various ramblings from a UK blogger. Amico Bio (Holborn, London). As if one mediocre Italian restaurant wasn't enough, last year a 2nd branch of Amico Bio popped up on New Oxford Street (half way between Holborn and Tottenham Court Road tubes). What was supposed to be "Potato gnocchi with aubergines and rice milk mozzarella" was like eating glue. It had next to no flavour, other than the harsh taste of herbs. Second course tasted alright:. Dessert of...

Lustrous Musings: Basilico (Limehouse, London)
http://lustrousmusings.blogspot.com/2014/01/basilico-limehouse-london.html
Restaurant and Cafe Reviews. Vegan food, cocktails and various ramblings from a UK blogger. Basilico (Limehouse, London). 18" wood fired vegan pizza? Basilico's a chain of non-vegetarian pizza delivery shops across London. They've 2 vegan options marked on their menu - a margarita and a roasted vegetable pizza (we opted for the latter). The base was fantastic; actual glutenous Italian bread with great flavour. The toppings were fairly generous, though not as generous (or adventurous) as Mr Singh's. Basil...

maple•spice: Carrot Cake Pancakes
http://www.maplespice.com/2011/02/carrot-cake-pancakes.html
Friday, 25 February 2011. I have Isa Chandra Moskowitz to blame for this latest addiction. I follow her on twitter. And she tweeted about 'carrot cake pancakes' - complete with link to the ppk recipe. We've only been having pancakes every weekend since becoming vegan.well, expect a 'Back to Basics' Pancake post soon! Update: here is the recipe for my basic pancakes. Anyway, these turned out sublimely good, taste just like carrot cake and just like, well, pancakes - go figure! Yields about 15 pancakes.

Lustrous Musings: June 2013
http://lustrousmusings.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Restaurant and Cafe Reviews. Vegan food, cocktails and various ramblings from a UK blogger. Since we last spoke. I've been somewhat busy - in a good way of course. As usual a break in posting means that life has been too hectic, rather than not hectic enough :). A lot has happened in the past 10 months, including marriage. And extensive travel in the US, UK and Ireland - eating in some of the world's best v*gan restaurants in the process. It's fair to say that life is going very well indeed.

Lustrous Musings: September 2012
http://lustrousmusings.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Restaurant and Cafe Reviews. Vegan food, cocktails and various ramblings from a UK blogger. The Gate (Islington, London). Although The Gate's been around as long as I can remember, its infamous status amongst vegans (lack of options) and location out in the sticks (Zone 2! Have kept me from trying. The menu on their website's done nothing to make vegans think otherwise, although it's slightly more inviting than Vanilla Black's open policy of not catering for vegans at all without prior notice. The tortil...

maple•spice: Vegan & Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
http://www.maplespice.com/2015/05/vegan-gluten-free-peanut-butter.html
Monday, 18 May 2015. Vegan and Gluten-Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. Now you'll have to forgive me for posting almost the same recipe as my last post but I've developed a gluten-free version of the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. I am so happy with how these turned out, I suspect no one would guess these are vegan let alone gluten-free. Now I don't have a lot, or any, experience with gluten-free baking but hey - these worked! 8226; It's essential you use certified. It took seconds. ...
