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

The loaves look yum! Oatly is a good pouring cream, but I was thinking of a whipping cream, which is what appeared to be the one used in the tiramisu (or maybe it was just icing?). Tibits also make a daily vegan mousse that is whipped, and I've always wondered how they do it. It tastes more of soya than coconut (in a good way, obviously - it's fantastic!), but just wondered if anyone knew what else could be whipped for a thick, rich topping?

I haven't tried it myself but I hve seen recipes online for whipping cream make from coconut milk. I can't remember where I saw it but I'm sure if you google it you should find it.

it was my last day at work today and the chef, who is amazing, made me a vegan tiramisu cake to take home! She even made vegan baileys (irish cream, whatever) to use in it. :heart:
that
looks
amazing.

I've done that and it tasted too coconutty unless you're specifically going for coconut cream. It was nice with a brownie, though!

No, rainbow, it wasn't icing; it was cream, and you're right, it was more whipped than the oat stuff. I'll try to find out this week. :)

Is that sauce homemade? If so do you have the recipe?
I have hoards of fresh tomatoes from my garden and would like to make a sauce tonight to go with spaghetti but I don't want to waste a ton of tomatoes on something that's going to bomb. This happened to me a few weeks ago. I have been researching fresh tomato sauce recipes and they seem so time consuming. BTW your dish looks very nice.

[Blackpoolvegan]

Nom! If you have fresh tomatoes, roasting them before using them in a sauce is a good way to make the most of them - it certainly adds flavour. Here is Delia's recipe: http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/main-ingredient/vegetables/tomato/roasted-tomato-salad.html
I think she also has a very similar recipe for a sauce, so I think you could use the one I've posted here and then whizz up some tomato magic for pasta!

Enjoy!

Both Barry & Risker's food looks very impressive and more importantly delicious!

Today was my Mom's birthday so I made her a cashew cream tart, almost all raw except I used maple syrup in making the cashew cream. The mint leaves are from my garden.

This is cashew "cheese" that I made some time ago just to experiment. I used agar flakes which I had in my cupboard forever.

Thanks for the recipe! I ended up making something else, but I will save this for future reference!

Thanks Firestorm!

Robinwomb - The cashew cheese looks great. How did it taste?

It tasted wonderful! It didn't taste like real cheese but it tasted really good in its own way. It does have the texture of cheese, slices very nicely, and goes well in sandwiches or with crackers. It keeps for at least a week, and absorbs spices nicely. I did not try to melt it though. I am thinking of making this again for the holiday season this winter with homemade crackers.
