Sweet Potato Veggie Burger

Even before I became a vegetarian I have always loved a good veggie burger.  Years ago, when I was a dancer working part-time at the local Pharmacy to make ends meet, the cafe a couple of doors up were famous for them.  It was a simple place.  A real old-school establishment that always looked a little grubby.   Old band posters covered every inch and they played rock music a little too loudly from the moment the doors opened at 7am until close. The memory of that veggie burger has always stayed with me.  I’ve tried to replicate it countless times over the years without much luck… until now.  These Sweet Potato Veggie Burgers are absolutely scrumptious!

I love Melbourne in Autumn.   Although we still have the occasional warm and sunny afternoon, the mornings are dark, cold, and foggy.  The last hints of summer are well and truly over. It’s time to brace ourselves for the colder months to come.

As someone who loves to cook (and eat) this is the perfect time of year for me.  There’s still heaps of fresh produce to choose from at the market, but it’s cool enough that you can cosy up on the couch with a big bowl of colourful deliciousness and be quite content to stay there.

Italian cuisine has always been an inspiration to me in the kitchen.  I love how it tastes and how easy it can be to create at home. It’s also a great springboard to interesting vegetarian dishes.  Take my Veggie Tuna and White Bean Salad for example.  Based on the classic Tuscan Tuna and White Bean Salad, it’s a vegetarian twist on a store cupboard favorite.   Bright and fresh in flavour this Veggie Tuna and White Bean Salad is quick and easy to make and super tasty to eat.
