Superfood Chia Chili from The Thrive Diet: Whole Foods to Thrive

Raw food still baffles me sometimes. This recipe sounded gross, but when all the ingedients were literally just thrown in a bowl and stirred together, I wound up with a totally tastey raw chili. Much lighter... read more >

How to Cook Everything Vegetarian: Simple Meatless Recipes for Great Food

Black Bean Soup : page 115

Mmm, perfectly flavoured black bean soup. My favourite part was the rum. I'm pretty sure I've never given anything with rum in it less than five stars.

This was a little too thin for my taste, I like my bean soups on the thick side, but that's personal preference and easily fixed next time I make this soup. I topped this with a little basil-cashew sour cream I made from the Artful Vegan, which made this soup that much more amazing!

Lentils and Potatoes with Curry : page 600

You'd never guess there are only four ingredients in here. Super yummy. The secret is the coconut milk. Nothing can taste bad if it has coconut milk in it.

Oatmeal or Other Creamy Breakfast Cereal : page 572

Gives the basic recipe for hot breakfast porridge, then a list of ten different ways to spruce it up. I made blueberry nutmeg buckwheat porridge!

Peanut Sauce, Curry Variation : page 795

This came out a touch too think and oily, but was easily fixed. Flavour was amazing, the curry and ginger really pumped up the peanut sauce. I served this underneath some deep-fried plantains and the sweetness really went well with this sauce.

Vegannaise : page 772

Great replacement for the store bought vegan mayo, which is really expensive. Next time I make it I will opt for the lemon juice, instead of vinegar. I think it would add a little sweetness this recipe was missing.
