Vegan Effect

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 30th of May 2022 This is as close to a kebab as I can get.  The vegan pulled pork is pretty good and the whole thing is tasty and filling.  Pork used to be a favourite of mine years ago, so this recipe was something I was glade to come up with.  I had heard of jackfruit being used as pulled pork before, but I have not seen a recipe for it.  I had home-made chips and home-made pitta bread with it.

Therefore, if you are new to Christianity being green is as important as anything else otherwise you are going to look odd.  With this in mind, what are the top things you can do to be that green Christian that sets the standards?

Yes, lemon is a happy fruit, so if you need cheering up and you are partial to a piece of cake, this is one that you should try. It is easy to make and tastes fantastic with a lovely light lemon flavour. The sponge is nice and light with a pleasant lemony taste. In addition, the lemon drizzle is made with powdered sugar to excite those taste buds even further. 

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 2nd of May 2022 Pitta bread is so good and very easy to make.  You can make white or brown pitta bread then cut it open and stuff it with any filling that you like.   You can make it with any kind of flour, but I find it is best with strong bread flour because it gives a better texture.  This recipe is for the wholemeal bread, if you want the white, just replace the strong wholemeal with strong white bread flour.

  Written by McDonald, T.   |  Update 10 of March 2023     This modern English bread is like a combination of Hot cross buns and Italian Raisin Bread.  It has big fat juicy sultanas with a subtle mixed spice flavour of Hot cross Buns and, let's not forget, a wonderful crust.  The bread is light and fluffy.  As it bakes in the oven, it releases a fantastic aroma into the kitchen and beyond.  Once you have made this bread, you can just cut a piece off and have it as a snack with some butter and jam.  Enjoy!

Wonderful vegan cheese sauce covering rolls of pasta filled with a tasty mushroom filling. I will not be showing you how to make pasta or the cheese sauce, but I will show you how to make this fantastic dish in easy steps.  By the end, you will have a great dinner that you will likely want to make again.

Written by  McDonald, T.    |  Date 11th of April 2022 This is a simple, but tasty recipe that really surprised me at how good it is.  It has all the good bits that a hot cross bun would offer in that it has mixed peel, sultans and even mixed spices.
