Chickpeas and mushrooms have complimentary earthy flavours. Add some spices and finish with some fresh tomatoes to make this easy vegan curry. This dish is low fat and low calorie, if you are caring about such things. Serve with rice. I used brown chickpeas but any sort will be fine.

There was a time, about 10-15 years ago, when "shots" became a favourite amuse-bouche in Caracas parties and weddings. This recipe, which is generally served as a soup, with chunks of vegetables in it, was one of those "shots". Once the soup was ready, I'd just blend it and decorate the top with...
Wanting to try new things, especially vegetarian food as I am trying to switch to an 80% plant based diet due to science telling us that's the healthiest way to live; I stumbled upon this recipe. Now this is very rich and not quite a meal those same scientists would recommend for health, but...

I don't buy tomato soup in a can, I find it awful. We'd have to eat it when we were sick as kids and that's the only time I've ever had it. Now with my tomato plants churning them out I figure I'd make some.

Not much to it - tomato paste and water in 1:3 ratio. TBH I hardly do this now, I just use tomato paste directly from the tube into the pan and then add a a bit of water. The curry is reduced down anyway. You can use fresh or canned...

The pot used for this is a 3 legged cast iron pot and cooking takes place over charcoal or wood fire.

Obviously it will also work on the stove and probably in the oven. And with some adjustments in a pressure cooker.

Ground coriander seed, coriander leaves (cilantro) and clementine add a delicate aromatic flavour to this simple salad. You could substitute a different type of bean but I think the firm texture and nutty, earthy flavour of black eyed beans works well here.
