Happy New Year! Frohes neues Jahr! Here is a great recipe adapted from “Veganes fürs Fest” by Heike Kügler-Anger that satisfies dairy cravings for panna cotta and is ideal if you want to make something special for vegan guests. It has a delicate scent of almond from Amaretto and bitter almond essence. Of course, you … Continue reading
Last month I was invited to a get-together and asked to help the mother of the host prepare the food for the buffet. She lives in a little wooden house at the back of a garden centre and you have to follow a winding stone path, ducking under low tree branches to find her. The … Continue reading
Due to a busy school schedule the first day of my vegan pledge (1st November) found me totally disorganised. I made the potato pakoras (recipe on this site) and a rather good carrot cake from this site: http://www.grouprecipes.com/44964/best-vegan-carrot-cake.html I didn’t have any whole nuts so I just reduced the amount of sugar from 1 1/4 … Continue reading
Another recipe from the German Thermomix recipe site. It’s nothing spectacular, just something you can get on the table quickly during the week. I veganised the recipe by using olive oil (but on hindsight I prefer butter) and soya cream. Oh, and I added a LOT more pepper to my plate and used more than … Continue reading
One of the great things about being a teacher is that occasionally you get a postcard out of the blue from an ex-student who is studying or working somewhere outside Germany and wants to tell me what he or she is up to. It’s amazing in what ways they further their studies, their vocational training … Continue reading
I’d heard of emmer before from other internet sites but had never used it before. You’ll find the recipe that I used under http://www.shipton-mill.com/the-bakery/recipes/article-28/. You need to mix the ingredients for the starter the day before baking. Make a soft dough from the following ingredients and leave to rise overnight at room temperature in a … Continue reading
One of the weird things about blogging here is that you can see which search terms directed internet surfers to your blog. Today’s results were “Hungarian women” and “einkorn pizza dough from the bread machine.” Can’t help anyone with the Hungarian women, sorry, but maybe I can help you with a recipe for einkorn pizza … Continue reading
This recipe has been adapted from one I found on the following internet site http://theflyingapple.typepad.com/tdr_blog_deutsch/2012/01/an-apple-a-day.html#more. I have made the cake vegan by simply replacing the eggs with egg replacer and using soya milk instead of dairy milk. Ingredients: 1 kg apples (700g net) 1 organic lemon (juice and zest) 2 tsp egg replacer with 4 tbsp … Continue reading
This is my first time using the grain einkorn and after I had received my delivery of organic grains yesterday I started to search for a super easy recipe that ideally could be kneaded in the bread machine before being baked in the oven. An article by the blogger livelonger (http://livelonger.hubpages.com/hub/all-Einkorn-Bread-Recipe) really helped me out. … Continue reading
Yet another review of a vegan recipe developed by Roland Rauter and published on his website under ttp://rolandrauter.wordpress.com/2011/10/02/kartoffelgulasch-mit-pilzen-und-hausgemachtem-kummelbrot/ (Photo of my finished dish follows!) I’m married to a Hungarian and I was a bit apprehensive about serving a meatless goulash (really it’s a pörkelt because gulyás in Hungary is the soup, pörkelt is the stew), especially … Continue reading
