- Ashy's Vegetarian Cookbook: No, we're definitely not vegetarian's but sometimes you can actually eat something without meat in it...really, it's okay. Ashy's Web site has, apart from a questionable colour scheme, a useful series of cooking and travel related pages and I defer to his cooking expertise quite regularly.
