Pictures of good vegan food you've eaten! (2)

Behold the first vegan (non-gluten free!) cake I have ever made...it was for a birthday.

My brother was shocked it was vegan, he thought I'd used up all the eggs.

It is supposed to be three colours...green...red...blue...but as you can see, the natural food colourings I bought were not very good. lol

Your cake looks amazing Witchy...............I really want cake now! :)

[Firestorm]

That cake looks lovely, moist and delicious.
I made a mistake with food colouring the other day, I made a vegan "egg" , I used some natural red food colouring mixed with yellow to make orange. It looked OK but tasted weird, thats when I realised it wasn't food colouring, it was strawberry flavouring.

My attempt at making börek. They are filled with spinach, tofu, mushrooms, walnuts and lots of spices.

Haha, oh gosh! Sorry but...lol I'd make the same mistake also I bet, as they are both red aren't they?! These Natural Food colourings seem to mix into the yellow of the cake sponge which is why they aren't so strong...but the red is paprika and that always stains even in curry and so on. lol It still mixed with the yellow and made some brown bits...I think I'll stick with either vanilla or chocolate cake from now on...haah

Dont give up, the cake looks really nice. Keep practicing till you get it right, its a great excuse to keep eating cake.;)

[xwitchymagicx]

Well, I did want to try a gluten free version of this sponge...as I think the yoghurt in the recipe with combat the dryness many gluten free cakes have. :) It would be nice to have a basic gluten free sponge recipe that can be adapted!

I see those cakes with the crosses on them all the time here in Spain! Did you make a vegan version or are the regular cakes vegan? I guess I've never thought to check!

Had to use up leftovers so I made this.

Steamed broccoli
Mashed potato and mushy pea fritters
Baked red & yellow bell peppers stuffed with a mix of refried beans, rice and chopped tomatoes.

I have major food envy! Am on the road and haven't had a nice meal in 3 days. Any, all of these look so good to me!

[Aylanna]

Sorry, I obviously don't know how to make the photograph show up yet.

Hi Mauitn, welcome to the forum!
The way to get your pictures to show up is to upload the pictures to a photo-hosting site such as Photobucket or Flikr, get the imbedding URL, go to the little 'insert image' button on the top of the reply box, put in the URL, making sure that it only has one http:// and it should show up then.
I know because it took me ages to get it to work too! Looking forward to seeing your pictures!

[Firestorm]

Looking forward to seeing your pictures!
Me too, and welcome to the forum:bigsmile2:

Welcome, Mauitn! You did insert the link to the picture the right way, but for some reason, it didn't show up.
I'll try to insert your link (http://www.flickr.com/photos/8894287@N06/5718838299) below - the way Blueberries explained:

That was well worth the effort - it look delicious - Thanks Mauitn & Korn

[mauitn]

Ah, thanks. I am still not sure what I did wrong, but I will work on it.

Chopped spinach mixed with diced tomatoes & cucumber and three bean varieties topped with grated carrot and jerusalem artichoke, orange chunks, diced avocado, chilli fried smoked tofu and basil leaves. Drizzled with a home made vinaigrette around the outside.

[mauitn]

Those are pulp crackers I made after a carrot, celery, pear juice. Okay, but a lot of work/time in the dehydrator for not much taste.
