Having Fruit Baskets Delivered in London

It took me a pretty good while to figure out how to do it, but I eventually found the web site of fruitful office in England. I wanted to send my daughter something for her first day working at her new job in London. We sent her an entire basket of her favorite fruit, figs. She could never get enough of them and loved the fact that Maria and I had two mature fig trees in our yard. They produce three crops per year, so any time she came to see us we usually had figs ready to be picked if you were not afraid to compete with the local wildlife.

Vegan grilling guide

If you are vegan it does not mean there is no barbecue for you. Only if you are raw vegan. Otherwise there are lots of tasty recipes for grilling vegan food.

 

There are some interesting tips to follow when preapring veggies on grill

 

* Always start with a clean, oiled grill.

 

* Brush all the sides of the vegetables lightly with sunflower or canola oil. (Save expensive olive oil for drizzling over the vegetables after grilling.)

 

* Grill over a hot fire, but not too hot. Kafka offers the “four-second test” to gauge the temperature: If you can hold your palm two inches above the grill for a full four seconds, but no longer, the grill is ready for cooking.* Leave a little space between the vegetables to ensure even cooking. If the coals begin to flare up, move the vegetables aside and wait for the flames to subside before continuing.

 

* Use marinades to deepen flavours. But don’t leave the vegetables soaking in the marinade for more than a half-hour or so; otherwise they will get soggy.

Grilled Corn on the Cob with Chipotle Crema

8 ears of corn, husks on but silk removed

 

Chipotle Crema:

2 canned chipotle chilies in adobo

1/2 cup (125 mL) sour cream (use vegan version with tofu sour cream)

Salt

2 limes, cut into wedges

 

Soak the corn by placing it in a large stockpot filled with water. (Use the kitchen sink if you have to.)

Allow the corn to soak for 20 minutes then remove from water, shake and squeeze tightly to remove excess water.

Meanwhile prepare the crema by puréeing the sour cream, salt and chipotles in a food processor.

Heat the grill to high and close the lid. Wait 15 minutes and lower heat to medium high. Place the corn on the grill rack and grill ears for five minutes. Turn the corn over and grill for another five minutes. Remove from grill and let rest another five minutes, keeping barbecue on with the lid closed. Pull back the husks to expose the corn kernels. Increase the grill temperature to high. Close the grill lid and allow the kernels to char for about five minutes per side, or until they are dark and golden brown on all sides. Remove the corn from the grill.

To serve, slather corn with chipotle crema and finish with a squeeze of lime

Fantastic Vegan Pizza with Daiya Mozzerella Cheese

If you are vegan there is no reason for you not to eat pizza. You just eat vegan version. The meat is easy to be supplemented. What is really difficult is to find good alternative to cheese. Cheese ands specific taste and structure to conventional pizza. Vhat vegans usually use? Simplest cheese replacement is tofu. It looks similar to cheese but usually does not taste quite as nearly the same. There are tons of other better vegan cheese supplements but it is not easy to get them. Tofu is great vegan food and there are tons of good tofu recipes all over the web.

This great recipe for No-name pizza pie uses Daiya Mozzerella Cheese. It looks delicious and it should taste quite similar or at least as good as cheese on ordinary pizza.

image is from original recipe (http://www.weeatplants.com/our-no-name-pizza-pie)

So how to make this pizza?

First you have to make the dough, let it rise, etc. I was so excited to learn that they had a Kitchen Aid hidden in a cupboard at the house! Once risen, we spread the dough with wet hands on our pizza pan and placed it in the oven. With the crust in the oven for its first round of baking, we sauteéd the onions with olive oil until they were well done. After 8 minutes it was time to add the toppings to our half-baked crust. We began with an even coating of pizza sauce, followed by a layer of spinach. I would have loaded it on but Carl was afraid the spinach wouldn’t “shrink down”. This is a common fear he has whenever we use spinach and one that never actually pans out. Next came the onions, jalapeños and white beans.

Check out original pizza recipe for detailed instructions.

IMHO this looks perfect and it is a must to try it. Unfortunatelly Daiya Mozzerella Cheese doesn’t seem to be available in Europe. So I can’t try it easily 🙂 I must find online store that sells it. Amazon seem to have sold them but it is not available at the moment.

Even with other vegan cheese  this recipe looks great. I will be making it soon.

What is Tofu Made Of? – Soy off course

There was a time when I was not vegan. I was totally against it and I didn’t care about nothing else but meat. Meat meat meat. What do you say? Tofu? What the hack is that?

What I was missing back then 🙂 I trully had no idea what tofu was made of and to be honest I really didn’t care.

But…. now I know. And now I don’t care about meat.

Tofu is made by coagulating soy milk with salts such as calcium sulphate and pressing the resulting curds.
