Even more veggie haggis, and thoughts on satiety

Fri, 10/18/2013 - 20:49 — Eve

I'm still working my way through my new slow cooker cookbook," Fresh from the Vegan Slow Cooker" by Robin Robertson. Here is another tasty discovery, Black Bean Chili and Sweet Potato Casserole. It even includes a cheese sauce made with cashews and nutritional yeast:

Haggis?? Really??

Fri, 10/11/2013 - 18:19 — Eve

I'm exploring the recipes in Robin Robertson's "Fresh From the Vegan Slow Cooker." Imagine my surprise when I found a stuffed squash inspired by haggis, that notorious Scottish "pudding" made from the internal organs of sheep, wrapped in the sheep's stomach! I assure you, the plant-based version is really tasty . I'll never know first-hand how it measures up to the original, but it does satisfy the description in Larousse Gastronomique :"...an excellent nutty texture and delicious savoury flavour".

Our worldwide community, and a tempeh question

Sun, 09/29/2013 - 21:29 — Eve

We have two more joining our email circle, including our second Mystery Cook, Kathleen. The mystery is----where she is in the world! I wonder why people are getting shy about this. We have a little community going here and I think knowing where we all are helps us visualize our group. And it's fun to know if someone is chiming in from Singapore or West Virginia, Colorado or Germany. I keep a map of the world with stickers showing where we all are. Most of the time it is only those of us who gather for potlucks in Portland who get to see the map and sense the scope of our project.

This week's new recipe comes from our creative correspondent Christel in Germany, along with a photo in dazzling color. Her own original bean salad is not only beautiful to look at but makes a complete meal in itself. And, typical for Christel, it's very easy. Thanks, Christel!

Hello All,
A recent visit from Margaret, and an abundance of apples falling in our yard, led me to try this Apple Walnut Spice Muffin recipe. It was a great success, dense and flavorful:
