Hello.
Here’s the latest in the blog roll. This is very do-able in terms of recipes. I love having the time and mobility to do theses tings but the best bit is being able to pass it on. If you’re a committed carnivore you won’t even notice the lack of meat. It’s the thirf time I’ve done it so it shows it can be done. As with everything for us, it needs some planning but my last effort was quite spontaneous.
Best wishes, Steve
They sound fantastic Steve, Lee does most of the cooking or if he’s working its often from a jar…very sad i used to bake, i still make cake occasionally, and i always made gingerbread men with the children, we always gave them jelly tot eyes but i don’t have the energy like i used to and its all the washing up.

Steve,
I am fond of Falafels but have never attempted to make them myself; I will give this a try sometime soon.
As a dessert or something to accompany afternoon tea, I can offer the following. It is not my own recipe but comes from Sarah Brown’s Vegetarian Cookbook. Her books are full of wholesome recipes.
I chose this one as it is relatively easy ie, chuck everything in a bowl and mix. The tricky bit could be mashing up the bananas. At the moment I am able to do that myself and I do not know how bananas respond to pummeling in a foodprocesssor.
INGREDIENTS
BANANAS 1lb (IF SHORT OF BANANAS SUPPLEMENT WITH APPLE)
RAISINS 4oz (JUMBO RAISINS IF POSSIBLE)
CHOPPED CASHEWS 2oz
WHOLEMEAL SELF RAISING FLOUR 5oz
ROLLED OATS 3oz
OIL 4fl oz (COLD PRESSED RAPESEED OR EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL)
ALMOND ESSENCE ½ teaspoon
PINCH OF SALT
METHOD
MASH THE BANANAS BY WHATEVER METHOD YOU PREFER. THIS IS THE MOST DIFFICULT PART OF THE OPERATION.
MIX ALL THE INGREDIENTS TOGETHER.
POUR INTO A GREASED AND LINED LOAF TIN.
COOK FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AT 180 DEGREES. I USE A FAN OVEN SO YOU MAY HAVE TO INCREASE THE TEMPERATURE TO 190 DEGREES FOR A CONVENTIONAL OVEN.
Goes well with a nice cup of redbush tea.
Best wishes
Alun
I had a quick look, my clumsiness messed up my love of baking… I loved making bread but I have to admit to only making falafels with a packet mix. I never got to making pitta breads but it was on my to-do list, I had a recipe in one of my Lorraine Pascale books
Nice to hear you enjoy it, pic looks good
