Banana pancakes.
Used soy flour and self-raising flour and shop bought egg replacer. First time ever using egg replacer. I suppose it made a difference.

Loveinapril · 17-01-2021 7:33pm

I had spinach, chickpea, cauliflower and sweet potato curry with easy homemade naan. I pureed the sweet potato and that made a kind of sauce. I had a similar curry in the olden days and was trying to recreate it! It wasn't bad at all.

Thelonious Monk · 18-01-2021 10:44am

I made a load of this last night

https://deliciouslyella.com/recipes/coconut-lentil-dahl/

but used yellow split peas instead of green lentils, and replaced one of the cans of coconut milk with a can of mutti tomatoes. Also put in a load of chillies and peppers and onions. And didn't use the spices she suggests, just used a few dollaps of Patak's curry paste that I had in the press.
So actually I didn't really make her recipe at all but you get the idea!

This reminds me of the reviews on any recipe website. :pac:

"I followed the recipe exactly, but replaced the chicken with beef, and used ginger instead of garlic. I had no spring onions so I used carrots. I don't like chilli powder so I used cinnamon instead. I cooked it for twice as long at half the temperature. It was horrible! One star!!"

Hello from Misa, she is the Queen:

Ahh she's gorgeous! I want one!

Tar.Aldarion · 21-01-2021 12:17am

Here personality is amazing as well, she is an absolute boss. Spends her days chasing dogs in the park.

Pizza from Base Wood Fire Pizza, amazing. They gave my vegan insta a code for people to use as well - VEGANLIFE15 for 15% off. Will definitely be getting these again.

Tomato sauce (love that this isn't too sweet), vegan mozzarella, homemade cashew ricotta, sun dried tomatoes (and that these bring out a nice sweetness), wild mushrooms (and these bad boys are indeed wild ) & fresh basil.

White base, vegan mozzarella, sliced potatoes (Irish delicacy), red onion, vegan chorizo (dayum) and fresh rocket.

They also sell tubs of vegan oreo icecream and 3 doughnuts - vego, biscoff and lemon.

21-01-2021 6:17am

That pizza base looks pretty perfect and good sauce to dough ratio.

Like that they haven’t overdone the toppings either.

A rare find.

21-01-2021 10:07pm

Had some leftover lasagne so I put a bit of effort in to a side salad.

Salad - Roasted sweet potato, red cabbage, kale, rocket, 4 bean mix, carrot, cucumber, tomato, red onion and sesame seeds.

Caesar salad dressing is by forks over knives and the liquid can be altered to make it more runny or more like a spread (for salad wraps) -

https://www.forksoverknives.com/recipes/vegan-sauces-condiments/vegan-caesar-dressing/

Dressings is where it’s at for salads. I have lots to call upon and it changes the whole salad up instantly.

Tar.Aldarion · 22-01-2021 2:53pm

Spinach, vegan cheese, basil, garlic & spring onion ravioli in a creamy garlic, leek & herb sauce.

Made a quiche to go with the remainder of the big salad from yesterday.

Bourneville button, walnut & raisin banana bread.

23-01-2021 11:38pm

Willing to share recipe source for that bread Tar ?

Tar.Aldarion · 23-01-2021 11:52pm

This recipe https://www.thespruceeats.com/low-fat-vegan-banana-bread-recipe-3376508
Added the extra fillings randomly which decreases structural integrity but increases taste.

24-01-2021 1:02am

Yeah. I do sometimes lash in other ingredients like Lindt 70% or just top with cinnamon sugar for an almost burnt top crust flavour.

24-01-2021 12:04pm

Bake off is it ?

Tried that recipe and added Lindt 70% and walnuts.

Lovely with a coffee or on its own with a bit of butter.

I usually use oats (ground in a processor) when making banana bread so this is a nice change.

Tar.Aldarion · 24-01-2021 2:49pm

Going for some moon vibes with my broccoli soup, which was only amazin'

Will try that one in a couple of weeks.

The minimalist baker is great for using 8 ingredients or less in her recipes and most of her stuff is vegan.

A weekend breakfast during the week.

Tofu scramble by - https://www.noracooks.com/tofu-scramble/

With a side of the best vegan sausage I’ve tried yet which is, surprisingly, a supermarket own brand.

30-01-2021 10:11am

This restaurant is one of my favourite places to go.

A great inclusive and creative environment where you pay whatever you feel the meal is worth.

You can also choose to volunteer here too and many do as it’s a great place to meet people and especially if you’re new to the city/country.

They have suggested payment amounts and you can choose to pay a basic amount to cover the cost of the food or a little more to include the cost of rent and energy or pay a little more to allow someone else, less fortunate, to eat for less/free. You also don’t have to pay for what you eat if that’s what you choose.

We shared a Dahl and a tofu scramble.

French onion skillet lasagna by -

https://www.veganricha.com/french-onion-skillet-lasagna/

It’s a very very rich sauce so I added a bag of spinach and a tin of black beans.

Served, as always, with a garlic pitta. Heavy on the garlic.

Next time I’d use a chick pea or lentil pasta rather than breaking up lasagne sheets.

Chick pieces ( Iceland, soy based ) jalfrezi.
I fried pieces in cumin and tumeric.

RacoonQueen · 16-02-2021 9:05pm

First attempt at a nut roast and well...it kinda fell apart. :pac: But it still tasted delicious.
I put too much vegetable stock in and maybe didn't pack it down enough?
Also didn't really follow the recipe :pac: had no green lentils so weighed up replacing them with red lentils, yellow split peas or mung dal went for the mung dal because it's been sitting in my press for about a year and I never know what to do with it.

But sure, it tasted good even it it was in a pile rather than a slice.

Too full now for pancakes though

auspicious · 16-02-2021 10:01pm

^^
Looks fab.
I've only had nut roast twice but really enjoyed them. Very tasty but the store bought ones are too small for my appetite.

Mung dal, what a coincidence. I spotted it over on the Food thread earlier today with aloo paratha and jotted down some ingredients for my next Tesco shop ( Dunnes not great for ingredients. They definitely won't have hing spice. Tesco might struggle with that too tbh ).

Thankyouthankyouthankyou!!

I made a large pot of this, too, last night - I'm not a fan of lentils, I hate the black pepper-like flavour they have, but I had a bag of brown lentils in the press and I really didn't want to throw them out. I mis-read the instructions, though, so I ended up boiling them in water before I started the recipe. I couldn't find my jars of turmeric, korma or curry, so I added garam masala and an extra pinch of celery salt and garlic powder to the fresh garlic. I used coconut butter to fry the spices. No chillies or anything hot because I don't like food that bites me back when I eat it. One jar of good quality peeled tomatoes and one of full fat coconut milk. It was delicious yesterday, it's heavenly today. This is going to become ons of my staples recipes, from now on.

Yeah I don't have the correct spices now but if you just use any Patak's curry paste it works well too.
I use yellow split peas instead of lentils too, I love them.

I've made it twice so far, using different spices each time (combinations of whatever I had in the press). I had no cumin seeds, but the second time I added some fennel seeds, only I overdid it a little. Still delicious, though, and it's incredible how much the overall flavour changes depending on the spices used. It's very, very filling, too!

Thumbs up, big time!

Mixed leaf salad ( with red kidney beans, red onion, beetroot, sauerkraut, tomatoes, black olives, avocado, sweetcorn, Koko cheese, dried herbs ) and spinach and white bean Girasoli ( Dunnes). Dressed using tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic and balsamic vinegar and nutritional yeast.

auspicious · 07-03-2021 9:18pm

Beans and peas and veg. Simples.
Cranberry and mint sauce, red onion chutney and nooch in the gravy.
Lovely.
No pigs lived in a nightmare existence for it.
