Also known as strict vegetarian. Recipes marked as vegan contain no animal products of any kind – no eggs, dairy, honey or gelatine, and of course no meat.
I have wanted to try my hand at a checkerboard cake for ages, but have never quite gotten around to it. But every March, Andrew’s birthday comes around, which means that the search begins for a new variation on chocolate…
So that was a longer break than I had planned. Basically, I went back to work, where there were grants, organising our participation in Midsumma, and the aftermath of the restructure – I have lost six labs and gained six…
I’ve been wanting to try out Xenia for months, ever since I went looking for a place for a work function in East Brunswick that could 1) seat 50+ people 2) several of whom were vegan and 3) several more…
