Ehhhh welll it’s no secret my attempt at vegan MoFo this year was rather slack. So many plans, so many last minute spanners in the works that just saw my MoFo plans fizzle out. I did enjoy MoFo though because I discovered Australian blogs I hadn’t read before and I’ve enjoyed every single one.
Melbourne, being Melbourne, has really given us the four seasons in one day recently. We’ve had some beautiful spring days and crazy winds last night causing power outages and all sorts of annoyances. At least it’s good kite flying weather and Husband is a kite flying expert. Me, I do the running around stupidly in a circle getting the string all wound up.
Okay, time to put on my food face. Another gush-worthy recipe I’ve mentioned before is Dreena Burton’s BBQ Sunflower Tofu which Arthur loves. I make a batch of this for him and he asks for seconds. He likes the little marinadey bits:
I’ve been making the Lemon Meringue Pie smoothie from ‘Eat Raw, Eat Well’. Yep, this tastes as good as it sounds:
Aaaand here’s my big flop. It’s a raw banana pie from Brendan Brazier’s ‘Thrive’ book. I don’t know what I did wrong, but my base was really crumbly and I’m sure I followed the recipe. The filling part was good but I should have taken more care. I didn’t make the topping but I had some cashew cream and used that. It was okay but I found the taste of sunflower seeds a little much. i would make it again though with some little changes. And take a much better photo:
I made another batch of Singapore Style Noodles I blogged about previously. This time I used mock duck (made from wheat, with a bbq flavour) and tofu puffs:
I’ve been making the Raised Waffles recipe from Isa’s ‘Vegan Brunch’. Arthur really likes these, though I prefer the cornbread waffles. Still, it’s fun making this yeast version. I plopped some coconut cream on mine and coconut sugar. Yes, this was the last-of-the-batter waffle:
During the week I just forgot to take photos. Or I did take some photos of stuff and deleted them somehow. Now I will just have to make citrus coconut pie all over again! See you then 😉
