As far as the fake meat debate goes, I’m skeptical. The long list of suspicious ingredients in the super-processed wannabes makes me nervous. So, you’re not going to find any ‘facon’ in this BLT! It’s made with beets, which, when fried, take on a crispy/chewy balance that resembles bacon in a non-creepy fashion. The curly [...]

These stuffed peppers are beautifully colourful and have such a great blend of flavours. The sweet corn balances out the hot and smokey cajun spices perfectly. They are pretty filling on their own, but made with smaller peppers or cut in half, could be a lovely first course at a dinner party. Ingredients: 1/2 cup [...]
Open-faced Creamy Bacon and Tomato Mushroom Melt over Toasted Ancient Grain Bread
Posted in Breakfast, Mains, Recipes, Sandwiches & Wraps, tagged daiya vegan cheese, Jenny Duffy, mushroom melt, tempeh bacon, turtle island foods, vegan, vegan recipes on October 20, 2010 | 1 Comment »
This hearty open faced sandwich is perfect for brunch or even a light supper. The creamy, cheesy mushroom sauce is savoury and comforting, and is a perfect counterpoint to the bright and fresh tomatoes and smoky tempeh bacon. Putting the salt and pepper directly on the tomatoes brings out their lovely, rich flavour. Ingredients: 1 [...]
Cranberry and Fennel Vegan Sausage
Posted in Holidays, Mains, Recipes, tagged cranberry and fennel vegan sausage, meat alternatives, post punk kitchen, vegan sausage, vegan thanksgiving recipes on October 6, 2010 | 3 Comments »
This recipe is a variation of The Post Punk Kitchen’s legendary vegan sausage recipe. We thought some poultry seasoning and dried cranberries would give this version that holiday feel. The backbone of the vegan sausage is the vital wheat gluten and mashed beans. From there the possibilities are endless! Check out these ones at the [...]

This simple Mediterranean-inspired dish is flavorful, satisfying, and made of all raw vegan ingredients. If you can’t get your hands on a Spirooli, you can substitute with your pasta of choice or just thinly sliced zucchini. I found a ‘Spirooli’ on Ebay for $39 bucks, and whenever I use it, I marvel at its simple brilliance. [...]

I’m going to share a little Vegan Project family favourite with you today. This is a dish I make a lot, about once a week. This dish is so convenient, using ingredients I always have on hand. Not always having zucchini, I often make it with just onions! It is deceptively delicious and captures the [...]

Feeling a bit weak or low on energy? After eating this yummy salad, you can practically feel the nutrients feeding your muscles (recipe below). The consumption of adequate protein is a primary concern to the discerning vegan. In fact, the most common question I get from other athletes is ‘how do you get enough protein [...]
Tofu Scramble

Tofu scrambles, if done correctly, are filling and delicious and rival any egg version for top spot at breakfast time, or any time! I’ve found the key to full flavour is those crispy bits. I cannot stress this enough-colour equals flavour! This simple scramble can be whipped up in 20 minutes, makes 2-3 servings and [...]

This is a super basic curry recipe. I cheated and used curry powder instead of the traditional custom blend of fragrant seeds that makes a true Indian curry. Don’t worry, I will soon enough post a traditional Indian curry recipe, but until then, this version is tasty, just a little bit spicy and simple to [...]

I love fried potatoes! Especially in the form of a latke. I made a batch the other night and grazed on the leftovers for a couple of days. The night of, I served them with pan-fried Veggie Beer Sausage and dollops of dijon and non-dairy sour cream. This meal is NOT low fat. But it [...]
