Looks great, pavotrouge.

We made this on the weekend, it was phenomenal! Udon noodles with peanut sauce (there's lots but it's hidden underneath), raw veggies and tofu, yummy! The recipe is from Vegan with a Vengeance, except we couldn't source any seitan so we substituted tofu... highly, highly recommended.

[BlackCats]

That looks so nice AndyB. I have had so many tofu cravings lately and that looks yummy.

[cedarblue]

yes that does look nice - udon noodles are lovely!

[bryzee86]

That looks great!
How do you make the blackbean sauce?
I've been after a good recipe for a while!

yep mine was blue dragon's like sluggie says!

[pavotrouge]

the udon dish looks awesome, andy! When I make it it always turns out sort of messy-looking.

[AndyB]

Thanks guys! I just polished off the last round of leftovers, yum! We'll definitely be making that one again soon

[sponge]

That looks great Andy. I love the peanut sauce from VWAV.

[xrodolfox]

I just might've made the best vegan meal ever.

I'll post pics as soon as they are downloaded.

It was 1) Vegan Meatball Sub w/ melted vegan mozzarella on top 2) Vegan Onion rings with veganaise / ketchup / mustard 3) garbanzo + artichoke heart salad dressed with olive oil, salt, and lemon juice 4) "Leche (soya) con Platano" with a twist of vanilla (and creamy protein powder).

Wow. Amazing. Filling. Wow.

[jamboxrock]

xRodolfox, that sounds intense! And delicious. Please do post.

My dinner: sesame tofu w/ brown rice and stir-fried green beans and nappa cabbage. It didn't turn out exactly as I hoped but was very good. Even had little gelatinous bits like "real" chinese food does.

[xrodolfox]

First pic!

[Mahk]

Looks yummy xrodolfox. How do you make the batter for the onion rings?

[Roxy]

I hope no one minds - I stole some of the pictures from this thread to show off how pretty vegan food can be to my Nutrition class!

I hope you stole some of mine

[xrodolfox]

Looks yummy xrodolfox. How do you make the batter for the onion rings?

I didn't.
I just sifted for hours at the local supermarket frozen section looking at packages of frozen, pre-made onion rings, until I found some that were vegan. I think they were "Ore-Ida" or some major brand like that.

Well, they're vegan! And yummy.

[sponge]

That looks so decadent xrodolfox.

[jamboxrock]

Woah, Ore-Ida onion rings are vegan? 10 extra pounds, here I come!

[xrodolfox]

^ you've got to look in your supermarket, but at least one of those major brands is vegan in our neck of the woods.

Regardless, 10lbs never tasted this good.

[Cup'O'Tea]

I hope you stole some of mine

I believe I did, haha. I'm not sure what though - I'd have to look through all the pages again and figure it out.
Ah, this thread always makes my appetite go wild.

[Mahk]

Awesome job, Aradia.

[Mahk]

"I agree!"

[Stine]

My dinner... Chickpea cutlets and mushroom risotto

[cedarblue]

Ibuttercream

how do people get their buttercream to taste like buttercream instead of 'marg' or 'spread' cream?

[alisont]

WOW what a cake!!!

Me drooling now!!!

Any chance of the recipe?

[Enchantress]

Aradia, can I pretty please have the recipe for that cake? My boyfriend wants me to make it for his birthday tomorrow.

[AndyB]

Wow wow wow wow!!!!!! That cake looks indescribably delicious...

If a recipe is available, would you mind hooking me up as well?

[Poison Ivy]

Alright, this is very nearly the birthday cake that never was as I didn't start baking until about 6pm, which was after the first lot of workmen had been and trashed my kitchen and before the emergency electrician came to fix the socket wire that the first lot had cut and plastered over thus blowing the sockets in the whole house

Anyways it's the peach melba cake from 'my sweet vegan' and although the icing and jam merged and splooshed out when I put the top layer on (hence the pink seeded icing around the outside) it is VERY nice, lovely and fruity (I added some raspberries into the cake batter too) and makes a change from the chocolate cake I normally end up doing!

You're kidding me!
That looks incredible!!

[PaintedXSkyline]

mm. that looks really really yummy

[sponge]

Poison Ivy, that is one of the best looking cakes I've seen. I'm going to search for that cookbook at the library.

[Sluggie]

Mmm, that looks really moist Poison Ivy.

Stine, those chickpea cutlets look lovely.

[Aradia]

Aradia, can I pretty please have the recipe for that cake? My boyfriend wants me to make it for his birthday tomorrow.

no problem, PM me your email address and I'll email a scanned page to you..... same for anybody else who wants it.

[Stine]

Thanks, they were very good... My camera is making every picture a bit yellowish think I have to buy a new one... So expensive

[Sluggie]

You can get some good bargains at the moment, because camera sales are falling as a result of mobile phones having higher quality integral cameras.

[pavotrouge]

all those cakes make me want to bake all day tomorrow (which I probably will)


looks like you've put the gluten powder to good use, Stine. How did you like the cutlets?
