Found this recipe for Choc Chip Cookies on the Plant Based Chefs FB site. Some really good recipes here! At time of writing this we are in the Corona Virus lockdown – so spending my time in the kitchen trying recipes, and working through the recipes of the Rouxbe Essential Desserts Course that my wife …
Arancini
Arancini?? I had never heard of this till Karen came up with it for an idea for one of our pop-ups. Sounded wonderful – but needed to learn how to make it. So, what are they? – Basically, deep fried risotto rice balls. Which of course was immediately a problem because we do like to …
Crème Caramel
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 …
Vegan Rice Paper Bacon
This Vegan Rice Paper Bacon makes a great tasty snack. And pretty easy to make. I found several videos on You Tube with vegan bacon recipes, and my recipe is based on the one by Brett Cobley. Check out his video. A couple of differences – Instead of soy sauce I used Bragg’s Aminos as …
Vegan Eggs
I have been wanting to try making vegan eggs for a long time now! It look so impossible that I kept putting it off. I found this recipe on the “exceedingly vegan” blog. It was actually very easy, and worked! So often I find a recipe on line and it actually does not work. So …
Orange and Almond Cake
I have to say I much prefer being in the kitchen making wonderful vegan food than writing about it! But I do like to share the recipes. This dessert has gone down so well at a couple of our pop-up dinners (check out our FB page here), and if you happen to be in Cape …
Aubergine and Lentil Lasagne
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
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 …
Orange Polenta Cake
This Orange Polenta Cake is a gluten free version of an orange drizzle cake. You can make it in a round or square baking tin or even in cupcakes sizes. The most important aspect of this recipe is to make sure the polenta is well hydrated. To that end I soak the polenta in the …
Tortilla de Patatas
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. …
