About Me

Here at Sensei Cooks I write about my adventures in the kitchen and sometimes in the dojo.

I have a love for cooking and want to explore all the possible facets of it. Leave no stone unturned so to speak.

I am Vegan and love all types of vegan cooking.

I love the process of cooking. Being in the moment. Sort of Zen and the Art of Cooking.

Pennsylvania Dutch Style Chicken Pot Pie

I really enjoy being vegan and not buying, handling or cooking meat but every once in a while Belle asks for a steak, salmon or chicken. One of her favourite meals is Roast Chicken which I made the other day and will post it very soon. In the mean time one of her American friends [...]

Ravioli Without Borders

This was a fun recipe and really could be very quick and easy. The idea is to use wonton wrappers instead of pasta, this makes it very easy to put together. I wanted to make the home-made Vegan pasta but decided to try this as I have also read this same idea in Jamie Oliver’s [...]

Vegan Home-Made Pasta

Well I said yesterday I should make some Vegan home-made pasta and so this morning I did. Not bad at all. It was easy to make and tastes great. Dylan said it tastes the same as the egg pasta I usually made. I put everything in the food processor out of habit but I am [...]

Lasagna Primavera

Here is a wonderful pasta dish that Hayley and I really like. It is easy to make and there is lots of room for your own variation with the types of vegetables you use. I would like to make this with home-made pasta as I do for my non-vegan lasagnas but I haven’t [...]

Proper Blokes Sausage Fusilli

As you know I have decided to be vegan along with my daughter. Belle has been wonderful about it and never complains about missing meat. I do tend to make something meaty for her every once in a while though. We are all very surprised at how wonderfully delicious all these vegan recipes have been. [...]

Pasta and Cheddar Cheese Sauce

I have found myself starting to make recipes I have already blogged about. I need to break out of my safety zone and go crazy. Well actually we have been trying to work through our freezers and fridges so I end up making things that I know because we have the same ingredients. We have [...]

Lasagne alla Cacciatora (Hunter's Lasagne)

One of my favourite meals to make is Jamie Oliver’s Lasagne alla Cacciatora (Hunter’s Lasagne) and I make it quite often. It takes quite a while to make but the process is a lot of fun and actually quite relaxing. With Hayley being a vegetarian it means I have to also make something else with [...]

Jamie’s Spaghetti All’Arrabiata

One of our all time favourite quick meals is Jamie’s Spaghetti All’Arrabiata. Now you can’t actually find this recipe on his web site. It was in a book called “My Last Supper” by Melanie Dunea. This is one of 50 different chefs giving what they would have for a last supper. We love it. Today [...]
