Walnut Brownie Energy Bites

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 11:51:08 -0400

Found this recipe at deliviouslivingmag.com. I haven't tried it, but I've seen recipes like it and wanted to put it here for safe keeping. The brownie bites are super healthy and I think they should be super delicious too. These are essentially raw brownie bites. Here's what it says on the website about them "Decadent and rich, these are made with good-fat almonds and antioxidant-laden cacao and sweetened with fiber-rich Medjool dates. They provide whole-food nutrition, so enjoy as a snack or treat. These can be kept at room temperature for a couple of days or will keep for at least a week refrigerated. Ingredient tips: Bobs Red Mill makes almond meal (flour), but if you cant find it, just use whole raw almonds and process them into a powder using your food processor. Prep tip: Keep batter from sticking to your hands by lightly coating them with coconut oil, olive oil, or even water." -- posted by dimply dots

Seviyan - Sweet Asian Vermicelli (Toasted)

Mon, 17 Aug 2009 13:03:34 -0400

There are many, many versions of Seviyan (& spelling), you will find it differs from house to house & of course there are regional variations. Seviyan is the name of the toasted vermicelli used to make sweets aswell as savoury dishes in countries such as Pakistan & India. It is eaten throughout the year but comes into it's own during Ramadan. This is great fro Suhor (the morning meal before dawn) or as a desset after Iftar (the evening meal). I also like to make this a little drier & reduce the sugar somewhat. Recently I discovered that it's fun to swap the almonds & pistachios for a handful of prepared 'tropical fruit & nut mix' like you find in the health food shops & supermarkets). Seviyan is easy to find in most Asian supermarkets as well as the international isle in your regular supermarket - where it'll be sold as Pakistani Vermicelli. I most recently bought mine from Tesco in the UK - 2 packs for 50p -- posted by Um Safia

Raw Blueberry Bars

cool, refreshing sweet raw treat. This recipe uses psillium for a thickener so it isn't as high in fat as other raw treats This recipe also uses raw milk yogurt.

Homemade Soy Vanilla Ice Cream

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 01:23:39 -0400

Need a healthier alternative to regular ice cream that is easy to make? My family (including the meat and dairy lovers) loved this ice cream, and no one would have known that it didn't have milk or eggs! You can top it however you want, and experiment with the ingredients (we've made blackberry ice cream, strawberry ice cream, healthy chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, healthy or "fake" butterfinger ice cream), etc.! You can make blizzards (aka Frosty or shake) by briefly blending it a bit in a blender. This recipe is perfect for experimenting! -- posted by Glorify.Jehovah

Yum Yum Yo Yo Biscuits

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 01:49:14 -0400

Adapted from a recipe I found on the Simply Great Meals website. Faced a dilemma in settling on a name for these. They are n-e-v-e-r called Yo Yo Biscuits, just Yo Yos... the Simply Great Meals website called them Yo Yo's, but the apostrophe makes no sense, and without the apostrophe the name looks like Yo YOS - which sounds silly and is NOT what they are known as! Conversions: 150g = just under 5oz; 60g = 2oz. Personally, I'd prefer to omit the food coloring. Not anti-pink, just prefer to avoid unnecessary chemicals. Seems to me that even a 1/2 teaspoon of cherry juice would achieve the pinkness if that's what you're after. The slivered almonds are not generally found in a traditional Yo Yo: I've added those. I'm of the belief that yummy nut never goes astray, be it in sweet or savoury dishes. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

No-Bake Lemon Slice

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 02:16:41 -0400

This no-bake slice can be made in a just a few minutes, although it does need time to set before it is ready to be eaten. NOT for those who don't like lemons but for the rest of the world, great for lunch boxes, picnics or potlucks! Another recipe I've adapted from one I found on the Simply Great Meals website. The conversions you may need: 125g = 4oz; 400g = just under 13oz; 250g = 8oz. Marie biscuits are a plain sweet biscuit. You could also use Granita biscuits or shortbreads.

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Vegan Cookies

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 02:27:45 -0400

Hearty, heavy, comfort food vegan cookies! So good as a treat, but I usually have two for breakfast and it gives me energy all day! They are chewy and dry, more like a scone than a cookie and really good with tea or juice! I make them big enough so that I only get 8 cookies out of the batch, but you could make them smaller and probably cook them a few minutes shorter. I adapted this recipe from a vegan tea cookie recipe in a magazine. -- posted by theresa913

Rich Mallow and Honey Almond Fudge

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 10:31:39 -0400

Ive adapted this recipe from one I found on the Simply Great Meals website. The original recipe uses pistachios; Ive used honey-roasted almonds. Obviously, you could use whatever nuts you fancy or a mixture of several different nuts. Once youve melted your chocolate, butter and marshmallows, no more cooking is required. Great for lunchbox snacks, picnics and potlucks! For the best results, use top quality chocolate rather than cooking chocolate. Ive suggested Lindt, and if you choose one with orange or peppermint chips, youll add another subtle flavour. Ive wondered also about using a fruit juice instead of the water but havent tried this yet. The conversions you may need: 90g = 3oz; 250g = 8oz. -- posted by bluemoon downunder

Chocolate-Orange Cake

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 10:23:57 -0400

I love this cake for several reasons. I love chocolate and orange together, I love cake in general, and sometimes I like to cook without eggs or other high-allergen foods just to keep my game up, although this cake does require yogurt so probably can't be made vegan . I found the original recipe on a blog by Shyamala Ramanathan-Edwards http://srefoodblog.blogspot.com/, who based her recipe on one from the eggless baking book by Cintia Stammers, published by the Bhaktivedanta Trust. Then I put chocolate in it. I have never made the orange-sultana (raisin) filling, instead using (eggless) orange curd such as http://www.recipezaar.com/fresh-orange-curd-357753 and/or chocolate ganache. -- posted by Shoga-chan

Agios Fanourios Cake - Fanouropita (Spiced Raisin Cake No Eggs)

Wed, 26 Aug 2009 10:53:41 -0400

Aghios Fanourios or Saint Fanourios is a byzantine saint who is believed to have lived around the 4th century. It is a Greek Orthodox custom to bake a cake in his honour on August 27th, cut it in small pieces and to share iit with the rest of the church congregation who, in turn, will eat it and say "May God forgive Agios Fanourios' Mother". It is a delicious cake with no eggs or butter. This recipe has been in my family for decades. Hope you like it ! -- posted by Mary Ts

Anzac Cookies (Vegan)

Mon, 31 Aug 2009 11:49:20 -0400

This is a modified version of the recipe from Baking: A Commonsense Guide. When they first come out of the oven, they're chewy and delicious. When they cool, they become crisper, ideal for dunking in coffee or tea. (And of course they're still delicious.) I added allspice just because I like it. If you use sweetened coconut, you can probably cut back on the sugar some. -- posted by dreabakes

Super Sneaky Brownies

Wed, 02 Sep 2009 03:17:23 -0400

This is an even sneakier version of the "sneaky chef" brownies by Missy Chase Lapine. It is made with some of her "purple puree" but also utilizes black beans, which is a trick from Weight Watchers. No added fat to this recipe! No cholesterol! And if you omit the chocolate chips, it is vegan. It makes a very good, not overly sweet, cake-y brownie. NOTE: the purple puree part of the recipe makes a good 1 1/2 - 2 cups. This recipe uses only 1/2 cup, so reserve remainder for another use. It freezes well. -- posted by Susiecat too

Nut and Egg Free Cookies

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 16:11:47 -0400

These cookies are sure to be safe in any school! And taste awesome too! One of our children started at a new school this year and it turns out to be a nut and egg free school because of the seriousness of the allergies that some of the children that go there have. As a result my wife started scouring different recipes for snacks that were egg and nut free to send along with our daughter for school. She didn't really like any of the ones she tried so she ended up creating her own out of a combination of all the cookie recipes she tried. Hope you enjoy them as much as we do. -- posted by Chef Ryoni

Griswold Inn Indian Pudding

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 11:36:37 -0400

The Griswold Inn, built in 1776 in Essex, Connecticut, has promised first-class accomodations to travelers since the stagecoach-steamboat days. This traditional molasses-rich dessert isn't as popular as it used to be, but it remains a very tasty treat. Despite the title, early New England settlers did not adapt this recipe from native Americans: 'Indian' refers to the 'Indian meal' used - cornmeal, as wheat flour wasn't available.

Vegan Lemon Loaf/Bread/Cake

Fri, 18 Sep 2009 16:32:13 -0400

I'd really say this is a lemon loaf, but it is more cakey, than it is bread-y--that's for sure! The brown sugar in this recipe gives it a richer, more buttery taste and all of my non-vegan friends were shocked that this didn't have a drop of dairy in it. This is an adapted and doubled recipe from a Moosewood recipe and although it's not amazingly healthy, it is so yummy that it's silly...! -- posted by MellyLou

Berry Yoghurt Smoothie

Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:55:23 -0400

I got this recipe from Sarah Owen's book "The Top 100 juices", published by Lifetime Distributers, Castle Hill, Australia. Sarah Owen says "The super-nutrient vitamin C is needed for more than 300 diferent processes in the body, but it is easily wiped out by smoking, pollution and stress. Found in abundance in berries, vitamin C and other antioxidants help to quash the damaging free radicals that are associated with many illnesses." The original recipe calls for natural bio yoghurt to be used, but any yoghurt will do. This makes a large amount of smoothie, and if you're making it just for yourself, I'ld recommend halving it. I hope you enjoy this healthy - but still tasty - smoothie :) -- posted by TALIA #3

Chef Joey's Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies

Don't you just hate it when you come across a great cookie recipe and the instructions are lacking? I sure do. This recipe was one of those. Not to be discouraged, I made these and now can impart what I learned. These cookies are very chewy. Make sure you flatten them to about 1/4" as they don't really spread, but they do rise. Their flavor is very mild even with the chips, nuts and seed additions. The batter is very stiff. I have a little tablespoon measure made by chip clip that has a rubber bottom so I can pop the batter out without it sticking. These cookies would be great dunkers! -- posted by Chef Joey Z.

Top it with your favourite frosting, or just sprinkle powdered sugar on it to 'finish' it for the table.I love the recipe as I alway seem to be out of milk and eggs, so this recipe suits my house!

Another yummy spoon sweet recipe! This particular recipe is from figbaywine.blogspot.com***************************************************************************************"This description of what a "spoon sweet" is is from "The World Of Greece: Odyssey" Magazine - May/June 2008 issue. "Syrup-laden baklavas, karydopitta, or even the thicker, cakey ravani-style desserts are served on holidays and special occasions, but the everyday sweet is customarily a spoonful of a glyko koutaliou. To this day, spoon sweets are a traditional offering, literally a sweet welcome for visitors into the Greek home, whether theyve come for a chat or on a more formal occasion. Spoon sweets are also served at the village kafeneion, a teaspoon-sized serving on a small dish set before the guest or visitor with a glass of iced water and a cup of strong Greek coffee. Traditionally each household put up their own spoon sweets according to the availability of fruit in season. Sweets were made in small quantities, usually to recipes handed down from one generation to the next." * * * ************************************************************************************** Keeps in the fridge for 4 6 months. -- posted by ThatSouthernBelle

The best vegan adaptation of a cheesecake I've had. I avoid any vegan cheesecakes that call for tofu because the texture turns out funky, and tastes, well, not like cheesecake should taste like. This variation is great for the holiday season! You can make your own crust or find a separate recipe for a cheesecake crust, but I wanted to save time so I just used the pre-made crusts. I would recommend the bigger "extra serving" pie crust because this yields quite a bit of filling. -- posted by J.J. Foxhound

Jewel Studded Holiday Fudge With Ginger and Cranberries

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 16:42:20 -0500

A delectable holiday fudge, which is the ultimate treat for anyone with a sweet tooth. This buttery, crumbly fudge is enhanced and made more festive by studding it with rich, jewel-like fruit. If you do not have stem ginger handy, you can use crystallised ginger or glace ginger instead. Making fudge the proper way involves using a sugar, jam or candy thermometer - or you can use the "soft ball" method if you do not have a suitable thermometer. Drop a small spoonful of the fudge into cold water, if it forms a malleable soft ball, the setting temperature has been reached. If you plan to make this fudge for gifts or to sell, pack the squares into attractive cellophane bags, glass jars or boxes and add a pretty ribbon as well as a label of ingredients. This recipe is part of my Old Fashioned Sweet Shop collection of recipes, sweets, candies, fudges, sugar plums and chocolates! -- posted by French Tart

Carrot Cake for Careful People

Tue, 01 Dec 2009 17:46:50 -0500

This is my highly modified version of Carrot Cake by Making Stuff. I loved it the day after it was cooked, I don't recommend eating it without waiting 6-12 hours. In fact, If you can wait a couple days, it would be just perfect. The texture and the flavors really benefit from waiting. This cake has a Queen Elizabeth Cake-like texture, because of the dates and coconut. It is quite dense and creamy on the inside, with a nice crunch on the edges. For the spice measures in this recipe : I went by eye, knowing the strenght of the spices I am used to use. These measures are approximate, and feel free to experiment to suit your own preferences. I don't recommend putting raisins or pineapple in this cake, because the acidity of those fruits prevents from digesting the starches well. This cake keeps well in an airtight container in the fridge. The preparation time includes the hand-grating of the carrots and the hand-chopping of the dates. -- posted by Blueberries and Mortar

Whole Grain Carob Brownies With Dates

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 00:26:24 -0500

This is a flavorful, vegan, ayurvedic, healthy and non-stimulating alternative to regular brownies, thus making them adequate to serve to your 9-year old after supper, without worrying about him running all over the house. This is a lightly modified version of Whole Wheat Carob Brownies by Chef #236857 . The texture is somewhat cakelike, but they melt in the mouth. Also, don't expect a date taste, since it is quite overpowered by the strong carob flavor. Instead of flavor, the dates provide here some creamy brown sweeteness, more delicate than other sweeteners. And they are quite economical, too. -- posted by Blueberries and Mortar

As a child, I remember my grandmother making this salad for me. I do not 100% know the whole recipe but this is all I could remember.

This recipe you could use any fruits but the ingredients I put down is what i usually put in my salad. Sometimes my grandmother would put some cooked shrimp inside and it turns out amazing! ] -- posted by BOOMBAMBONBON!

Famous Sugar Cookies

Fri, 18 Dec 2009 01:51:38 -0500

These sugar cookies are the most different, richest ones I have ever found. They have a killer amount of butter and oil, but worth the indulgence! You truly can "eat just one" of these babies!! For variety, I have added unsweetened cocoa or lemon extract, but the original recipe is still the best. It was given to me in 1986 by a lady attending a Tupperware party I was presenting!! -- posted by Chef #1485639

Best Glazed Butter Cookies (America's Test Kitchen)

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 01:29:49 -0500

The geniuses at America's Test Kitchen have created tender, crispy cookies that roll out easily. Cream cheesea surprise ingredientgives the cookies flavor and richness without altering their texture. For a dough that's incredibly easy to handle, this recipe uses the "reverse" creaming method: incorporate slightly softenednot meltedbutter into the flour and sugar (rather than first creaming the butter and sugar). If desired, the cookies can be finished with sprinkles or other decorations immediately after glazing. From Cook's Illustrated Magazine (November, 2003). -- posted by blucoat

Vegan / Eggless Royal Icing

Mon, 21 Dec 2009 02:23:12 -0500

I found this on the Wilton forums when searching the web for an eggless royal icing substitute. I made a batch this morning and used it to assemble a gingerbread house. The pieces stuck together easily, the icing isn't running, and the roof isn't slipping at all. I'm very pleased! (Note: I'm posting the recipe as I found it, but I had to add an extra tsp of liquid - I used water, total of 3 tsp - as it was very pellet-like at first.) -- posted by CookingForThree

Caramel Crumb Bars

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 08:28:52 -0500

This is an easy and delicious bar recipe with a light and flaky shortbread crust, a creamy caramel filling, and a crumb topping. The recipe is from the wonderful cookbook, "The Modern Baker," by Nick Malgieri and was chosen Top Cookie Recipe of 2008 by the Washington Post. It's Malgieri's favourite recipe in the book and it might just become yours too! Save the wrappers from the softened butter sticks to grease the parchment. Note that the flour measurement calls for it to be spooned into the cup and leveled off--this will give you a different amount of flour in the cup than the dip and sweep method and noticeably effect the texture of the crust. MAKE AHEAD: Store in an airtight container at room temperature if you are serving them within a day. Or wrap and freeze for up to 2 months, making sure to bring the bars to room temperature before serving. -- posted by blucoat

Light & Flaky Cinnamon Rugelach

Sun, 03 Jan 2010 15:18:14 -0500

The ingredients might look the same as other recipes, but the technique is unique and the "secret" ingredient won Tina Wasserman's reputation as a baker and is now one of her most sought-after recipes. (Tina is a well-known Dallas cookbook author, chef, food columnist, and cooking instructor.) The mixing technique of the mixer allows the cream cheese and butter to really combine and become light and airy. This results in a flaky, crisp, but tender, finished product. The vigorous beating of the butter and cream cheese before adding the flour creates a light, layered dough similar to puff pastry. Rolling the dough in confectioners' sugar to give a slight glaze to the finished pastry and helps balance the richness of the dough with the sweet filling. Make sure the dough is well chilled or it will not roll out properly. *NOTE: In general, it is not a good idea to use salted butter in baked goods. However, because of the lack of liquid in rugelach dough, salted butter is the only way to get the salt evenly distributed. (The addition of a little salt is important to the flavor.) -- posted by blucoat

Vanilla Vodka Almond Jigglers

Mon, 25 Jan 2010 10:52:45 -0500

This recipe for vegetarian-friendly, alcoholic almond gelatin jigglers (think Jello Jigglers meets Jello shots) combines vanilla vodka, uses seaweed-derived gelatin called agar-agar (as opposed to nondescript gelatin, which is likely to be animal-derived), and reduces paper/plastic waste (no cups). The ratio of water to alcohol is 1:1, so these jigglers are quite alcoholic! For better taste/less alcohol, you might consider reducing the amount of alcohol to 1 1/2 cups and increasing either the amount of water or milk to 2 1/2 cups (I would increase the milk, for more body and color). Of course, it's all a matter of personal taste and preference. The agar-agar powder can be found at your local South East Asian market. -- posted by Thuha
