Crème Caramel is another of these classic French desserts. Having perfected Crème Brulee, I thought this would be easy. Not so – had a few unsuccessful attempts but finally came up with this one. Check out the notes at the end of the post. Here at Green and Vegan we try to make food that …
One of the most interesting aspects of or Green and Vegan pop up dinners is that each evening the menu is different. (Have a look at our FB page here). We do sometimes do things backwards! Decide on an appetising menu first and then make up or test the recipes. Starters and desserts are usually …
Panisse is a dish from Provence. Typically served in fingers (almost like fries), it has a crispy exterior, and a creamy almost custard-like interior, reminiscent of polenta. Panisse can be served as a side to almost any meat, but also makes a perfect vegan main course, or a tasty little appetizer. Our recipe for panisse is based on …
This Tortilla de Patatas recipe is another from our Demuth’s Vegan Cooking Diploma Course we did recently in Bath in the UK. Each day focused on a different country flavour profile, and this was the Spanish day – obviously! A tortilla is usually done in a frying pan, then flipped, or finished in the oven. …
We have made several nut roasts before, but I have never been entirely happy with them. We have also done some vegan cooking courses, the most recent being the Demuth’s 2 week diploma course in Bath. While there we had an excellent meal at Acorn, which was originally Rachel Demuth’s but is now run by …
South of France Gosh time flies! Much has happened since I last posted. We left our beloved boat Shangri La in St Jean de Losne in and headed for the south of France by train. We visited Avignon, Montpellier and Marseille spending a few days in each place. Wow things are certainly changing for the …
I know it has been ages since I posted! Sorry. But I have not been idle. I did a 6-month on-line plant-based chef course through Rouxbe. Gosh this was quite intensive, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned so much. At the same time Karen (my wife) and I got going with our fortnightly pop-up …
Who would have thought of using beans in a dessert? Seems like lots of people. Anyway – it was a first for me, and turned out really well. I am busy doing an on line cooking course and needed to make two completely diffenrent dishes using the same type of bean. I made a savoury …
This very tasty Tomato Consomme is thanks to Jamie Oliver’s “Taste” video series. We made and served it at our latest pop-up vegan dining event last Saturday, and it seemed to go down a treat. Check out our Green & Vegan FB page Ingredients: 5 or 6 ripe large tomatoes 1/2 t horseradish sauce (preferable to …
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 …
