Written by McDonald, T.  |  Date 19th of December 2022

With Christmas just days away you will need to be prepared for your vegan guests.  Don't worry, in this post I will give you some quick examples of great tasty snack and bits that you can either buy from a shop or make yourself.

Menu

  • Vegan Chocolate Cake
  • Focaccia Bread
  • Chilli Hummus with carrot sticks 
  • Vegan Cheese and pineapple on sticks
  • Vegan pigs in blankets 
  • Bites 
  • Plum sauce dip

Vegan Chocolate Cake

Vegan cake is always a great choice!  You can have the cake with some vegan cream from Elmlea.  You can have chocolate chip muffins instead if you think cake is too much. 



Focaccia Bread 

Bread is nice to nibble on, so why not make your own Italian flat bread to impress your diners?  


Chilli hummus

Always a winner this one.  Easy to make and keeps in the fridge.  People love to dip carrots and celery sticks or anything they can into something, so hummus is definitely a good choice.



Vegan Cheese and pineapple on sticks

What buffet would be complete without cheese and pineapple on sticks?  There are many vegan cheeses to choose from including Applewood and Plant Pioneer.


Vegan pigs in blankets 

It is possible to get all types and different brands from different supermarkets nowadays, but these ones that I had last year are from This.co and were fantastic! 

 

I tried the plant pioneer Shroompumps in blankets too, which were also great!



Bites

I had these last year and really liked them. You can taste the sweet potato in them and were lovely in a dip.



Plum sauce dip

This dip is not just sweet and tangy, it is also east to make. Ready in minutes and will sit in the fridge for days.



I hope that you liked this blog and if you do try this recipe, please let me know how you got on and what it turned out like. You can leave a comment in the comments below.

Vegan Stollen

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 11th of December 2023   This is something I have heard of, but never tried before.  Usually, we have traditional Christmas cake in my house, but last year I wanted to try something different and this was it.  Rest assured, I will be having it again this year too! At first, it seems like a lot of effort, but you will soon see that it is straight forward to make and definitely worth it.  However, it will need proofing and the dried fruit will need soaking, which will all take time, so plan ahead.  Notes I used French Brandy Marzipan and so used brandy to flavour the raisins and cranberries. I used almond milk. A good tip is to dust the soaked fruit with a little flour before adding the dough. You have 3 options with the marzipan:  Roll it out  Chop it up Have a thick bar of it running through the centre I soaked the dried fruit in brandy, but you can make it without the alcohol is you wish or use rum instead. I used a silicon baking sheet to save on the

Rum And Raisin Loaf

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 27th of November 2023   Whatever the occasions, this is a great treat to be had.  The rum soaks into the raisins and results in a perfect infusion of flavours. The rum adds flavour to the raisins while the raisins add sweetness to the run.  This beautiful bread as a great bready texture, yet is fruity and warming to the soul. Although it doesn't need it, you can choose to dust it with icing sugar.

The preparation is mega quick because all you have to do is mix it all together and pour the batter in a loaf tin and it is ready to go in the oven. No yeast, so no proofing it is ready so fast and bakes in 45 minutes. The result is a sweet tasting cake that you can cut into slices and eat like bread. Notes Don't beat the batter or it will turn out tough after baking.   If you use Green Ginger Wine, be sure it is vegan.     Ingredients  Dry  300 g of self-raising flour 120 g of dark brown sugar 2 tsp of ground ginger   5 crystallised ginger cut into pieces 30 g of grated fresh ginger 1 tsp of ground cloves 1 tsp of mixed spice 1/4 tsp of salt 1 tsp of baking powder Wet 40 ml of vegetable oil  240 ml of water  150 g (about 4 tbsp) of plan or vanilla vegan yoghurt 50 ml of ginger wine 2 tbsp of dark syrup   Method Add all the dry ingredients to a
