You're going to love this because it's so easy and fun. It's ready in 15 - 20 minutes and needs little preparation. It goes well with rice, quinoa or potato and tastes delicious. The tofu provides a good level of protein and calcium and ginger has always been seen as a healthy gut food.

Viking Skause

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 12th of December 2022 Abstract  Skause is a Viking stew, which contained, boiled meat, vegetables and Mead , an alcoholic drink made from fermented honey and included spices (What Viking Diets Were Really Like, 2021).  I wanted to make something vegan that a meat eater would think of trying.  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.  I struggled to find suitable mock meats at such short notice. ...

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 23rd of December 2022   Getting frustrated with the lack of vegan options lately?  Well, this one is so easy to solve.  It has just four ingredients and is ready in minutes, and you can make it as strong as you like.  In addition, it goes great with Christmas pudding or Christmas cake and is fine hot or cold. Notes I used almond milk because almond and brandy flavours go nicely together. Keeps for about a week in an airtight container in the fridge. Check the brandy is vegan. Makes 5 – 6 servings. 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.  Take off the heat.

Garden Gourmet Sensational Burger

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 28th of February 2022 This is a truly magnificent vegan burger! The way it cooked was great, and it even had what looked like blood coming out of it if you like that kind of thing.  Tasted great and was like meat.  I had it with chips, onion rings, salad and made some bang bang sauce to go with it.  Some vegan burgers have that vegan burger taste, but this burger didn't.  It reminded me of the plant chef burgers a little.  In addition, I found it juicy and succulent and can't wait to have another one.  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.
