So What The Heck Do We Eat? -- Day 97, Three Is The Charm!
One vegan cookbook is essential. Two vegan cookbooks are fun. Three vegan cookbooks are definitely the charm. You've got a whole world to enjoy now. I actually made three things out of three different cookcooks. Well, be warned first: my sweet tooth kicked in when I was cooking.
Spanakopita In A Pie (VwaV, page 91). I still didn't get any phyllo dough. I made the pastry crusts (Veganomicon, so a 4th cookbook?) better this time and used a little less lemon juice. My husband was very pleased with the result. He said it was better than the first time I made it.
Hot Apple Turnovers (Cozy Inside, page 75). This is the first time I have tried any recipe from this cookbook though I bought it like two months ago. This is an excellent dessert choice after a hard day. The turnover wasn't overly sweet or heavy. A very gentle touch on your whole body. I was really glad I tried it.
Mom's Chocolate Pudding (La Dolce Vegan!, page 207). I didn't like this pudding as much as I thought I would. It was very easy to make so I didn't mind it. It's probably just not my type of chocolate pudding. I was expecting something closer to the 75% dark chocolate, rich and velvety. But it wasn't quite there. A little too timid for my liking but it was still good enough to satisfy a chocolate craving.
Comments
I'm sorry the chocolate pudding didn't turn out as well as you'd hoped. Here is another veganized recipe. I haven't tried it myself, but these folks are great cooks, and its apparently a tried n tested recipe.
