The Little Coffee Company

I was on my way to Boho Gelato with the boyfriend when we spotted a possibly new or previously unnoticed coffee shop, The Little Coffee Company in Brighton. It had a large sign outside saying 'Vegetarian and Vegan Sandwiches'. Who can resist that?

The server said they were closing in 10 minutes which was a surprise at 3.30ish in the afternoon but maybe it was because it is a bank holiday weekend. The opening hours on their website are much longer 10am-5pm on a Sunday, 7am-7pm Mon-Fri and 9am-7pm on Saturdays. It meant that we had to choose what we wanted quickly. Luckily they have clear signs on the food for vegetarian, gluten free and/or vegan. I was in the mood for sugar so went for the Vegan Chocolate ginger Torte and it was lovely. I'm not sure if that was the name they gave it as it was a bit of a rush. It was very gingery, chocolatey, dense and satisfying.

I'm excited to go another day to have a sandwich and a cup of coffee. I saw a white bap with peanut butter and jam being advertised but didn't have time to discover more.

We still got boho gelato sorbet. I had chocolate and banana which was yum.

Sore Throats and Rainy Days

Its been the first rainy day for ages. I have a sore throat. I have lots of onion to use up where various family members have made things and not checked the fridge! I have onion covered in coriander left over from an Indian meal.

Carrot and coriander soup time!

I scanned the internet then came up with whatever I had around. I'm trying it with a bit of ginger after looking at a About.com recipe. Sorry all my measurements are mixed up.

1 tbsp Vegetable oil

Little omega 3 oil if you want

roughly one onion

1lb carrots chopped

1 potato

tsp coriander powder

a little ginger powder

1 ltr water and vegetable stock cube

Fry chopped onion in oil and add chopped carrots and potato.

Add coriander and ginger.

Fry for a bit longer.

Add water and stock cube.

Cook for roughly 20 mins or until soft.

Leave to cool slightly.

Blend and heat again if it has cooled too much.

Season with pepper. (There is already salt from the stock cube)

Tasty but I personally would have less of the stock cube or a reduced salt stock cube next time. My throat feels better and the sun came out. :)
