Exotic Dining: Marigolds

Marigolds add some 'kick' to desserts and salads. Photo: SG

Just the other day, I was watching TLC when they ran a commercial for "Dining With Death", a new reality series on 'exotic dining' the channel is promoting locally. Needless to say I went a bit white about the lips at some of the things people were popping into their mouths. But the commercial got me thinking, why is it that 'exotic foods' almost always refers to the slaughtering of some kind of animal? Why should vegetarians be relegated to boring meals because their diet is less glamorous in the media's eyes? 

Classic Vegetarian Quotes Pt. 2

Earlier this year, I posted a selection of my favourite classic vegetarian quotes. A number of readers expressed how much they enjoyed the post and so for them, today I'm adding a couple more for your reading pleasure :)

Savoury Bread Pudding Casserole

Although I consider myself somewhat of a 'rice person', on some days it is simply too hot to eat rice, curry and Indian-style vegetable dishes. All I want is lots of water to drink and salads at every meal. Today was especially hot, so my mum took over lunch- we had multi-grain rice, with steamed spinach and sesame tofu as side dishes. And since it was my turn to cook dinner, I took the easy route: a one-dish meal.

Vegetarian Ethics....From The Other Side

I've recently taken to watching old Mitchell and Webb skits online, having run out of Catherine Tate and GGM (Goodness Gracious Me) clips to watch. This one was so appallingly funny, I couldn't resist sharing it, LOL!

Veggie Delights in Singapore

Bustling Singapore is now home to varied, cosmopolitan vegetarian cuisine.

I've been mulling over a pre-Christmas weekend getaway in Singapore, but the thought of eating out for a couple of days in a row is not appealing to me. I've been spoiled for far too long with home-cooked food (some of it made by my own hands), the prospects of eating out while on holiday is almost repulsive. The nice thing about home is that food is familiar, more so for vegetarians like myself who have limited places to eat--usually an Indian or Chinese vegetarian restaurant.
