BBQ Season!

Well, it seems the weather has finally held out long enough for the men to whip out their gear – BBQ gear that is! With all that testosterone flying about, its no wonder we ladies prefer the quiet sanctuary of the cool umbrella shade, sitting around the table just catching up and sipping on our long, cold drinks.

Now what would two veg*an girls possibly enjoy at a BBQ, I hear you ask. To that I would reply, the world is our oyster, or would that be our tofu…..?!


Where to start? Salad always goes down well and I do love my secret recipe potato salad made with egg free salad cream and onions with the addition of my ‘secret ingredient’ to finish it off. A well constructed green salad filled to the brim with loads of different flavours and textures like avocado, bean sprouts, olives and cherry tomatoes finished off with fresh crisp lettuce really tantalises our taste buds!

For those veg*an’s who like something a little more substantial, wrap a pierced potato smothered in olive oil & garlic cloves in foil and place it within the belly of the fire, thus producing a delicious tasty feast by the time all the BBQ-ing is done. In addition, I would suggest using the same method on a few portobello mushrooms smothered with vegetable spread, minced garlic and a sprinkling of herbs & spices for extra flavour. These of course can be slapped onto a bread roll for that ‘burger effect’ or eaten just like that, whichever way you prefer them!

Of course, nobody is stopping you from buying a few veggie burgers or sausages to place on the grill itself. However, with all those bits of meat flying about coupled with the high testosterone levels, who knows how veg*an your veggie bits will be by the end of it?!?!

Enjoy the rest of the BBQ season and bon appetite, whichever way you prefer to have it!


Veg*an – this could mean vegetarian or vegan.
