About Wednesday Food Blogging

  • Why Wednesday?
    On my main blog, I devoted Wednesday to posting food news and recipes, just like your local paper publishes food-related articles on Wednesday. But here you'll find food-related content posted on any day of the week.
  • What's your main blog?
    It's called What Do I Know? and in it I talk about my life here in England.
  • Recipe index
    Here you'll find over 100 recipes previously posted at WDIK.
  • Who are you, anyway?
    An American, living and eating in Britain. You can read more here.
  • So are you vegan?
    I try hard to be. There are still a few trace elements in my diet, I still wear wool, and when I eat out, I don't always ask if there's butter or egg in the pasta.
  • Where are the cows?
    Right here!

New! Exciting! Innovative! Or not.

I just updated the Recipe Index. There are now over 150 recipes listed, a dozen of which contain the word "chocolate". Seems balanced to me.

All are vegan, though one or two of the accompanying photos contain goat cheese, which my daughter hasn't yet weaned herself from. (Must be because we used to call her a kid!)

After all these years, my dishes are starting to seem boring to me. How many ways can you cook risotto, and is there any root, stalk, or leaf I haven't tossed in there? And what's with all those soups? Is that a reflection on the weather here, or am I just too lazy to clean more than one pot? (Yes, to both.)

I think the problem is I've lived here too long. Every food magazine I pick up has the same recycled recipes, nothing new or innovative. Restaurants here are sorely lacking in innovation as well, at least when it comes to the vegetarian side of the menu. There's a new Indian restaurant in town that's supposed to be good, so maybe I'll gather my pounds and try it soon.

I'm also due for a trip across the Channel, specifically to The Netherlands toward the end of the month. Anyone know a good Dutch veggie place?

Hmmm...Dutch food. Now that could be exciting!

A new weblog!

This will be where I keep my recipes and other food-related posts. Check back every Wednesday (or maybe more often) for more!

The photo, by the way, was taken two years ago at Borough Market in London. Bread, the stuff of life, you know.

Good Stuff
