Its ds's birthday and we are having cake and tea. I've got ready made short crust pastry, and ready made puff pastry. Can I turn them into veggie snacks that can be made today and heated up tomorrow?

Get some veggie sausages and make little sausage rolls. Make a veg flan or mini ones. You could cook them today but would taste better fresh.

This is a lovely site for recipes.

oh veggie sausage rolls is a nice idea. I had a vague idea of doing mini mushroom wellingtons. Does that make sense?

its so nice your doing that-we went to wedding recently where only thing we could eat with those cheesy bread sticks-nice but not as main meal!

how about falafel balls,houmous dip with veggies to dip,homemade pizza slices.

Oddly, 80 per cent of our guests are veggie , so there seems no point in serving meat at all. Especially as its a tea party. Houmous and dip - yes. Aren't falalfels very hard to make? And pizza is a good idea, but I'm trying to not have too many cheesy things.

You can make little parcels iwth the pastry, with various combinations of feta cheese, roast vegetables, spinach. It's very easy if you have ready made pastry, just roll it around the contents and put in oven for a few minutes.

Felafel are easy to make or you can just buy them in any wholefood shop or supermarket.

couldron do ready made falafel balls,you could cheat!
weve decided next party we go to to take our own stuff and dress youngest ds in shirt saying no thanks im veggie as people kept trying to give him sausage rolls (meat ones)so i couldnt turn away for second!

Fennel, can I bake them today, or do I have to make them up and put in the fridge and cook tomorrow? My flat overheats very easily, so I want to minimise the time the over is on tomorrow when the guests are there. I don't mind serving things at room temperature, rather than hot.

kittypants, haven't you trained him to say in a very loud voice "we don't eat meat because it's not nice to kill animals". My dneice used to say this at parties, but as the family has recently moved into a farmhouse to live with an organic cow farmer dsis has had to swiftly reprogramme the child .

My own "veggie" dd1 takes any opportunity to eat meat at parties, she's a total carnivore when she gets the chance.

fennel · 05/04/2007 10:23

oranges, I don't know, I guess so though they would be best done fresh. Like all pastry stuff.

fennel lol at your dd!.ds2 is only 15 months,i will start teaching him that phrase!
