Cornucopia Whole food vegetarian restaurant.

I have been wanting to go here for a long long time but never quite made it there. To many people are afraid of veg food.
Jesse got me the cookbook and all for Christmas.
My mum said she would go with me so we headed into town on the dart. Ended up spending money on clothes and then headed for lunch.

I got a sweet potato and  tofu curry. I forgot to double check what it was called before I left.
My first choice was the vegan garlic mayo potato salad, so yum!
My second choice was a chickpea one with rocket and roast aubergine among other stuff that was in it.

What the best thing about eating in a vegetarian restaurant is not having to worry about if my food could of possibly been cooked along side meat or been made dodgy. It was great for a change to not have to be thinking about what is going on in the kitchen for once!

I forgot my camera so all I have are low quality phone pictures! 





And my mum got a filo pastry broccoli bake.

You are given a serious amount of food for your money, which I couldn't finish. They have takeaway boxes up at the till, so I filled one up with my leftovers for dinner! Getting my moneys worth.

I need to try all the rest of the vegetarian restaurants in Dublin!

4 layer berry cake/Chocolate and strawberry cupcakes and otherrrr

My aunt gave me a few recipe magazines while I was in Cork. There was a recipe for a 4 layer cake with raspberry icing.

The cake mixture was odd. It consisted of a lot of egg whites, icing sugar, a small bit of flour and baking powder! I made 2 cakes and you cut it in half.

I made Strawberry, Raspberry and Blackberry icing. :)

It came out well.

I decorated the top with Raspberries from my back garden.

And chocolate cupcakes with strawberries on top. I liked these a lot.

recent eatings

Pasta bake attempt no.2. This time bigger, chunkier roasted vegetables. It was good.

I got a icing 'syringe' yesterday in meadows and byrne. Is easier to use compared to a piping bag. It came with a few nozzels so I tried a few out. Most of them didn't work out cause the icing wasn't thick enough.

I made this once before and it was a lot nicer the first time. It's roasted sweet potato in a large vol au vont case with cheese on top. I mash the sweet potato and add a variety of other things. I use ricotta in it but didn't have any. I used cream. Mistake.

A varity of things fucked onto my plate in wexford. Roll with quorn sausage and salad. Shit waffle and let over pasta.

Our supermarket trip. We bought a fair amount thinking it would do us for the night but how wrong we were.

Last Sundays lunch in the market in the park. There is a vegetarian stand. Some guy sells curries and Indian type food. I got a samosa and a kofta. I enjoyed it lots and will be going back. I am sick of getting falafels.

Pasta Bake attempt no.1

I had never made pasta bake before. It is def one of the of easiest things to make but I made some anyway for a carb overload.

I first roasted off some veg including peppers, onions, butternut squash, courgettes and I can't remember what else. I also boiled some broccoli. I may of put other stuff in but I can't remember.

Cheese and bread crumbs on top and voillla! I put it under the grill for a minute to and made a lovellllyyy cheese layer.

What I ate in Paris

We decided to have out lunch on the boat ride along the Seine. I had some pretty shitty roll. They have no sauce or nothing in them.

When we were up at the Eiffel tower we went to get dinner. We walked and walked by many restaurnts all with similar menus. They all had foie gras and shit on it so we didn't wanna eat there. We finally found a place that did pizza and pasta etc. They gave us an english menu that was highly entertaining. It had items on it such as 'Soup has the onion browned' and dishes with 'the coriander and the parsley'. There was other hilarious stuff.

Mini donuts and mini chocolate croissants.

Ok this looks a little dodge. It was originally a waffle with ice cream and chocolate sauce on top but Alisha didn't want the end of her brownie and ice cream so she dumped it on top of mine. Was pretty good. It is from hagen dazzzzz. We sat in a park and ate.

What Jesse and Alisha got from Hagen Dazz. Raspberry sorbet is good.

As are Raspberry meringues. This is to delish. Wish I bought one.

One morning we got breakfast in a bakery down the road and went and ate it in the Luxembourg gardens. Fatty Breakfast.

I got a chocolate croissant and a brioche thing, I think.

AND some delish pizza. Pizza for breakfast is something I should do every morning.

Jesse and I got some Lemon and Raspberry Sorbet one night. Lemon was to Lemon but raspberry was good.

Ice cream selections.

We ate in Milanos the first night in St.Germaine. It was amazing. Beyond delish. We around 30 dough balls between us. Carbolicious.

This was mozzarella bread. It was so moist and doughy.

I just got pasta and sauce but it was some of the best sauce I have ever had.

Another Bakery!

I got a cookie thing that prettty much just tasted like butter. Jesse got a chocolate filled eclaire. And alisha, a choc cross.

nom

We ate in some bar place down from our hotel. We met one of the nicer french people there.

They got omletes.

I got a baguette with just salad. Pretty boring.

We ate plenty of other stuff too!

Go to Paris!
