Vegan Brunch

[Buddha Belly]

We have not made anything from ours yet. Any recommendations?

All of the three things I made were deeeeelish! Other people have loved the cinnamon rolls, the English muffins, the scrambles and omlettes.

Everything I've made from this book (see above posts) has been delicious. The East Coast Coffee Cake I've made 3x. First w/ chocolate chips & raspberries, then w/ bananas & chocolate chips, and most recently w/ cinnamon and figs.

Today I made the tempeh sausage pastry puffs. My husband and I have already eaten 4 each. So good! It's the first time I ever used puff pastry. I also made the smoothies supreme. Best berry smoothie I've ever had. Using frozen bananas really makes a difference.

BB, if you are interested in a yummy recipe that makes a lot, I'd recommend the Mom's Morning Casserole w/ the Cheesy Sauce. We ate that all week.

I made the tomato rosemary scones yesterday. They are such a pretty color and yummy as well. We had them w/ soup. The dough was very sticky when I turned it out to knead it and I had to add a considerable amount of extra flour.

I am beginning to wonder what I ate before I got this cookbook. Over the weekend I made the Puttanesca Scramble, Potato & Spinach Squares, and the Banana Rabanada. They were all so, so good. I will be making them all again. I might make more of the tofu dish today b/c I have a lot of the potato squares left over. It makes a big pan (but that's a good thing :)). I highly recommend all those dishes. And Isa is right (of course), the puttanesca and the potato squares really compliment each other nicely.

I have had and loved this book for a while, but have recently made a few things that were really good. New Years day I made the chesapeak tempeh cakes w/roulade and the shiitake dill frittata. Both were so good! I think I liked this frittata variation better than the swiss chard one, which I had made several times. The tempeh cakes were so good. They were a little crumbly as vegan witch mentioned earlier in the thread, but not too bad.
Today I made the breakfast risotto topped with smoky shiitakes. I also fried some fakin tempeh bacon with it (lightlife). The risotto was very good, especially with the smoky mushrooms and tempeh.

Other things I have made in the past are the roasted butternut squash, scrambled tempeh, choc. chip espresso muffins, mom's morning casserole and a tofu omelette w/broccoli rabe & capers. It has pretty much all been super good.

Next I really want to attempt the crepes, but I'm scared...

I have this book :D great recipes that actually taste good. It inspired me to buy a waffle iron, which I broke after making my first batch D: I made the choc beer waffles and they were truly awesome.

They all sound really good, let us know how you get on with the Crepes!

I have only made a few things from Vegan Brunch but they have all been brilliant. I have made Italian Feast Sausages, French toast and the hash browns (the hash browns were a little grey but still tasty).

I made the cocoa and raspberry muffins from Vegan Brunch today, they were lovely. I followed the recipe exactly, except for the almond extract, and used frozen raspberries. I also have my eye on the coffee cake and its variations. Seems like a really good book, the idea of 'brunch' translates for me as a lazy weekend breakfast and I love that type of food!

This evening I made the bagel recipe from VB. Somehow I halved a recipe for 12 bagels & got three but they turned out really nicely, just like shop-bought ones :)

I made the English muffins from VB today. My mixture ended up being really wet and I needed to add a tonne of extra flour but once they were baked they turned out perfectly, lovely and fluffy :)
