  A child’s first scribbling is something which it tries to express if you give a pencil in his hand. Drawing is relatively very simple and an easy skill and is something with which you can have great fun. It is also relatively not a very expensive hobby and can start with paper and a pencil. It can go on till acquiring costly pen and tablets – a computer hardware through which you can draw on your computer. It is very costly; however the precision for perfection is very high.   Unlike earlier days, getting information on drawing and sketching is very easy and inexpensive. You can search information on Google and get various sites which teach drawing. Also, nowadays this art form is liked by many youngsters. Like all other art forms, with constant and systematic practice one can become a great artist.   Listed below are few drawing tips which can help anyone improve their skill and become an artist. Reading and practicing these in your daily routine will improve your skill. 1. If you are drawing and you are right handed person, ensure that the light is from your left side. This will prevent your hand shadow falling on your paper. 2. First step when you practice drawing – you should practice drawing line, straight line, curved line, scribbled lines, and your hand should obey the command of your thoughts and visions. You should control your hand and you should be able to bring out what you want. 3. You should further develop drawing circles, oval shapes, crossed lines and bold and thick lines.

I've recently rediscovered salads. Gone are the days of a sad lettuce, tomato and cucumber concoctions - it's all about shredding, loud dressings, chunky nuts and nutritious seeds. Once you start experimenting there are a world of yummy combinations waiting to pass your lips....

Sesame seeds are a great source of Copper and Magnesium as well as Omega 6 fatty acids, proteins and fibre. They have a delicate nutty taste, are frequently used in Asian dishes and are probably best known for their part in sesame oil, halva and tahini. 

This recipe features lots of toasted sesame oil which I love because you get the full flavour of sesame in the salad without having to toast the sesame seeds; thus saving all those lovely proteins, metals and Omegas. Try it for yourself!

Hello all.

Things have been a bit on and off here at Vegetablah HQ. Life's been throwing curve balls from every direction. Thankfully today I've got a bit of time so I thought I'd let you know about this delight that I concocted a while ago. It was one of those magical cooking moments where you just sort of throw things together and manage to create a masterpiece (horn blown).

Before I started the burger patties, I put the vegetables in the roast, because to get the best of them, you want to do them for at least an hour so they get good and crispy. I also served this with gravy - but I'm going to leave that for a separate post because it's complex and gravy deserves to be singled out.

Also, these are really great just on their own with a big green salad and/or stuffed in a bun if you prefer something a bit less fried.

Volunteering at the Black Cat Cafe has been great for all sorts of reasons. Lovely people, great food, sunny atmosphere. I've also had the sincerest pleasure in working under Carolyn, Irish vegan chef extraordinaire! I've been learning quite a few things from her - including how to make my pancakes the fluffiest, softest most yummy pancakes of all time.

So I thought I'd share them with you - you're welcome :D

As I watched the red cabbages go into the bags yesterday at Crop Drop HQ, I realised that I had never once in my life made any kind of slaw. I felt instantly compelled to change it. So I went home and started looking up all the recipes I possibly could - there's a fair amount of variation but I really liked the idea of something crisp and citrus-y. My cogs began to whir.

Meanwhile, I was wondering about what to do with the celeriac. I've never actually eaten celeriac before and I was slightly concerned about whether or not I was going to enjoy it, given that I intensely dislike celery. I think my general train of thought was that if I didn't like the celeriac dish then at least I would have the slaw to eat. 

In a fortuitous turn of events, it turns out I frikkin' love celeriac and so ended up with what was a relatively simple and awesomely delicious dinner. The slaw was so easy it hurt.

Pictured here is the slaw along with a lentil and celeriac dish that I pinched from The Guardian (cheers guys!). It was a wonderful combination.

I've been eating this concoction virtually every morning for the past month. It just never seems to get boring. Luckily I am up to my ears in cheap bananas courtesy of the local farmer's market so I've been using them in all sorts of things - this is by far and away my favourite though.

I'm the kind of person that needs to fill up at breakfast since lunch is often an unspecified fleeting moment in between class and tearing my hair my out. Not only is this porridge completely guilt free, gluten free and moo free, it also enables me to stock up on my grains, fruit and Omegas for the day.
