CS,

Your meals sound really nice, and I have great respect the path that you're going down.

Sadly, I can't help thinking that your 'cabbage, potato and caraway soup' would be considerably improved by a grating of mature cheddar, and your 'baked potato, topped with mixed bean and sweetcorn chilli' much enhanced by a big knob of butter...

Maybe I just wasn't supposed to be a Vegan...
