First off, we call cilantro coriander in Australia.
One of the things I am realising about going down the vegan path is that I need to be organised and pretty much need to be able to cook my own food. Vegan pre-made packaged food sucks in my opinion and the cafes/restaurants in Sydney that cater to vegans aren't much better either. I really do miss New York for the abundance of good vegan food when out and about.
But last Friday, I had brekky with my beautiful yoga teacher (ST) at the vegan cafe within the studio - Earth Vegan Cafe. This cafe is actually pretty good in terms of vegan fare so if you're in the area, check them out! We had rye toast with avocado and pesto and I was in heaven. So this morning, I was on a mission to make my own pesto and try this at home. Success and it was so delish! I won't post the recipe but you can grab it from Veganomicon, one of my favourite vegan recipe books definitely worth the investment.

Yum, I totally want to try that. I really love avocado and vegemite toast (is vegemite vegan?) but pesto sounds pretty awesome too :)
I made pesto today too! Spinach, rocket and basil. So good and so easy to make at home.
You need to come over here baby, there's loads of great vegan stuff!! xx
Haha Lucinda, it took me a while to finally google cilantro to realise what it was!
Kathryn, vegemite is vegan but I've never liked the stuff. Having said that though, maybe I should give it a go with avocado! Buying a small jar can't hurt.
Mmm Phil, adding rocket would be delish too. So quick and easy. It's one of those things I always wanted to make. Definitely going to visit the UK once I get the first part of my qualification over with. Need the $$$.
oh yowza, that looks amazing! hugs!!
