Chris, who runs the blog with her husband Harald, gives us a taste of her work.

Vegalicious is a website created by my husband and myself. We have an organic allotment garden, which contributes much of what we eat throughout the year. The recipes alternate between soups, salads, side dishes, main meals and desserts, interrupted with breads, muffins, waffles or pancakes as Sunday breakfast treats.

We like to think of Vegalicious as a celebration of life. It begins in the garden, choosing what vegetables and fruits we enjoy eating. Having some delicious recipes in mind gives me ideas of what seeds I want to order and plant in the spring.

I am looking forward to making and serving broad beans, peas and spinach early in the spring. In the summer we enjoy the bounty of green beans, zucchini and corn. When the leaves start dropping, we are awaiting the first pumpkins for our favorite soup recipes. These pumpkins also provide fresh food throughout the winter. I choose good hearty vegetables that can withstand our cold and wet winter, yet still provide healthy meals on our table. The kitchen scraps go into the compost bins to recreate healthy soil and complete the cycle of life.

What we eat affects our health, emotionally as well as physically.
Eating meals involves most of our senses and therefore fresh and health food from our own garden, carefully prepared and well presented makes a great difference.

A balanced diet should include grains, legumes, vegetables, fruits and nuts. We have found that having a variety of delicious tasting meals makes a big difference. Although we have chosen a vegan lifestyle, anyone can enjoy our recipes.
