The dog days of August are almost behind us and, as much we don’t want to think about it, summer is coming to an end. Labor Day is coming up, and soon boats and lawn furniture will start to be stored away. However, there’s still time for outdoor cooking (and, of course, many more months depending on where you live). Being vegan and hosting or attending barbecues doesn’t mean you have…
Very funny (silly) indeed! Postmarked 1934. Père “Judognon” understood the importance of self-promotion for restaurant owners & business owners. There was no HappyCow in the 1930s to help restaurateurs to get ‘bums on seats’. We cannot trace the restaurant now – if anyone has any information about it, please share it with us. We are sure that some folk had ‘uplifting meals’ there in the 1930s! Très drôle en effet!…

It’s a region in Spain well known for tapas (small plates of food) which mainly consist of pork, beef, eggs, or some other animal based product. No need to skip Andalucia though. With a bit of research and planning you won’t starve. Plus there’s always Sangria…which does have fruit in…
My dogs love sweet potato chews. These chews are a cinch to make, and more economical and healthier than a store bought brand. You have control over what goes into the recipe, what doesn’t go into the recipe, and the quality of the ingredients. Try and make these on a day when you will be home for a few hours in the morning, or in the evening a few hours before…

Hummus is a delicious plant-based dip that first emerged from the middle east. With growing awareness of health and wellness it has rapidly gained popularity in other parts of the world too, (especially in our house!). In addition to regular hummus ingredients, my variation of the traditional version, brings in the tantalising sweetness of roasted sweet pepper. It gives an awesome combination of beneficial nutrients too… Sesame seeds (pureed –…
Nothing quite says Peru like ceviche. It’s quite common for Peruvians to eat ceviche for lunch on a hot day at the beach. So what is ceviche? Wikipedia describes ceviche as “a seafood dish popular in the coastal regions of the Americas, especially Central and South America. The dish is typically made from fresh raw fish cured in citrus juices, such as lemon or lime, and spiced with aji or chili peppers.”…
Dr. Ellsworth Wareham ~ As a middle-aged man, Wareham spent a lot of time in the operating room cutting into one patient after another who had heart problems. There, he noticed something: patients who were vegetarian mostly had much cleaner and smoother arteries than those who ate meat. The arteries of meat-eaters tended to be full of calcium and plaque. So he made a choice. He decided to become a…
