Testing Round-Up!
January 7, 2009 in Allgemein
A belated happy and healthy new year to everyone! Thank you all for reading my blog and commenting on my posts the last year. I enjoy all of this very much. Here’s to another year of cooking, eating, baking, and being vegan.
For some months now I’ve been testing recipes for the talented Celine and Joni. Their upcoming book will be full of delicious and innovative recipes, which are easy and fast to prepare, too. Some will let you experience new flavour or ingredient combinations and others will satisfy your comfort food cravings. Here’s a round-up of some of the recipes I’ve been making. All of them were really fantastic:
For breakfast or as a gift: Cookie Crumble Granola

Also for breakfast or as a snack: Sour Thymes (baked apples)

Another breakfast or snack: Jam-filled Soda Rolls

You want muffins? Here they are: Quinoa-Raisin Muffins

Or quickbreads? Apple-Sage Quickbread

Your mind says savoury snack? Curry Couscous Stuffed Mushrooms

Hungry for more? Aubergine, Lentils, and Rice Curry

A very colourful soup instead? Tomato-Quinoa Soup

Stick with the quinoa theme? Mexiquinoa

Want more comfort food or remember your childhood? Potatoes au Gratin

Or something every omni would tell you that this couldn’t be veganized? Soufflè

Omni still says no? Look at that texture, dude:
Celine’s and Joni’s book is not finished yet, but I already have an all time favourite: Mandarin Almond Cardamom Cake

Need I say more?
Don’t you feel so incredibly lucky to be on the tester squad? Everything is so amazing – and fun to make. And your picutres are out of sight! You’ve got some serious skillz!
OMG everything looks so amazing! I can’t wait for that book!
oh my goodness….nothing on the page that i wouldn’t eat myself!!
you are awesome. such treats overdose! hahahaha
YUM! I can’t wait!!!
How funny that we’re both testing, but haven’t made the same dishes! Also, I just re-added you to my reader- I had forgotten to add your new home!
Jam filled soda rolls – they sound right up my alley. And vegan souffle!!! That looks really good.
In fact it all looks so good, it makes my bowl of coco pops sitting next to me look pretty sad!!
There are going to be so many amazing cookbooks coming out soon… I can’t wait!
Chocolate souffle???? I’m drooling.
Can’t wait!!
Wow that looks good. Especially the cardamom almond mandarin bread. Sounds perfect for January!
Wow, you are the perfect tester! Everything looks so super stellar! The soufflè is amazing, how in the world did these two genii… geniuses… geniuseses… anyway, how in the world did these two Vegan Queens come up with a vegan soufflè?!
Each one of these looks incredibly gorgeous. I have a real craving for that cardamom cake. Have a very happy new year, Mihl, and look forward to more great blogging from you.
such wonderful food porn pics! :)
All of that looks just fantastic! I can’t believe the soufflè. Very exciting!
Ha! I was just trying to veganize potatoes aux gratin myself! That’s hilarious.
That apple-sage bread looks and sounds delicious, what a great flavor combo. And the souffle is truly scandalous! How can it be?!
Thanks for all the quinoa ideas, I love quinoa and I have so much of it here too!
