[Kitteh]

Yum @ some of the pics that have been posted!

My dindins tonight, fresh baby spinach & tomato w/ tofu and mushies, added some tamari on the side after

[Aradia]

I had an overwhelming urge for some cherry bakewells. I made some mini-ones to, but... um .. they've all been eaten!

[bryzee86]

oh my they look good!

[emzy1985]

Emzy, did you make the cheesy potato thing using the nutritional yeast?

Yes, that and rice milk and soy sauce all blended up!

Animaladvocate introduced it to me and gave me the recipe for the calzone filling I made the other day...few pages back!

I haven't had bakewells in years.....

[cedarblue]

I haven't had bakewells in years.....

me either - recipe please aradia!

[cobweb]

mmm, yes please Aradia

[Est]

Yes please from me too Aradia! Those bakewells looks delish

[emmapresley]

yep..also please from me too..
my child was standing behind my shoulder practically demanding it. she luuuurves bakewell tart

[cobweb]

well as usual my photography is less than brilliant but this was LOVELY!!. I call it 'Creamy Lentils'. All I did was bring them to the boil with a bit of bouillon, sugar and mustard added, then drained off some of the water, added Alpro soy cream, and bunged it in the oven in these bean pots for 35 mins. The taste and texture was so good!. I added the mixed sprouts at the end.

[evako]

I was slightly obsessed with stuffing things.



and baking




My husband's birthday cake

[RubyDuby]

yum.

and to the uncalled for cherry bake wells.

[Kitteh]

Those stuffed caps look yum, am yet to try something like that.

I saw Lolo's latest blog (veganyumyum) which featured Marmalade Tofu and decided I had to try making it, even tho I have cooked tofu before that I marinated w/ sweet chilli sauce and tofu that I didn't end up liking. It was yum! I also added in some red cap and corn to cook in the marinade and I did white rice w/ lemon instead of couscous.

Bake tofu on rice


I added a salad and some mushies


And here are some palmiers I made the other weekend

[Aradia]

ok, here's the bakewell tart recipe as requested.... mine's all gone now, think I'll have to make another!

Make a shortcrust pastry, roll in clingfilm and relax it in the fridge for 30 mins. Then roll out and line the bottom of a square cake tin. Prick all over with a fork and cook at 190 degrees for 15/20 mins.

When cooled a bit, smear a big, thick, oozy layer of raspberry jam on top of the pastry .... don't go easy with it!

150g flour
75g brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
60g ground almonds
1 tsp almond essence (optional .. for an extra almondy burst of almond!)
100ml sunflower oil
150ml water

Mix together ... dry ingredients first, then mix in the liquids. Pour on top of the jammy pastry and bake at 190 degrees for about 30 mins. Leave to go cold.

Mix about 150g of icing sugar with enough water to make a thick icing. Pour over the tart and top with glace cherry halves.

Good with ice cream, custard or on it's own with a cuppa.

[bryzee86]

that sounds well easy to make.

Next week, I have a task.

[emzy1985]

This is my tuna not creation...I quite liked it. I have no idea what tuna tastes like as I've never eaten it. I think it tasted like chicken mayo but there you go!!!

[jamboxrock]

Emzy, you're like the queen of food touching each other on the plate and it drives me a little crazy. Looks good though

[cedarblue]

that tuna not creation look lovely emzy - can you post the recipe?

[Glossgirl]

Haha! I think that everytime I see her food too! Drives me off the wall. Seperate your dish!!

But she looks like a damn good chef, so.....whatever

Lol, I like it when the food touching each other ... it looks more tasty somwhow

[cobweb]

ooh i like my food all muddled together!

that tuna not sounds and looks lovely - i never used to eat fish but think i might try it. (er the vegan version, obviously, i will not be trying to eat a dead fish anytime soon )

[emzy1985]

Well I'm not a gourmet chef like some on here but I did used to be a chef of sorts and I was told to make it look like there is more on the plate than there is. That's probably where the habit comes from and besides I like big portions!

Um well cedar the recipe was just Tuna Not which I ordered online and palmil pressed flaxseed mayo. Just mixed it up and threw it on the potato! Next time I might add a few spring onions or leeks into the mix and see how it goes.

[Marrers]

I am surprised how many people have a problem with food touching other food on their plates (as noted in the 'weird habits' thread). I'm going to start studying how the people I know serve up a meal now!

[Kitteh]

Haha, I agree, Marrers, it's all going to get jumbled up in your stomach anyhoo!

Thanks for the Bakewell recipe, Aradia, looks nummy

[Roxy]

I had an overwhelming urge for some cherry bakewells. I made some mini-ones to, but... um .. they've all been eaten!

Orange and date oat cookies:

[Sluggie]

[pavotrouge]

That picture makes my mouth water. Those are the perfect size for my laptop lunchbox!

I wonder if the whole tart would fit into a laptop lunch

Sluggie, those cookies sound awesome... is there a recipe to share?
And your dinner isn't boring at You inspired me to make a tagine tonight.

[Sluggie]

How on earth did you get your rice in such a perfect ring shape Sluggie?! I'm impressed.

[jamboxrock]

... and yesterday's dinner (I know, all my dinners look the same) ...

If by "the same" you mean "delicious", then yes.

squash pickles:



carrot raisin salad:



kale chips:



pasta w/ cheesy sauce & chopped broccoli, alongside the kale chips:

more details on my blog. and sorry for the continually huge pictures. I'm too tired to resize...

[pavotrouge]

thanks sluggie!

jambox, how do you make kale chips?

[claireyveg]

Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies I made today

[Mahk]

Wow. I knew Australia was far away but I had no idea the time difference was measured in years!

[Stine]

mmm looks so good

[Sluggie]

How on earth did you get your rice in such a perfect ring shape Sluggie?! I'm impressed.

It's in a deep pasta bowl with a wide edge, like this one:



Those pickled squashes look good - do they taste like gherkins?

Now I have to hurry up and eat all the date and orange cookies so I can bake some chocolate chip ones.

[jamboxrock]

thanks sluggie!

jambox, how do you make kale chips?

I thought I replied to this earlier, but apparently I am crazy cause I don't see it. The recipe is here. I'm thinking I previewed the reply but didn't post. Doh...

Dinner tonight: VWAV corn chowder and fakin' bacon

[jamboxrock]

Those pickled squashes look good - do they taste like gherkins?

No, they don't taste THAT pickly. I'm not sure how manufactured pickles get so pickly. They taste vinegary/briny though, and get a bit crunchy. Next time I'm going to salt and drain them before so they're even crunchier.

[Kitteh]

I made a green curry on Monday night so I can have it for a few nights now. I used coconut milk, Blue Kitchen's green curry paste, tofu, mushies, red cap, corn, carrot, sugar snap peas and tomato. Served it w/ quinoa:


I really like NutriSoy's tempeh burgers, but not sure what to have w/ them. The only other time I have tempeh is on a take away burger w/ satay sauce, cabbage and salad, what do you guys eat with it?

I took this pic w/ the ppl who hate food touching in mind Tempeh burger, salad, mushies and a dollop of chilli sauce and Plamil mayo on the side:

[Mahk]

I took this pic w/ the ppl who hate food touching in mind

LOL! Maybe even better still would be to erect small fences made of tooth picks to make sure there was no accidental "co-mingling". he-he

[Roxy]

Mmmm lookin good jambox and kitteh

[Enchantress]

Kitteh, the carrot is touching the lettuce! *recoils in horror*

[Kitteh]

Damn, I knew it wouldn't be acceptable! And what about the curry, all mixed in :P

It was the thought that counts

[missbettie]

I have a plate with dividers on it...and it has cute little piggys too...of course it is meant to be a childs plate...but, I refuse to grow up all the way.

[bryzee86]

I'd freak out if my food came to me divided like that.

[missbettie]

but its so symetrical!!

[bryzee86]

and ocd.

[ellaminnowpea]

and perfectly separated

[ellaminnowpea]

i want a little separating plate! maybe ill go look for one online now...

[jamboxrock]

Hot Dog Salad. Don't hate until you've tried it.

Just kidding JBR. Looks good. Tofu Pops or Smart dogs? I can't figure out what the difference is. Anyone know? I think the same company makes both.
