The Observer Food Monthly Awards 2011

13 May 2011 by Dominic Franks

… so now that i’m an international radio star and in my on-going efforts towards world domination I thought I’d better enter my blog into the Observer Food Monthly Awards for this year…
… as many of you know, the Observer is the Sunday edition of The Guardian Newspaper, one of the UK’s most established and longest running, left-leaning newspapers and also one of my favourites because it has such a brilliant art and culture section… it is also probably the best newspaper when it comes to food, with it’s excellent monthly OFM Magazine and brilliantly informative Word of Mouth food blog… The OFM Magazine have been running the OFM Awards for 10 years now and it is, I think, one of the most highly regarded food awards in the UK.  The ‘best blog’ category is new.
… so i’d love you to vote for me, should you feel so inclined… simply click here to vote… you don’t even have to fill in all the categories, you can just go straight to ‘best blog’ and fill that in…
… it’s for UK only (unless you fancy making up a UK address or using the address of someone you know here?)
… and obviously when I win I will thank you all in my acceptance speech!
I thank you x

    You are becoming quite the rock star, bucko! Can internationals vote?

    … and… did Blogger go bonkers in the UK too? I thought I lost a post, but after a bit it came back onto the site sans comments and post labels with squirelly fonts … very strange things going on in Blogger World here in the States.

    @ Susan… yeah you can vote but have to use a UK address if you can…

    … blogger has been a royal pain in the arse all day… apparently they were down for 20 hours and have lost lots of comments from lots of blogs!

    onwards and upwards eh?

    I'll work on creating a UK ID just so I can vote for you! So, tell me, how does World Domination smell? Is it sweet and tangy like you?

    Have a wonderful weekend! Check my newest post in a few hours!

    Best of luck! I can't vote as I'm from Oz but I would if I could! BTW, the white loaf in the last post is brilliant! The texture looks so moist and tender!

    Of course I'll vote for you. I quickly realised I'd only ever be trailing in your wake, so thought I'd better just get used to it 😉

    My lost post and comments from Thursday still not back – not sure at what point I give up and just knuckle down and re-write the post.

    good luck!!!!

    Aw shucks you're all adorable. …

    @ choclette. Youre the wind beneath my wings!! I feel your pain! I lost comments but no posts thankfully. Blogger have apologised apparently and have said they are doing everything they can to bring lost stuff back so I'd hold out!

Vegan roast vegetable gravy. The best gravy I’ve Vegan roast vegetable gravy. The best gravy I’ve ever made, easily on par with the roast chicken-wing gravy I made at Christmas. Served here with @quorn_uk ‘meatballs’ and two types of mash - regular potato and swede & carrot.

Cake! - is there such thing as a ‘healthy’ cak Cake! - is there such thing as a ‘healthy’ cake?

This fat-free orange and lemon cake is actually an adaptation of the infamous Clementine Cake by @nigellalawson . It’s one of my absolute favourite ‘go-to’ cakes.  If truth be told I usually make it at Christmas because its rich almond nuttiness and intense clementine fruitiness is perfect for the holiday season but looking back over the years I realise I haven’t actually made it for about 8 years! So now seems the perfect time to resurrect an old favourite.  It’s also a great cake to make if you have an abundance of citrus fruit left over from last year.  I always seem to have a few stragglers left in the bowl that really need eating.

vegetable stew with a creamy yoghurt sauce & chedd vegetable stew with a creamy yoghurt sauce & cheddar dumplings with @quorn_uk pieces and @fage_uk yoghurt

The challenge with making food or diet-related New Years resolutions is that it tends to be pretty damn cold this time of year and all we really want to eat is warming soups and stews which often tend to be quite naughty.  With this stew I’ve tried to cut down the fat but still make it unctuous and satisfying although the dumplings are a total cop-out but I’m thinking that this is a ‘one bowl meal’ and I’m not saving it with any other carbs so I’m letting myself off here!

Roast Brussels Sprouts Fajitas with homemade Oat-F Roast Brussels Sprouts Fajitas with homemade Oat-Flour Tortillas

Not more Brussels sprouts I hear you cry! But like puppies, Brussels are not just for Christmas.  They are a very versatile vegetables and can be used in so many recipes, plus they’re packed with the good stuff. They’re high in fibre, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, making them a nutritious addition to your diet. They also come with added health benefits, including the potential to reduce the risk of cancer, decrease inflammation and improve blood sugar control.  If all this isn’t good enough for your wellbeing then ive added some tangy Mexican-inspired spices and some homemade tortilla’s to remind us all of the sunshine and holidays… remember them?
