I love this salad. It's light, little sweet and sour and 100% fat free. The majority of time to make this salad is taken up up slicing the mango. You can make it with in less than 7 minutes. If you have any dressing left over, use it the next day to make another salad. Check out my other tasty recipes and health information at www .monikakorngut,com . SERVES...

Do I need to buy a specific milk maker to make soya/nut/oat milk. Or can I just use a normal blender? I'd like to try doing this.. a friend has introduced me to this and it seems quite fun. Thanks

I was wondering if anyone had any good recipes for Quinoa. I've been just tossing it with stir-fried or steamed veggies. I also love using it with steamed Kale (or other) greens -- just some pepper sauce and I'm good to go. One tip: I've noticed that if I thoroughly rinse it before cooking that I avoid the 'earthy' flavor some dislike.

Many years ago (at least 10) the BBC Good Food magazine (might or might not have been the vegetarian version, can't remember) published an article about a family who were living on a limited budget and so had to make their own versions of things that most people just buy. The article included a recipe for "cheese spread" that involved melting Cheddar cheese...

Hi all, I recently picked up a fascinating cookbook, "The Vegetarian Hearth: Recipes and Reflections for the Cold Season", by Darra Goldstein. I have really been enjoying this book, as much for her evocative essays as the recipes and ideas. After a fascinating piece on vegetarianism in Russia, from Tolstoy's asceticism, to Natalia Nordman-Severova's...

One Indian ingredient that you don't see much outside of homes (or India) is "poha", or "aval" in Tamil, or rice flakes. It's made by parcooking and flattening rice, so it's similar to rolled oats, or wheat/rye flakes. However, since it's usually husked/polished (and, for that matter, parcooked) first, it "cooks" extremely quickly. In fact, rinsing and...

This is a pretty tame variant of mango or jackfruit with sticky rice; I picked apples because, first, I have some at home, but also because their tartness is Just Right for this dish. 1/2 cup sticky/glutinous rice (I used black sticky rice) 2 1/4 cup water small pinch of salt 1 tsp ghee 1 tsp sugar 1 small apple, cored and sliced into...

After mentioning a simple, tasty chana dal dish to one of my friends, I decided to make some for lunch. You can substitute basically any beans (easier with cooked; go with small, fast-cooking beans if using dry (moong beans, dals, etc.). 1 cup chana dal, dry a little oil 1 tsp mustard seeds pinch of hing green chili, sliced into thin rings ...

Made the spanikopita from _Vegan with a Vengeance_ (1) today, and it was good, but probably not doing it again. It wasn't so delicious that it was worth the work. Still, not bad, and it could be an impressive potluck dish. I preferred the salad -- tomatoes, cucumbers, and onion slices marinated for a few hours in a vinegar/sugar/salt solution. Tomorrow,...

Last night, I made a quick (see below) chickpea curry as dinner for a friend. It's kind of a pan-Indian polyglot of a dish, but it sure is tasty with some brown basmati. 1-2 Tbsp oil (I used grapeseed) 1/2 tsp cumin 1/2 tsp coriander seed 1 clove 1 small cardamom pod a small piece of cinnamon a bay leaf pinch of turmeric (opt) ...

I had a dinner party on the weekend and wanted to make a vegan chocolate mousse for dessert. I adapted a recipe on the Vegan Village website: http :// www .veganvillage.co.uk/recipes/mousse.htm which called for 100g chocolate, 250ml soya cream, and 1 Tbsp brandy. Well, I doubled the chocolate and quadrupled the brandy, and it was good. Kake
