Thought this would be nice and we can maybe share recipes?

Made these cakes for the children today using marshmallow frosting (aquafaba).

@WatchingTheWheels85 your food looks amazing !!!!

WatchingTheWheels85 · 23/05/2019 20:57

@IveGotAlpen thank you! After a horrible day that has really made me smile. I'm raising my children vegan (I was raised vegan) so I do tend to bake an awful lot Smile

@WatchingTheWheels85 no worries looking at the pictures was making me so hungry , given me a lot of ideas for baking :)

How old are your children ? Do they enjoy eating vegan ?

WatchingTheWheels85 · 24/05/2019 22:17

They are 16, 12, 8 and 6. To be honest all they know is vegan but they are very passionate about it. They eat healthy most of the time but also they have pizza, nuggets, hot dogs, burgers etc. We are vegan for the animals so I guess that makes a difference because they know completely what the meat/dairy industry etc is all about.

Fried donuts which are a huge hit with the kids. Have never made them before I'm pretty impressed with myself

@PurpleDaisies it's roughly this recipe but instead of cauliflower I mash a large jacket potatoe with a dash of vegan cream. I also add 50g vegan butter and about 30g of cheese. I brush the top also with the 'buttermilk'and sprinkle sunflower seeds.

Doesn't look very appetising but I made my 19 month old some vegan snacks ! I am also going to make him some lentil nuggets and some pizza swirls for the week.

Sweet corn fritters and banana and apple porridge bars :)

@WatchingTheWheels85 your photos are amazing - wish I lived in your household haha! Just wondered how you make your seitan steak - we've tried it before and it was just too bready Sad any tips for making seitan much appreciated!! DH and I are also vegan for the animals :)

WatchingTheWheels85 · 30/05/2019 14:35

I have sweetcorn ready to make fritters today @IveGotAlpen!
Thank you @aliensprig I just wing my seitan to be honest. I base it around 2 cups of seitan whatever herbs that are suited to the style (I actually chucked in some gravy granules to give a meaty taste). Then in a jug I mix the wet stock with a 1/4 cup of oil, dash of soy sauce etc. Mix it all then wrap tightly and chill for at least an hour. Then I boil it in stock for 2mins. Again let it chill for at least an hour then slice and fry. You can also pull it apart to make chunks. For chicken style I add lemon juice, black pepper, onion powder and thyme.

@WatchingTheWheels85 also going to try your Seitan recipe 😋 thanks for posting.

That was supposed to say 2 cups of vital wheat gluten. I buy in bulk from amazon.

Sweetcorn fritters (I added cheese and nutritional yeast and mixed with soya cream). We add nutritional yeast to everything the children have and their b12 levels and iron are very high.

My first time making cashew cream for my pizza! It was SO good ! Like how I remember having ricotta on a pizza !!! I never realised how easy it was either !

I also put a bit of Morrison's own vegan cheese on, tomato base, vbites ham, pepper, mushrooms, onion and sweet corn. With some paprika , mixed herbs and ground pepper.

This was my cheat meal for the week !

@WatchingtheWheels85 AMAZING! I bet your daughter was delighted! Happy birthday mini wheels!

@IveGotAlpen do you have a recipe for the cashew cream? I like the sound of that!

@WatchingTheWheels85 the cake looks amazing !

WatchingTheWheels85 · 14/06/2019 13:31

Some cupcakes I made yesterday for my daughter and her friend. Rainbow sponge with buttercream. If you use a small amount of vegetable suet in the buttercream it holds and sets amazing plus it halves the sweetness.
