Had a few extra bucks in my Amazon Payments account, so I sent my folks a gently-used copy of Vegan with a Vengeance. They loved the marinated tempeh/collards/ baked sweet potato meal I cooked for them during our most recent visit, and they had even remarked that they wanted to get a copy of the Veganomicon.

juice of 3 limes
8 oz vegetable broth
1 can lite coconut milk
chopped cilantro for garnishingAdd the oil to a pan. ( Read more... )

This is pretty amazing stuff. I used a recipe from "The Garden of Vegan" by Tanya Barnard and Sarah Kramer, whose cookbooks I ADORE. I wound up modifying it by making a larger batch, since I had 6 ounces of leftover tofu that I didn't want to waste. I'm listing the original quantities, since my larger version made a crap ton of mousse. This recipe ( Read more... )
