Had some bell peppers to use up so made 'stuffed peppers with spicy tomato sauce' from 'A vegan taste of India'. It was quite nice but hardly inspired and didn't seem very Indiany.

[DiaShel]

Stuffed with?

[Risker]

It had onion, rice, peas, garlic, sweetcorn, ginger, lemon grass, mustard seed and turmeric.

Most of this isn't vegan except for the sushi which I made and definitely is. (:

A question to Firestorm: where do you get your seitan from? If you buy it ready-made, where from? If you make it yourself, where do you get your vital wheat gluten from? (I know there are a couple of internet retailers but wondered which one you used.) And which recipe do you use - any recommendations? You say that those seitan sausages are home-made - they look mouthwatering!
Um, that was several questions. Sorry! Take it as a compliment because I am inspired by the pictures and want to know how to make something like that myself! (Bet I'm not the only one either!)
Made some particularly awesome cupcakes yesterday, will have to post a picture soon. I always seem to invest more time and creativity in desserts than main courses because I'm a cake fiend, but I love the pictures that other people share here! :)

[Firestorm]

Hi Rainbow, I use get my Vital Wheat Gluten from VX (http://www.vegancross.co.uk/#webshop), but I think I will use Honest-to-Goodness next time. The sausage recipe is Italian Feast Sausages from Vegan Brunch. The only difference this time was instead of using butter beans I used flageolet and I blended them with the vegetable stock so there are no whole beans which seemed to take away some of the chewiness from the seitan. If you want a full recipe let me know and I will post it:-)

[rainbow]

Bless you Firestorm, thanks for this. I didn't even know that VX sold VWG. I'm a London girl so I can try there next time I'm in need (although I still have some stash left from my last trip to the USA so will use that up first!). I don't have Vegan Brunch, but I do have other Isa and Terry books, plus there's lots of seitan recipes in La Dolce Vegan (a book I am otherwise not too fond of, but the seitan recipes are intriguing!), so I really should get on with making some. If only I could stop making cakes for five minutes.... ('tis the season!).

[Gwydion]

That sounds sooo good. I want some. Now :(

[diy-girlie]

Firestorm that looks lovely! Very festive!

[Firestorm]

I've had it for lunch every Christmas eve for 3 years and now its tradition. If Humdinger ever stop making their white chocolate buttons I don't know what I will do.

[diy-girlie]

Yeah i way preferr the white choc buttons to the milk choc ones.

[diy-girlie]

Firestorm, that trifle looks quite tasty. What is it?

[Desertthorn]

You guys make my mouth squirt. Yummy.

[Firestorm]
