@Firestorm: aww, snap! I didn't follow a recipe for my ones, just made them last year on a whim because I fancied doughnuts but don't have a deep-fat fryer. In the second photo, the person holding the cake squeezed too hard - they didn't start out that flat! I topped them with crunchy sugar rather than icing sugar, but icing sugar might be a better bet for next time.

I love all the posts on this thread and follow them all - I don't often post "that looks yummy" even though I keep thinking it, so as not to bore people, but I do keep taking inspiration from people's pictures here! I must follow the herd though and give a shout-out to that chocolate pie with white chocolate mousse - WOW! I was supposed to be going to SF next month for a conference and was so excited about getting to visit Millennium - but then my conference got moved to Seattle. :( On the bright side, I'm off to Manna (in London) for lunch today, so may come back later with some new photos! :D

^^Rainbow: Seattle is an excellent place for vegan fare. I have been there twice, once actually for part of my honeymoon, and it is fabulous. Just take a look at this link for ideas: http://www.vegseattle.com/VegRestaurants.pdf. If a nicer atmosphere is what you are looking for, I suggest Plum Vegan Bistro (although not quite as upscale as Millenium).
But SF is a great city as well, if you are able to make it out there at another time, I do suggest it.

I went to SF shortly before becoming vegan. I loved it but now I want to go back and do it right ;)

Most of my food looked kinda pretty today (well breakfast did- went down hill a bit after that).
Breakfast - Overnight oats with and without Nature valley granola bar:

Photos from Manna, as promised. It was amazing! I'm so glad we went there, it was possibly my best restaurant experience ever. And we had a wonderful sun-drenched walk in Regents Park afterwards. The perfect end to our honeymoon!
Quesadillas: we shared these as a starter. With black bean salad and guacamole:

Everything tasted at least as good as it looked. The portions were generous, the service was perfect, it was just amazing!

Isn't eating delicious looking food reason enough?

Not to travel 200 miles on public transport:( I'll have to start looking for jobs in London (especially those close to VX). I think Booja Booja are recruiting at the moment, I wonder where they are based? That would be a dream job!!

Yes, we must all go to Manna a.s.a.p. It looks a lot nicer than I remember from n years ago (and it wasn't all vegan then either).
After that we must all go to Firestorm's because his grub looks excellent too. What's Bananen-what-you-said when it's at home?

Count me in for a meet-up at Manna!
What about 20 August? It's a Saturday, and the day after is the London Vegan Festival - double reason to come to London!

First picture ever approved by tastespotting! My plate design is usually pretty good, but my "food photography" with background colours, props, and photography skills need a LOT of work. But it's a start :)

I think it translates as a banana molehill cake - I got the recipe here (http://vegan-monsterfood.blogspot.com/2010/07/bananen-maulwurfshugel.html) but I replaced the soya cream with custard because I ran out of cream.
