Since realizing that making sichuan food at home is easy and do-able i decided to tackle other restaurant-only dishes. so, DIM SUM. i am very lucky that there is vegan dim sum in Vancouver and I can go fill myself with buns and gluten for about 10 dollars but i wanted to see what was within my own culinary reach. First test was turnip cake, a dim sum favourite of mine.
again this is from Fuchsia Dunlop’s Every Grain of Rice (surprise!). I did some vegan tweaks on it, but i take little to no credit here.
since we got the BBQ up and running for Thor’s 10th birthday that’s pretty much the only way i’ve been cooking. hanging out in the yard, picking our vegetables, cooking em up, lounging around. summertime barbecue garden times. here are some good vegan grilling ideas and tasty treats we’ve been eating
pan! za! nella! this stuff is so good, who hasn’t been looking for a reason to eat chunks of bread in their salad? this is such a nice summer salad, filling enough to be a meal with lots of flavour. this makes a salad for 2 people-ish.
cooking pizzas on the BBQ is my new favourite thing. put a stone on there, crank it up and close the lid and then VOILA pizza oven! it gets insanely hot and makes the best pizza, with a slight grilled smokey taste.
