Posted on October 29, 2018 by Q the Intern in vegetarian
Meatless Monday: it’s one of my favourite days, and some of my favourite recipes of Nina’s are in fact, meatless. But, before we get into the swing of things, I think I should open with a disclaimer and introduce myself. Hi to all of Nina’s regular readers, my name is ‘Q the Intern’ and I […]
Easy Cheese Fondue with Tempura Broccoli
Posted on June 18, 2018 by nerinatimm in cheese, Uncategorized
This easy Cheese fondue is such a vast improvement on my early experiences with fondue that it is hard to even find one comparison.

Posted on May 21, 2018 by nerinatimm in soups, vegetarian
Spinach Soup to combat the cold weather. Not really combat, we need the cold and rainy weather desperately, but you know what I mean. Spinach Soup is like a Vitamin Boost, just goodness, nothing more. The Vitamin Boosts I’ve had in the past, does not taste half as good as this soup though. I like […]

Posted on May 16, 2018 by nerinatimm in vegetables
Miso Caramel Carrots – I am sure my dad will give me grief about this. It was so delcious though, he might even approve. Miso Caramel Carrots are just carrots with a sweet/salty taste.

Posted on August 30, 2017 by nerinatimm in cheese, vegetarian
Stuffed Baked Potatoes – Oh my weak heart! I love, love, love Stuffed Baked Potatoes! Sometimes the stuffing can be as simple as melted butter, salt and pepper, or sometimes rather decadent. There is just something about a baked potato that I can’t explain. Even if I make gnocchi, I prefer baking the potatoes and […]
Veggie Burgers – no meat does not mean no flavor!
Posted on August 29, 2017 by nerinatimm in vegetables, vegetarian
Veggie Burgers, kind of a contradiction, because we always associate burgers with beef, pork or lamb. These Veggie Burgers could stand tall next to any of the above meaty burgers. It is packed with crunch, flavor and not only is a delicious, but it is much cheaper than meat. You can chop and change the […]
