Thanks.I could have made a good guess, but preferred your exact quantity.I buy the cashew broken bits, which are cheaper.

The recipes I think of as my own are often adaptations of other recipes, tweaked until they suit me.I can't think of one that I have created from the very beginning...sometimes I'm not sure where "my" recipe began...

There will be very creative vegetarian cooks out there with their own original recipes.

You recipe "evolved" I think - sometimes that is how the best recipes come about.If you have tweaked it enough it may be OK to include as it is not the original recipe but an adapted one.What do you think

Tricky question....being a bookie person, I am super-aware of copyright and plagiarism etc.There are community fund-raising cookbooks where contributors are asked for their 'favourite' recipes and they're all so generic that you'll see the [Edmonds] Ginger Crunch, for example, in just about every single one!

It's hard to see a high-profile chef complaining about copyright in a fund-raiser such as this unless it's a signature dish of theirs that they recognise in the tweaked recipe.

Love this thread!

I don't know amounts for this because I just make however much I need.

Medium grain brown rice (not heaps as it's not nice with a lot of rice in it)
Small chunks of roasted pumpkin
Chickpeas (tinned is easier!)
Bok Choy(steamed)
Courgettes (sliced thinly)
Garlic
Soy sauce
Fresh tomatoes

Cook rice until soft and then fry together in a bit of olive oil with the other ingredients (except for the pumpkin) I like the tomatoes not very cooked so I add them towards the end and then chuck the bits of pumpkin in too.

It's really nice hot or cold.
