As we cannot do our Green & Vegan pop up dining due to this Covid pandemic, we have started doing take out sandwiches. This Tofu Mayo Sandwich is my favourite. It uses my ‘vegan egg’ recipe, along with a commercially bought low oil mayo on a health seed loaf from our local Knead bakery. When …
I made theses Chicken Seitan Skewers a while ago but never got round to posting the recipe. The original inspiration for this came from this recipe from Sam at “itdoesnttastelikechicken”. Just to make sure, I made them again yesterday. The original recipe uses silken tofu, but this time I used twice frozen firm tofu which …
Back home again. First – a very happy New Year to all out there. Second – I must (again) apologise for not posting for ages! 2016 ended up as a year with much work and travelling, and subsequently very little blogging. However, I am now back in our lovely kitchen in Cape Town, and making …
Vegan Quiche So here is our recipe for the courgette vegan quiche that we served as a main course for the first run of our vegan underground restaurant. See the last post. We had been trying to make a good vegan quiche for a while. Some (non vegan) friends invited us for dinner, and …
Vegan Stir Fry Smoked Tempeh and vegan stir fry I seem to think stir fries were originally the domain of carnivores – it was a good way to quickly cook a meal. But our vegan stir fries are one of Karen’s favourite meals. I’m not going to give a specific recipe, as you can stir …
Vegan Creem Cheeze Karen found this slightly modified and very easy vegan creem cheeze recipe. We use this when we cannot get Toffutti. It makes a pleasant, mild creem cheeze that is great for toasts or snacks. Don’t be put off by the seemingly strange ingredients. Ingredients: 1 block silken tofu, rinsed and drained …
Vegan ‘NOT smoked salmon scramble’ Among the new gadgets I discover at Deborah Durrant’s Taste course was the cold smoking gun. A very simple device but effective. At the course, we used the smoke gun to smoke some marinated veggies, namely moolie and carrots. I was quite taken with how much the carrots now resembled …
El Piano – vegan eatery in York According to Happy Cow, there are quite a few vegetarian places, but only one vegan establishment – El Piano. Very Spanish sounding, not surprisingly, as the other two branches are in Granada and Malaga in Spain. A main course cost £ 9.95 and was made up of your …
Smoked Tofu Steaks – vegan and healthy way to entertain Tofu steaks with raw mango chutney In last week’s post, I gave the recipe for the starter (raw sweetcorn chowder) at our last dinner party. Now for the main course, which was smoked tofu steaks with a raw mango chutney, sweet potato chips and salads. …
Vegan ‘fry up’ People often ask why vegans or vegetarians try to make carnivore look alike meals. I am not really sure why we do this, but at the moment we have Karen’s parents staying with us, and they are not even vegetarian, let alone vegan. I think we do this to make them feel …
