Vegans Of Faith

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 6th of November 2023      This is a handy little sauce to have in your repertoire because you can use it in so many ways.  It adds something different to the desserts other than just cream or custard.  You can use it in cake fillings too.  Simple to make and great tasting.

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 11th of October 2023 This dish goes well with anything such as potato, rice, quinoa, buckwheat, or couscous.  The sauce is as easy to make as it is versatile.  The prunes give it a sweetness while the vegan feta and onion blend their flavours together magnificently.

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 16th of October 2023 I learned to make this in my Nan's kitchen as a boy.  It is so easy to make and yet yields such splendid results.  It takes little time to prepare since all you have to do is peel the apples and stew them with some other ingredients for a bit the most time consuming part is baking it in the oven.  So, if you are looking for a popular dessert that is straight forward to make, this should definitely be on your short list.  Notes Self raising flour is fine if you have nothing else.  For some extra fun, add a small glass of sherry!

  Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 9th of October 2023   Although there are many great vegan meat pies on the market, I miss the homemade variety.  Since making a pie is so easy if you are willing to cheat, I thought I would put this simple but tasty pie together.  It has a puff pastry crust with a vegan meat and gravy filling.

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 2nd of October 2023   What better way to celebrate a festival or just the weekend than with a slice of English apple cake?  This cake is flatter than most cakes, but is spread out more in a larger baking tin.  You can cut it into squares or into fingers. Notably, it is very easy to make and so tasty!

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 25th of September 2023   This is one of those recipes I used to make with my Nan as a boy.  It was always a favourite of mine and would only be made on special occasions.  This pie has a great combination of flavours without missing out on the oily textures associated with this classic 70s pie. Notes I used crackD egg alternative for the egg substitute. I used this isn't bacon lardons. I used naked taste vegan sausages. I used ready rolled short crust pastry for the store.  I found using a baking dish with a removable bottom helped a lot.  If the pastry domes when you blind bake it, prod it with a folk.    Makes a pie with dimensions of  Time, about 30 to 35 minutes.

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 18th of September 2023 I don't know about you, but I love a bit of apple sauce with my Sunday roast.   With this in mind, why not make your own apple sauce?  It is quick and easy to make and after all, this is apple season.  It takes less than half an hour and only have five ingredients. 

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 11th of September 2023 Although I am not one to advocate for junk food, sometimes people like to have something different.  Pizza is by no means healthy even if it is vegan; nonetheless, it is fun to eat.  You can, of course, buy vegan pizzas these days, but it is never the same as making your own.  This is a great recipe for making a pizza base leaving only the toppings to be decided by you.   You have two options: Deep pan pizza base (Is like Italian flat bread and uses yeast) Thin and crispy pizza base (no yeast)

Written by McDonald, T.   |  Date 4th of September 2023 I love a great apple pie!  This is easy and tasty.  So simple to make and so easy to eat.  Admittedly, I used the pre made pastry from a superstore because it is vegan relatively cheap and very convenient for me.  The apples come from a local orchard, which I stewed with sugar and spices to bring out the flavour.  I used dark brown sugar, which gave it a distinct flavour and its dark colour.
