Broccoli clouds

Listening to- The Camel Song by Bo Diddley Squat

Do you know... I can't get enough of vegetarian food. It is so much more gratifying to make an amazing vegetarian meal then to fry a lump of meat and call it dinner.

My favourite vegetarian/ vegan restaurants would have to be Inspiral Camden, Sky Apple Heaton and Antonias Organic Kitchen in Barcelona. I'm awaiting my visits to Earth Cafe Marrakesh/ Essouaeira, Vegetalia, Self Naturista and Juicy Jones in Barcelona.

And every one of them seems to have the right idea.... Bundle a gazillion different little flavours onto a plate at once, almost like tapas and drizzle some kind of pesto-y hummous-y seed thing ontop. Excellent.

This is why I love it......

 Some kind of lovely sweet potato, roasted onion and feta quesadilla thing with paella- I don't remember exactly- La Boqueria market Barcelona

My Lunch today... Seared broccolli sprouts with goji berries and linseeds, toasted spelt focaccia with guacamole cream, griddled butternut squash, mozarella and olive oil. and A spinach salad With hummous drizzle, goats cheese and dried cranberries. Where else is it acceptable to combine this many different things on a plate....?

And for desert, strawberry bakewell :D not vegan, but not bad ...

Oh which reminds me, I came across a total Heston Blumenthal-ism yesterday at Sky Apple, having a chilled out snack with my dad.... "Little Weed Tiramisu" which came in a plant pot with some kind of tofu cream and an oreo soil layer, complete with edible pebble and flower. My face looked totally delighted when it came to the table as you can imagine.
