Vegan Vodka Jelly Shots

I used Just Wholefoods Jelly crystals. I added a bit of green food colouring to the tropical as it has quite a weak colour. The yellow are lemon jelly crystals and blueberry vodka.

Back of a tin chilli kidney bean soup recipe

I followed the simple suggested recipe on the back of a tin of Sainsbury's Red Kidney Beans in Chilli sauce and was surprised about how easy and tasty it was. I added carrots and possibly another vegetable but it has been a while since I made this and took the photo.

We made bread!

The boyfriend and I. For the first time and it took almost a whole day because we messed up the recipe and added too much water at first. We used the basic recipe from 'Another Dinner is Possible' which I had got for Christmas. Halfway through, a friend turned up to collect something he had left at ours the night before and ended up staying to watch the bread making show. Despite it taking forever it was very satisfying. The bread was very dense because we had to add sooooo much flour. Next time we make bread again it will be perfect!

Valentine's Day was a while ago

Mini silken tofu quiches

 These were tasty but too wet. I needed to squeeze the tofu more before blending. EDIT: They were from Fat Free Vegan Kitchen!

Heart shaped sugar cubes

Mix sugar, food colouring and a little bit of water if needed. Use a cookie cutter, as I did or it might work with your fingers, to make shapes. Give to boyfriend who loves sugary coffee.

Vegfest 2011 (another late post)

This photo does not do Ms Cupcake's cakes justice. It was a lovely bright pink and tasted like a whole watermelon had been concentrated into one cupcake. Hers was just one of the stalls I visited. I tried to buy a cake or cookie from all of the cake stalls but this is the only photo I have from the day.

I liked the raffles. I won tofu!

I have my final uni deadlines coming up and I'm hoping to go to Ms Cupcake's new shop in Brixton after I hand my work in! That thought is keeping me going!

Hand in Treat

I have been collecting photos and ideas but not actually putting them on the blog. So for the next few days we will do a bit of time travel and I will post some things that I have done and eaten from the last few months.

So lets start with just after christmas.

I had to do an assignment over the Christmas holidays. It was so lovely to hand it in after New Years. I travel up to London for uni but normally only have time to go to lectures. This time as I only had to post my assignment through a letter box I decided to go to explore the Euston/Kings Cross area. I had heard lots about Vx on the internet after I had bought lots of vegan treats from the 'Secret Society of Vegans' stall at a vegan event. I got extra excited when I found their google map of vegan food places near their shop. It was terribly exciting but sadly very tiring as I was poorly and was losing my voice. Definitely worth the trip for the Ms Cupcake cupcakes. She needs to start selling them outside of London!
