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

Quick Whole Wheat and Molasses Bread : page 689

This recipe was as quick and easy to prepare but we found the molasses flavour to be extremely overpowering. After my daughter and I tasted a few bites of the warm bread my husband was left to eat the entire loaf. It does have an appealing and hearty appearance and I might make it again cutting the molasses in half using 1/4 cup instead of 1/2 cup. I also subbed soymilk with a tablespoon of vinegar for the buttermilk. Good texture and with a little tweaking I think this quickbread could be very good.

Vegannaise : page 772

This was my first attempt at making vegannaise and it was extremely easy. Silken tofu, olive oil, dijon mustard, salt, cider vinegar, a touch of turmeric and whiz it up in the blender for a minute until smooth. I decided to add a few additional ingredients such as a bit of sugar because I like my mayonaise on the sweet side. This was much better than any store bought vegannaise or mayonaise I've ever tasted.
