OKRA MASALA


Just a quick one today and the last in the series of Vegan Eats World pics, I promise. I have lot's of exciting new posts in the pipeline and feel excited to share all my ideas with you.

I had to share this last dish as I love okra, I usually make it in a standard tomato and onion sauce but the masala was an interesting twist and added a whole new dimension to my idea of okra! I would never have thought to put the two together but it works perfectly, the okra makes this a substantial vegan meal while the spices and comforting (optional) brown rice, make this an ideal Winter warmer.


On a side note I'm currently recovering from a chest infection so I'm craving lots of healthy food, now more than ever - and strangely lots and lots of tomatoes.  This dish was great for that, it was also relatively quick and easy to make so this one will be going in my book of favourites for sure.

PAD THAI


Here she goes again with another Vegan Eats World recipe post, sorry guys I just can't get enough! The more I use this book the more I want to make, which is great for me as I'm a lazy cook! This one was a bit of a tough recipe as there's a lot to coordinate - think chopping, stirring and boiling all at the same time. However I'm sure your all much more coordinated than me in the kitchen and the extra effort is so worth it for a wow factor meal. This one's sure to impress at dinner parties especially when you serve each one fresh off the wok as it's ready, authentic style! 

We sadly overcooked our noodles on this one, we left them in the water far too long so they became quite dense and heavy (you can see from the mass pile of noodles on our plate!). So long as your quick on your feet with this dish and follow the recipe it should turn to perfectly, the flavours are amazing. Like all good pad thai's the crushed peanuts, beansprouts and lime were used to garnish the plate at the end, we decided to omit the spicy greens and avocado as the dish has so many flavours already (maybe if our portions were smaller we might have been able to manage it huh!...). 


I'm more than willing to give this another whirl as Pad Thai is a fav of mine so would like to perfect it. Let me know if you've used the Vegan Eats World recipe book before and what your fav dishes are, or perhaps you have another awesome pad thai recipe to share?

VEGAN EATS WORLD

Vegan Eats World by Terry Hope Romero

I had to share with you my new recipe bible that is Vegan Eats World. This book came into my life recently and I'm so glad it did as I haven't been able to stop cooking/drooling over it's pretty plant based pictures ever since. 

This food is comforting, wholesome, filling and really flavourful. The instructions are clear and easy to follow and with over 300 international recipes there's bound to be something to take your fancy on any given day of the week.

Here are 3 of my favourite dishes so far:

Eggplant Shakshuka with Green Tahini Sauce

Egyptian Lentil Soup  

 Tofu and Potato Adobo Stew

This weekend I'll be making a Pad Thai from the book but what I really can't wait for is the dessert section (insert smug emoticon here). If this lot is anything to go by then they're bound to be incredible! Does anyone have any recommendations?
