Crazy about vegan cookies

TofuParty — Sat, 18 May 2013 15:28:03 +0000

Recently we added a new member to our small family. It didn’t took long before I discovered our new friend is really, and I mean really, crazy about cookies. This is how I found him a few seconds after I put these cookies on the table:

I also realise now he only eat cookies and he prefers to have them served in big quantities.

Now I’m getting scared that he will never give me enough time to take pictures of my freshly baked cookies.

Featuring:

Thin & crispy peanut butter cookies from The Vegan Cookie Connoisseur

Chocolate Chip Cookies from Sticky Fingers’ Sweets

Mushroom stew with herb dumplings

TofuParty — Sun, 12 May 2013 14:56:21 +0000

Through the years I tried many recipes for dumplings. This recipe is one of the best:

Name: Mushroom stew with herb dumplings

From: Vegan: over 90 mouthwatering recipes for all occasions

Author: Tony Weston, Yvonne Bishop

Adjustments: I didn’t use shiitakes or cabbage in the stew and replaced the sherry for some ricewine. You could use cacao instead of carobpowder.

Also I cheated a little bit to have more airy dumplings. I used plain selfraising-flour instead of whole wheat.

Vegan Biarritz Cookies

In Belgium, when you have guests over during the day, you present them coffee and cookies. For this, they produce cookie boxes which contains a whole range of cookies. The cookies who always disappear first from the box are the ones with chocolate. Like the Biarritz cookie.

When I saw the recipe for Coconut Florentines in Get Real Vegan Desserts, I knew I could change these easily in Biarritz cookies:

Name: Vegan Biarritz cookie aka Coconut Florentines

From: Get Real Vegan Desserts

Author: Christina-Marie”Sexy vegan mama” Wright & William Maltese

Adjustment: top with flaked coconut

Comment: for more authentical Biarritz Cookies you would have to cover the cookies completely with chocolate

Tofu Scramble Enchiladas

Any dish that involves tofu scramble can only be delicious:

From: Cookin’ crunk

Author: Bianca Phillips

Adjustment: I used the tofu scramble mix from World Vegan Feast. And didn’t use salsa but instead used passata with 1 tsp smoked paprikapowder, 1 tbsp apple juice concentrate, pepper and salt. This worked but you should try it with the salsa.

Cornbread Waffles

I wrote it before, and I will keep writing it: you can never have enough waffles:

Comment: this is more a crispy waffle and I served it the traditional Belgian way with some powdered sugar. Next time I try these with some vanilla flavor added.

Irish Brown Bread Muffins

I know, these muffins don’t look like brown bread. Maybe it’s because I changed the raisins for cranberries. But who cares, they were delicious:

Adjustment: dried cranberries instead of raisins

Irish Stew with Potatoes and Seitan

Another post to celebrate the ending of winter. This is the kind of food they could give me all winter long. Even when they are as long as this year:

Brussels sprouts with pecans and dried cranberries

TofuParty — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 09:18:59 +0000

Now winter is finally coming to an end, I thought I should post a final dish with a typical winter vegetable: brussels sprouts

Name: Brussels sprouts with pecans and dried cranberries

From: Vegetarian Times Everything Vegan

Adjustments: replaced walnuts for pecans

Comment: this was served with Gnocchi in a ‘Cheezy’ sauce. For the ‘Cheezy’ sauce I used this recipe for an instant cheese sauce mix (it’s in dutch).

Sicilian Cauliflower Spaghetti

TofuParty — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 16:10:18 +0000

First time I used the Forks over Knives – The Cookbook, and I failed, because I added some fried seitan. Yes, I used oil, sorry:

Name: Sicilian Cauliflower Linguine

From: Forks over Knives – The Cookbook

Adjusments: spaghetti instead of linguine,

and I added some cubed and fried seitan.

The seitan was home prepared using the recipe for Beefy seitan from The Vegan Slow Cooker

Hot Cross Buns

I read somewhere that you’re supposed to make these on good Friday (we don’t have this tradition in Belgium). But I made them on saturday, so my daughter could eat some on her way to Paris.
