I’ve made a few more recipes by Isa Chandra M. over the past month but have been a bit slack with posting, so here they are all in one go.
Peanut Butter Criss Crosses from Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar. I won’t ever eat peanut butter on bread or toast but in biscuits I love it:
The Curried Peanut Sauce Bowl from Isa Does It. Yummm:
After trying the roast veg soba bowl at the Corner Hotel back in March, I had to make it at home. This time I followed the Isa Does It instructions to the letter and I was rewarded with the same delicious meal. I used both the lentils in the actual recipe but the next day I went for marinated tofu instead. I’ve also made this with more veggies added in:
Isa’s Vegan With a Vengeance is a great book but admittedly, not one I have used all that much. Not because there’s something wrong with it, more because I tend to stick with the latest cookbook purchases. You know, shiny new toys and stuff. Last week I decided to break out VWaV and I made the Ginger Macadamia Coconut Carrot Cake. Deeeelicious!
Some weeks ago I made the Marbled Banana Bread from Isa Does It. Clearly, my family need more practise with the marbling bit:
As I’ve cleaned up my eating (again) I won’t be doing much baking and I will be adapting recipes I use to be lower in fat, or making substitutions outright. I like that I can still use Isa’s recipes as a base and end up with something that is still super tasty!

I confess I find Isa Does it more tempting with all the beautiful photos than VWaV but I do love the latter too and have made a few meals from it but not for ages – I love the look of the marble cake and the bowls
the photos do it for me too, I tend to use the books with colour pics more 🙂
Love those bowls- my favourite kind of meal. I love that carrot cake too, I make it often with coconut icing- yum! Probably my favourite recipe from Vegan with a Vengeance
isn’t just an awesome cake?! I was a bit iffy about the crystalised ginger bits but they were great!
Oh yum. I’d forgotten about that marbled banana bread. It was one of the first vegan cakes I baked, and it was delicious. I’ll have to get my daughter onto it during these holidays.
It’s pretty good, next time I have to be more careful with the marbling so I don’t end up with layers of solid colour!
