    Recipe Blue Poppy Seed Cake

    For once, I can actually provide a reference. We have adapted this cake to make it dairy free, from the Vegetarian Kitchen by Sarah Brown. Our copy is dated as a first reprint in 1984. It is one of those books that 'walked' when I left for university. It had been my parents attempt at adapting...

    Recipe Baked Walnut & Poppy Seed Dumplings with Béchamel

    The original version of this recipe used cheddar cheese, specifically stating vegetarian cheese so I suspect that it may have came from a vegetarian magazine but I can't be sure. I do know that the format is wrong for the BBC Vegetarian Good food magazine (long since died a death sadly), so I...

    Recipe Everything but the bagel seasoning

    Probably a familiar spice mix to the Americans here, but one that's completely unknown where I live. It's not for sale anywhere, so I make my own. Because it makes just about any cheese sandwich or bread better. This is my take on it. What you need: 3 tablespoons white sesameseeds 3 tablespoons...

    Recipe Pilau with Cumin & Lime Leaves

    A pilau is a very versatile dish - and this one is no exception. Cumin, poppy seeds and lime leaves add a breadth of flavour here - add chopped chillies, cooked vegetables, fish, chicken or meat as you wish towards the end of cooking. I added some left over chicken from Chicken Fillets with...

    Recipe Poppy Seed Strudel

    I wasn't going to post this because frankly, it went rather wrong. I think I possibly used too much filling so it oozed out and also made the middle rather soggy. Anyway, as I took the photos I thought I'd post it anyway in case anyone cares to have a go at improving on it. Ingredients 5...
