The concept of Cranks Fast Food is a simple one - brilliant, tasty vegetarian food in under 30 minutes - many can be easily done in 15-20 minutes.. Living in a country where sizeable proportions of the population live off ready meals because 'cooking takes too long', it's a book you often want to wave in front of people going 'LOOK! IT'S EASY!'

31% of people in India are vegetarian, and it's the country of the world with the most vegetarians. Some regions are more vegetarian than others, and in the Gujarit region, the population and food are primarily vegetarian. So no surprise then that Gujurati cuisine has come up with some excellent dishes over the years.

Over the years, author Clas Clarke became almost the Delia of student cooking and Grub on a Grant became known by many as the student cookbook bible, thanks to its extremely easy to follow recipes which were simple, and wholesome and tasty.

The book covers everything, and starts with the basics. Rather than presenting you with just the recipes, the book explores the equipment you need, general techniques and information about key ingredients.

Cast your mind back to 1961. It's the swinging sixties and you're on Carnaby Street. Far out man. There's fashion everywhere. And a restaurant.. And oh look it's vegetarian. That's good healthy food man!

Over the years we've now amounted a sizeable cookbook collection, so I've decided to review them. I'm going to share what I have and review them for you, sharing what's good and what's bad in the veggie cook book arena.

One of the things I'm always keen to do on large work projects is a bit of user testing - where we get real people to come in, try using our services and see what happens. The idea is to see what works, and more importantly, what doesn't.

When I lived in Ealing and wanted to go to the pub, the discussion between meself and Catherine usually went 'Pub?' 'Yeah. Go on then.' Then we'd leave the house. Near six years in Merton and the conversation still goes "'Pub?" "Yeah. Which one?'

Every year I make a number of train journeys outside London. And last year I actually kept a record of it - where I went, what I did, how much it cost. These are the results of that recording. That and a huge pile of orange tickets...

Charles, the owner of the Copper House B&B (who, incidentally, only does B&B for walkers) had warned me the day before that I'd probably be woken up by the cockeral at about 4am. Well if it did crow, I slept right through it - an unusual occurrence given I normally get woken up at the drop of a hat. Or Catherine's snoring.

I couldn't actually tell you where the South Downs Way starts in the city of Winchester. My guide book seemed suitably vague - suggesting it was somewhere near a youth hostel. Online I found nothing useful; just comments that it started in Winchester. Well I knew that already.

How about set up a Twitter account that publishes updates to this blog? So I did.

Yes on demand may be everywhere, however it appears we do still love our TV sets...

If I was to write a list of all my unfinished projects, it would probably take up several volumes. As I type, I'm surrounded by them - CD singles un-digitised; VHS tapes not converted onto DVD; Christmas decorations not put back in the loft... Oh and a host of lofty web stuff type ambitions never finished.
