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.

Seitan O’ Greatness

30 April 2007

So I attended my last three classes of freshman year today. Now all I have left is around thirty pages of crazy philosophical stuff to write. Woo-hoo.

So I’m bunkering down in my apartment (until Friday, that is. Arcade Fire on Friday I got sick & sad & sold my ticket.). I’ve stocked up on tofu and veggies and lots of brainfood.

I even decided to kickstart it all by making my first loaf of seitan. And I am so glad I did. Not only is this stuff delicious, but it took about 10 minutes to put together (minus baking time) and had minimal clean-up.

I adapted this recipe to make enough for one (and to my liking). Recipe after the jump!
