Outside Cafe - Hathersage

We've recently got a car which has opened up a world of travel around the Peak District and neighbouring Yorkshire! Our first weekend tip out was to the Outside Cafe in Hathersage. Outside is a big outdoors shop which has a cafe upstairs. It's popular with walkers, climbers and the odd tourist like us. They do simple dishes like breakfasts, sandwiches and baked potatoes and vegan options are cleared marked on the menu boards.


We went for a cafitiere of fresh coffee and the five and seven piece breakfast. You choose your items from the list on the board. We had the same with Matt getting extras of tomato and toast. The rest of the breakfast was a sausage, beans, mushrooms, hash browns and fried bread. I've not had fried bread since I've been vegan and I have to say it was the stand out of the meal, really tasty!


The total bill was around £16 including the drinks. They also had nice organic soya milk. I'm looking forward to more trips out like this to check out other breakfasts in the area!

    Sounds like I'll be there at some point. Yum. If you havrnt been to Padley Gorge in Hathersage you MUST go as it's soooooo stunning. The farthest side from the road is the best walk- straight out of Lord of the Rings it is. Glad you're zipping about :D

    I admit it without shame - I love a bit of fried bread with a breakfast. Too much is a bit sickly but a slice is perfect. Nice to see hash browns there too!

    I love fried bread!! I also love the idea of getting to pick & choose what you include in your breakfast.

Cola de Mono

Image
Colo de Mono (Tail of the Monkey) is a Chilean concoction traditionally drunk ice cold at Christmastime. Obviously their winters are a lot warmer than ours so in the UK it's more suited to this time of year. The Chileans use aguadiente an overproof cane spirit. I use Cachaca 51 which I have in for Mojitos and Caipirinhas. Traditionally made with cows milk, here is my vegan version. Colo De Mono Makes 1 pint Serves 4 2 cups of vanilla soy milk 1/3 cup of caster sugar 1/3 teaspoon of cinammon 3 teaspoons of instant coffee 1/2 cup of spirit* Bring the milk, sugar and cinnamon to a low boil in a pan stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Turn off the heat and stir in the coffee. Leave to cool. Once cool add the spirit and chill in the fridge. It will keep for 2 weeks. Serve over ice or straight up but make it cold. * Spirit - I use Cachaca but have heard that people use tequila too.

Interview With Lisa Goddard of Lily and Dilly

Image
If you've eaten vegan cake in Manchester City Centre in the last few years then chances are you'll have eaten cake baked by Lisa Goddard of bakery Lily and Dilly . We caught up with Lisa to find out what set her on the vegan baking path! So, Lily and Dilly? What made you set up as an independent bakery and where does the name come from? Having worked as a stop frame animator for 12 years, I was getting rather fed up with short term contracts, so the last time I was made redundant, I decided not to chase work round the country, and if that meant a career change, then so be it. A friend of mine had just set up The Cocoa Emporium as an independent Chocolatier, so I gave her a hand whilst navigating through the benefits system, mostly to get me out of bed on a morning! Doing baking for her farmers market was fun, as it was one of my main hobbies, so when she asked if I fancied getting a little shop  with her, it seemed a nice chance to start something new. We got the shop...

Growing your own, bargains and a breakfast recipe

I've started sprouting again! In my old flat I used to do sprouting all the time. The flat was in an old 1930's building and had radiators run from a central boiler room and it was always nice and warm. The constant warm temp made sprouting pretty fail safe. Now I'm in a Derbyshire stone house where it's not as warm the results haven't been as great and I gave up trying  but with this very hot summer we are having I thought I would give it another go and I'm glad I have done. As I already have the seeds it kind of feels like free food too! I'm using these sprouts  from A Vogel. This week I've grown alfalfa but pictured is my first attempt from the week before which was a mix of radish, lentil and rocket which grew into lovely peppery tasting sprouts that we used to garnish our bowl meals for the week. These took 4 days to grow and I nearly gave up on day 2 because I could see mold. Luckily I googled and found out that it wasn't mold at all but r...
