Book preview

This cookbook is a collection of food I mainly ate in my younger years (1970s and 80s). I have made the recipes to reflect that I was a vegetarian. You can easily replace beans, lentils, etc. with the protein of your choice. Or add to the existing recipe. The recipes are cheap, healthy, storable, and easy to make, with easy-to-get ingredients. Beans and lentils are a good alternative source of protein. They are easier to store than meat, healthier than meat, and much cheaper. Most of them can be eaten as leftovers for a few days and as school lunches the next day. Many of the recipes would help balance the junk food given to children on their birthdays. My kids loved spinach pie and lasagna, etc.

Oats, Berries, and Yogurt

Make these fruity, creamy oats the night before using a mixture of berries you have at hand and in the morning, you've got a quick, fresh, and yummy breakfast.

½ cup Quaker® Oats (Quick or Old Fashioned, uncooked)

½ cup non-fat milk

½ cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt

1 teaspoon chia seeds (Optional)

1 cup fresh mixed berries and fruit

Add Quaker® Oats to your container of choice and pour in milk. Layer Greek yogurt, chia seeds and mixed fruit and berries. Refrigerate overnight and enjoy in the morning. Serves 1

Baked Beans, Sourdough, Olive Oil and Chili

I make this with Australian baked beans (not too soggy), cold pressed olive oil and either fresh or dried chili on sourdough toast. If you can’t get sourdough any wholegrain bread will do it.

1 can of baked beans

4 thick slices of sourdough or wholegrain bread

1 tbs of olive oil

1 fresh chili finely chopped or a pinch of dried chili flakes

Open a can of beans, put them in a pot, and bring to a simmer. At the same time toast 4 slices of bread. Place 2 slices of toast each on 2 plates. Spoon half the baked beans per plate. Drizzle the olive oil over the beans, around 1 tsp each, sprinkle with the fresh or dried chili. I normally don’t butter the toast; this one is up to you.

Fruit Salad and Yoghurt

This recipe celebrates the bounty that nature provides us. It is good to use freshly picked organic fruit in season. The more fruit available, the more options you have, to mix it up. Fruit is already loaded with sugar so I recommend a natural plain yogurt. Fruit is full of vitamins and yogurt is a good source of calcium and probiotics—gut friendly.

2 cups of different kinds of chopped fruit

1 cup of grass-fed plain yoghurt

Collect your fruit from nearby trees or your fruit bowl in the kitchen and cut up 1"’ squares, around 2 cups of fruit. Place in two bowls and top with yogurt.

Chapatis

I eat chapatis every day with fried egg, mashed avocado, fried tomatoes, sardines, tofu, peppers, and lettuce. It is the cheapest and easiest way to eat.

Chapati

1 kg packet of rye, wheat, wholewheat, nut flower. I use normal white flower.

1 small packet of dry yeast

1 mug of warm water

1 tablespoon of sugar

1 teaspoon of salt

Optional Fillings

1 avocado

3 ripe tomatoes

1 small can of sardines

Some crispy fried tofu

2 eggs

¼ of a lettuce

tomato sauce

mayonnaise

Chapatis

Put a mug of warm water in a large mixing bowl add the yeast and sugar and stir with a wooden spoon. Wait for 5 minutes for it to bubble. Add ½ a packet of flour and stir with a spoon, add the other half while leaving a handful in the bag for kneading the flour. If it is too dry ad some more water if it is too wet add some flour left over in the bag. Knead
