Return of the wanderer

I've been AWOL, missing in action, lost at sea, any number of clichéd euphemisms for simply not being around but I thought with the new year just about to start it might be the right time to revamp the old place and make a fresh start with cooking in public.

A quick flick through the photo archives reveals almost no pictures of prepared food at all, as if food and I have been having a trial separation. We haven't but clearly my heart has been elsewhere.

For the moment all the old entries have been placed in limbo to be reviewed and republished if I feel they have enough merit and since this is a new year the resolution is to make at least one original posting a week. We'll see how it goes but I think I'm glad to be back.

Vegan in Normandy

I've decided to renovate this old blog and turn it into a food diary and review of vegan cooking and eating in France.

This is mainly because living here on my own I find it hard to persuade myself to do much more in the way of food than cook boiled rice. Since there is no brown rice available this is not the macrobiotic marvel one might hope for, in fact it's shit.

There are vegan foods here and I can cook, actually. So maybe keeping a record will stop me dying of malnutrition. Let's hope so.
