Vegans Of Faith

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Updated 26th of March 2024 While chatting away to the usual people on social media, someone announced she was making a peach cobbler, which inspired me.  I looked around for the tastiest looking recipes and could instantly see how easily veganizable this recipe is.  Unfortunately, I couldn't find any fresh peaches anywhere, so I had to use tinned peaches in syrup.  Nonetheless, the recipe turned out splendid, and I highly recommend  this easy to make dessert that goes great with vegan ice-cream or vegan cream.  For your interest, peach cobbler was popular with English settlers in America.

Sweet potatoes are actually sweet in taste and packed full of vitamin A.  Additionally,  there're orange in colour on the inside with a brown skin on the outside.  Notably, I find they cook quicker than white potatoes and are definitely softer after cooking.

You can choose what ever filling you like, but I will be using the Catholic vegan pepperoni filling.  While a New Yorker filling has just cheese and pepperoni, a Catholic vegan pepperoni filling has cheese, pepperoni, mushroom, onion and green pepper.  Although you can choose any filling, this one is one of my favourites. 

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 17th of October 2022 I first learned about tuna pasta bake as a young support worker in supported living and quickly gained a liking for it.  However, since becoming a vegan, I have not found a recipe for it that takes my liking until now.  You may have had jackfruit burgers or curry as it is sometimes used as a pulled pork substitute.  Nonetheless, it works fine as a tuna substitute in this recipe.

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 19th of September 2022      Rosh Hashanah is a Jewish festival for new year starting on the 25th this year, which is this Sunday.  However, whatever year it is or even if you are just looking for something different, let me introduce you to this traditional Jewish dish .  This dish can be thin or deep pan, but is always crispy around the edges.  Although the original recipe uses egg, we can make it vegan by using flaxseed as the egg replacement.  You, can, of course, use something like cracked or just egg, but the flaxseed is fine to use if that is all you have.
