As usual I start with apologizing for not posting in a while. But I would like to think I post when I have something useful to say, rather than just posting for the sake of it. My excuse for not posting is we are travelling again – aboard our boat in France! Which is why …
Indonesian Pumpkin Cakes
We are on a bit of an Indonesian fling at the moment, as you might have gathered. See my last post to find out how this came about. One of the desserts at our Indonesian pop-up dining event was these tiny pumpkin cakes. They are surprisingly tasty – just sweet enough with a hint of coconut. …
Sweetcorn Fritters
We love these tasty Thai or Indonesian bites. We have attempted to make these sweetcorn fritters numerous times, always without success. Aiming to keep things healthy, we have tried to avoid deep frying, and have used all sorts of different ingredients to make the fritters hold together. The whole Indonesian Pop-Up dining event (Check out …
Lentil and Nut Roast
A Nut Roast is one of the go-to vegetarian main course dishes. For our recent pop-up vegan dining event (Check out our Green and Vegan FB page), we decided to do a vegan version. Over there years we have made several nut roasts but have never found a really great recipe. I came across this vegetarian Lentil …
Chocolate and Coconut Log
There is something about chocolate! Chocolate desserts are always a hit, and this Chocolate and Coconut Log was absolutely scrumptious! We served it up with fresh raspberries at our last vegan pop-up dining event. (Check out our Green and Vegan FB page) The inspiration once again comes from Vegan Bible, by Marie Laforet, but I needed …
Vegan Sushi
Vegan sushi is something I never in my wildest dreams imagined I would make! But I did, and it worked very well. We served it as a starter at on of our pop-up dining events (check out our Green and Vegan FB page) a while back. A couple of people commented that it was the best …
Chocolate mousse – vegan version
You can’t say vegan chocolate mousse anymore without mentioning aquafaba, the new vegan egg-white replacement. Well I suppose it is not that new – been around a while, but I have only recently started working with it. Just in case you have’nt heard of it, aquafaba – (literally – bean water), is the liquid that …
Coconut-Banana Vegan Ice-creem
As promised, here is my recipe for coconut-banana vegan ice-creem. I would love to call it a fool-proof recipe, but I have tried out many so-called fool-proof ones that actually don’t work. So I will just say it is the first successful vegan ice-creem I’ve managed to make. My ingredients: 1 (400ml) tin coconut milk …
Mini Apple Tarts – Vegan of course
Since getting into raw foods, and going vegan, I have not done any baking at all. Not sure why this is, but probably linked to the idea of a low-carb diet being healthy. We’re not so now sure that is the case, and carbs have stated creeping back into our foods. Add to that the …
White Bean Pate
Vegan Recipe Books We keep discovering new vegan recipe books. They are popping up all the time. Our latest new find is one called Vegan Bible, by Marie Laforet. I am loving it because the few recipes I have tried so far actually seem to work. And pretty well every cooking technique is covered. This …
