Focaccia is great Italian bread that is easy to make and will impress any dinner guests. It is light and soft with amazing bubbles, texture, and taste.

Being as meat eaters, especially men, see themselves as being a little on the wild side, I needed something that would appeal to the old world fun vibe. So, when I was looking through old recipes for inspiration, the Viking food immediately jumped out at me. Bearing in mind I need to appeal to both vegans and especially non-vegans, the mock meat had to be good. Unfortunately, the mock meat I intended to use, Naked strips, was not available, so I had to improvise. This resulted in the idea to add three different types of mock meat to the dish.

Time, 10 minutes. Ingredients 400 ml of vegan milk 60 g of sugar 25 g of cornflour 6 tbsp of brandy Method Except for 2 tablespoons of the vegan milk, boil the milk with the sugar while stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
