Just a little porn I forgot about.

11 August 2007

Most of this is stuff I’ve been to lazy to post. I didn’t make any of these recipes up.

Did I tell you my biggest vegan chef crush, Lolo, is coming out with a cookbook? It’s going to be published the guys over at Herbivore. She has a slew of kids from the ppk forum testing for her. I’ve done a few recipes, but I’ve been lazy for the most part. This is her Crispy Sweet N Sour Tofu. I’ll let you know when the book comes out. It’s going to be killer.

So for my friend’s birthday/last day in town, I felt inspired to stay up all night so she could have the one thing she missed since becoming vegan — a good, homemade cinnamon roll. And thanks to rachaelrayforever’s cinnamon roll recipe, Brit got her cinnamon rolls. Warning: the dough for these rises twice, so you definitely have to have time to dedicate to these guys. But man oh man — they’re totally worth it. There was also a cream cheese icing involved, but they didn’t last long enough to get photos.

More porn after the jump.

Product review: It’s Soy Delicious! PB & Chocolate

5 May 2007

Never in my life have I been so happy to be sick to my stomach.

See, I’ve been sick since Tuesday. (Even had to give up that Arcade Fire ticket.) I haven’t really been eating solid food, but not until yesterday did it occur to me that ice cream isn’t technically solid food.

So this company that everyone raves about over at the PPK forums, Soy Delicious, has this line of ice creams that are “fruit sweetened” (which I’m sure is a total gimmick). The reason they’re so appealing to me, though, is that I don’t really like heavy, rich, stick-to-the-roof of your mouth kinds of ice creams. I like lightly-sweetened, fluffier kinds. So I figured something that touts a “healthy” sweetened would satisify my sweet tooth. And it totally did. I got the chocolate peanut butter kind. It totally blows my mind.

This is actually the first non-dairy ice cream that I’ve even liked. Most of them are way too grainy or fake tasting. This one isn’t at all. It’s smooth. The peanut butter part tastes like peanut butter; the chocolate part is kind of velvety and dark. It’s superb.

Next up: Matcha ice cream.
