Summer rolls from the ESPN Zone at New York New York.

i had a peek at your blog, very interesting to see all the other photos you've got on there!

[Gwydion]

Ronald's Donuts in Las Vegas. Ohmygod. That is all I have to say.

Flight to Las Vegas* from UK costs how much? Someone?





* I originally wrote Las Vegan by mistake.heh.

[Manimal]

I ate him and his siblings. The original fastfood?

[noodle]

Woah, some seriously yummy looking food on here!

This is my vegan spicy lasagne, just made it up as I went along, it was good!


Chocolate cupcakes with chocolate ganache and peanut butter frosting on top - yum! (I rolled balls of the leftover ganache in cocoa and made good truffles!) This was from "Vegan cupcakes take over the world".


Tofu scramble on toast.

[firstandthen]

Mmmmm, those cupcakes look delicious.

[RubyDuby]

that lasagna is making my mouth water.
would have loved to have seen an inside pic.

[noodle]

Sorry, i'll take one next time I make it, promise

Those cupcakes didn't last long, I tricked everyone by telling them it was vegan after they'd eaten them, so it was an unbiased tasting! Everyone loved them...next I am going to veganise my favourite chocolate cake recipe.

[RachelJune]

Dear God, I've only just found this thread and WOW!! Some amazingly fantastically wonderful yummy-looking food I'm so hungry now!

Does it ever. I know the author said they made it up as they went along, but can you give some general recipe guidelines? Such as what sort of faux cheese did you use, etc?

[noodle]

Yep sure! For the veggie sauce I softened onion and garlic in olive oil and then added sliced courgette and mushrooms, chopped red and yellow peppers, 1 tin of chopped tomatoes, 1/2 tin baked beans, 1 tbsp sun dried tomato puree, oregano, and 2 sliced birdseye chillis (seeds left in!), and simmered it while I made the 'cheese sauce'.

For the cheese sauce I melted 2 oz vegan margarine and a little olive oil, then added 2 oz flour, mixed well, cooked for 30 secs then slowly whisked in 3/4 pint soya milk, a little at a time, until thickened and smooth. Into this I added 1/2 block silken tofu and 2 tbsp nutritional yeast.

I used wholewheat lasagne sheets, and started with a veggie sauce layer, then lasagne sheets, then the cheese sauce, more veggie sauce, more lasagne sheets, and finished with a layer of cheese sauce. I put sliced tomatoes on top, sprinkled oregano on top, then added some slices of Redwood mozzarella style melting soya cheese, baked in a 190 C oven for 30 mins, and voila!

Thanks noodle, I'm going to give this a go in the next week.

[noodle]

Yay, it's good! Mine was a little bit runny so I will say watch how much 'juice' goes into the veggie sauce, maybe strain the tinned tomatoes a little

Here's some more...

Breakfast tortilla...wheat tortilla wrap filled with fried potato cubes, mushrooms, onions, and ketchup! Not exactly healthy but good for a treat



Vegan cottage pie...my OH made this for me, it was really spicy!


French bread pizzas, split french stick with sun dried tomato puree, garlic, onion, yellow pepper, halved cherry tomatoes, mozzarella style melting cheesly, and oregano. Super yummy!


Vegan chocolate cake..sooo good, I veganised this from a regular recipe, the secret ingredient which makes it really gooey and moist is...beetroot! (Grated raw into the mix)

[RubyDuby]

everythin looks great.

nice finale with the cake!

my digital camera broke.

[Aradia]

My dinner last night .... .a puy lentil bake ....

we've had really unseasonable weather here in southern France .. .a week of rain in August is absolutely unheard of! ... ... so some warm comfort food was in order

[noodle]

Yum...tell me about it, here in Cornwall we've had weeks and weeks of rain with about 2 dry days here and there, it's miserable for summertime!

[Gorilla]

wow, great looking cakes noodle and toffo!

[Aradia]

WOW!!!!! Toffo, that cake looks fabuloso! What is the white frosting made from?



Gwydion, I made it up as I went along, using up what I had in the fridge.

Saute up onion and diced veg (I used a carrot, some French beans and um, can't remember, maybe some sliced red pepper.

Chuck in some Puy lentils (or plain green lentils) along with some stock (you could use a splash of wine if you like as well as stock) and some herbs (I used dried herbs de provence).

Cook it all a minute or three, stir in some tomato puree and cook another min, then tip into a dish and top with sliced potatoes (that have been par cooked) and some tomatoes and courgette, or whatever else you need to use up. SPrinkle with some herbs.

Pop into the oven at about 180 degrees and bake for about 20-25 minutes.



Anyway, back to that choccie cake!!!

[jamboxrock]

Great stuff and I love your blog JBrocks, I spent a good half hour going through it this afternoon.

What's in the tofu salad? Tofu?

Normally I use firm tofu and vegenaise, but no vegenaise here, so this time I used: silken tofu, lots of mustard and soy sauce, celery, scallions, relish, turmeric, and baby dashes of curry powder, coriander and garlic powder.

fab food y'all!

that tofu on toast looks nice and moist, erin

Hahaha, moist it was. Perhaps runny, if you will. I put in too much soy sauce...

All the cakes look awesome! And breakfastses. And Noodle's french bread pizza, I want it.

[Kitteh]

I went to Pure on my b'day and had their Big Breakfast: tofu scramble, mushies, polenta, avo and toasted rice bread plus a rice milk latte, num!



Home-made waffles made w/ our new waffler! Topped w/ maple syrup, Turtle Mountain Praline Pecan ice cream, strawbs and bluebs



And choc cupcakes topped w/ Oreo Velvet icing that I took to my b'day dinner

[bexi]

Great looking food everyone. Those waffles & cupcakes look v yummy Kitteh... as does everything else tbh lol. And I'm quite intrigued by your beetroot cake, noodle - it looks really good. Too much lovely looking stuff to comment on in this thread really but I'm impressed with/jealous of all of your culinary delights :P!

[cedarblue]

hmmmm i might try a bit of g-f cooking, got a recipe for those cookies kitteh? those waffles look ****** fantastic!!!

do you silken tofu erin? how did you make it? i'm still trying to perfect the tofu scramble - i like it moist like real egg, not dry.

[noodle]

bexi - that beetroot cake it soooo good, it's from the "cook yourself thin" programme, which is decidedly non-vegan, but I changed the honey to light agave nectar, and the eggs to egg replacer, and made sure I used dairy-free dark choccie, and it tasted the same, so rich and decadent! I didn't frost it, it doesn't need it. Also I cooked it for 1 1/2 hours, not 2.

Here's the original recipe, just veganise! :

[Kitteh]

hmmmm i might try a bit of g-f cooking, got a recipe for those cookies kitteh? those waffles look ****** fantastic!!!

Yesm, the orig. recipe is by Dreena Burton - http://viveleveganrecipes.blogspot.com/ - but I use brown rice flour instead of wheat flour. I leave out the cocoa to make the white ones but I have made them w/ cocoa before, just as good. I also add a bit more oil or maple syrup to get the dough at a good texture ie. not to dry. Oh and I find you can leave out the agave if you don't have any on hand, but being a rawbie you probably have some! And obviously I leave out the mint choc. in the white variation!

[cedarblue]

yippeeee, thanks kitteh, i just bought some g & wheat free flour. will try later on.

i can't see the agave in the recipe?

i have baking powder, is baking soda bicarbonate of soda??

p.s. that looks a nice blog/recipe site, thanks!

[Gorilla]

yum yum Kitteh, your pictures all look lovely!

[jamboxrock]

hmmmm i might try a bit of g-f cooking, got a recipe for those cookies kitteh? those waffles look ****** fantastic!!!

do you silken tofu erin? how did you make it? i'm still trying to perfect the tofu scramble - i like it moist like real egg, not dry.

Oh, that wasn't a scramble, more of just a mash. I'm no scramble expert, but I've seen people use silken for that runny texture, I bet it would work.

[Kitteh]

Thanks Gorilla!

Maybe I read the agave in another recipe and yup B.Soda = Sodium BiCarb... I looked it up to be sure http://chemistry.about.com/cs/foodch...f/blbaking.htm

mmmm lasagne - i don't make it often, the 'others' don't like it too much

[confusionisben]

Thought i'd share these with you, as was a luscious meal: I've arrived back at my parents for a while as they are moving from old family house, and as i walked through the door i found my dad (the one man who did not understand my veganism) was cooking up a vegan lasagne for us to have. Roasted vegetables and a nice attempt at a vegan white source using free & easy cheese mix with fake parmasan sprinkles! Not only was it yummy but i was so unbelievably happy he had made such an effort.
