Feasting

super easy & crazy tasty kalamata olive & rosemary focaccia made for my housemate's birthday party using this recipe! (note: used plain bread flour instead of regular plain flour)

i placed the whole shebang into the fridge to cool & churned it in my ice cream maker the next day.

i bet it's because this cake is still amazing (taste, texture, not sinking in the middle) after being baked in an oven where the door does close & maybe you knew that somehow. there is an analogy about us being strong and powerful and witchy in there somewhere. miss you.

carrot cake with cream cheese frosting

mushroom & barley soup i made last week! i used maggie beer's recipe (here) but used white wine instead of sherry. perfect for a rainy afternoon.

a few weeks ago i made a smoked paprika soft tofu cheese that was so delicious spread on sandwiches that i didn't get to take a picture! if you're thinking of making cashew cheese i strongly suggest you make it a smoked paprika cashew cheese! or maybe macadamia cheese? almond cheese? so many possibilities.

* i just looked menma up & it appears that the bamboo shoots are fermented in milk. if you plan on eating here you might wanna ask the staff to make sure they're vegan or omit them from your order.

generous serving of tofu ice-cream from vegan's choice (113 king st, newtown): coconut and goji berry / black sesame. both delicious!

smoky tempeh (marinated in liquid smoke, maple syrup, water & chili powder) & peach salsa soft tacos!

i am really bad at recipes! if there are any food stuffs in particular that take your fancy let me know & i'll do my best to give instructions!!

vegan laksa with rice noodles, eggplant, broccoli, snow peas, carrot, vietnamese mint & thai basil.

outta my witch cauldron: vegan fettuccine carbonara with mushrooms, peas, spring onion, facon, white wine & a salty peppery garlicky nutritional yeast cream (but not enough of it because i ran outta soy milk).

rocket (arugula) and potato soup with polenta croutons.

super excellent hangover cure waffles with whipped coconut cream, mango, macadamias & maple syrup.

You’ll have to repeat this step about 4 or 5 times! If you’re making a small amount you can use a plastic zip-lock bag which you can squish around to break up ice crystals… but I’ve only ever made ice-cream using my machine… so I’d recommend doing some research. :)

crepes with almonds, home-made soy yoghurt & cinnamon, cardamom and vanilla poached apples and syrup.

i have been making ice creams all week & this is the latest effort! there is a scoop of pistachio gelato underneath the white chocolate one & peanut butter ice cream & lemon gelato in the freezer... & they're all disappearing very quickly!
