Raw vegan mango tart One of our dreams is to run a small ‘underground restaurant’ from our home, maybe twice a month, serving raw vegan food. Which is why I keep practicing these raw vegan desserts. I tried this raw mango tart a while ago. It had a really lovely fresh fruity flavour. So good …
Vegan ham We have been wanting to do more with seitan, but simply have not got around to it. Karen’s parents, who are hard core carnivores, are here for Xmas, so we needed to produce something ‘meatlike’ for Xmas lunch yesterday. Karen did a brilliant job and came up with this vegan ham, or gammon. …
Rustic coconut tart Another heavenly and healthy raw dessert from Natalie and Noel’s ‘easy living food’. We served this at our last raw pizza dinner party – see previous posts. Their recipe called for mature coconuts. I used dessicated coconut. This tended to soak up the liquid so to up the liquid a bit, i …

Raw vegan pecan cookies We are just loving all these raw foods, and particularly the sweet or dessert ones. These raw pecan cookies were so easy, and of course delicious. The original recipe came from Anya Ladra’s book – ‘Raw Food detox’ Her recipe called for maple syrup, but that is ridiculously expensive, so I …
Raw vegan parmesan cheez In a couple of recent posts, raw courgette pasta and raw pastas pestos and sauces I talked about raw pastas and sauces. And of course pasta wouldn’t be pasta without parmesan cheese. At our last dinner party, we served a raw sweet potato pasta and tangy tomato sauce, with a vegan parmesan cheez. Vegan parmesan …
Vegan spelt crust quiche Karen has wanted to try vegan baking for a while now. When I was at the London Vegfest a while ago, there were loads of recipe books on special, and I bought her the “Whole Grain VEGAN BAKING” by Celine Steen and Tamasin Noyes. This spelt-crusted quiche was the first dish we tried, …
Karen’s coriander pesto In an earlier post here I showed Karen’s raw courgette pasta with a basil pesto. Butternut or sweet potato also work very well as the ‘pasta’, though these vegetables need to be dropped into hot water and left for about 10 minutes to soften. You could use the same basil pesto as the …
