Well, Italy is out of the World Cup, and I am just glad that I didn't get up at 4 am to watch it happen! But before the games started the four members of our family picked another nation to support (random, out of a hat) and I got Mexico! You had to dress...

How to be a vegetarian in Japan -

Alessandra Zecchini 02/02/13 09:22
How easy (or difficult) is it to be a vegetarian in Japan? When I was young and living there (many years ago now - all will be revealed at the end of the story!) it was easy because I cooked most of my own food at home, and there are many great vegetarian...

Alessandra Zecchini 08/05/12 11:03
In my opinion a Vegetarian Guide to Sydney could start and finish here, at Bodhi, so I will put it first, just in case you have no time to read the rest! I have a Vegetarian friend who comes to Sydney a lot and tells me that she always come here for lunch,...

I love nashi pears, pity that the season is short... mostly I eat them raw, cut into thin slices, but since I had quite a few I wanted to make a quick tart. This is too easy! I just used one sheet of ready rolled vegetarian puff pastry, then I peeled and...

A Vegetarian in Niue -

Alessandra Zecchini 08/07/11 07:39
Sometimes it is hard to be a Vegetarian when traveling in the Pacific: the island diet is very much based on fish, and meat. When we went to Rarotonga we rented a guesthouse with a kitchen, and that was a great idea: we could take our dry food, and buy...
