Get It Ripe: A Fresh Take on Vegan Cooking and Living

Cashew Creem Tomato Soup : page 169
This is exactly what I wanted to eat! A creamy, tomato soup with a touch of heat.
The recipe specified soaking the cashews for 4 to 8 hours but I didn't feel like waiting so I only soaked them for about 40 minutes while the soup was simmering. It was just enough time to soften them slightly and they added a lovely texture to the soup.
I also accidentally added 2 tablespoons of maple syrup instead of 2 teaspoons so I increased the amount of tomatoes to balance out the sweetness.

White Bean Dip : page 139
This dip couldn't be any simpler. Just throw four or five ingredients into the food processor and Bam! A yummy, thick, garlicky dip. I recently made a slightly different version of this recipe that had lemon in it and wasn't sure this was going to be as good without it but the fresh parsley added a nice freshness. I really like both versions.

Zucchini Date Muffins : page 129
These muffins are entirely sweetened with dates so if you are looking for a sugar free muffin these are a pretty good bet. They were moist with a fairly mild flavour. I think I would have liked them to be a touch sweeter so next time I may add a bit of maple syrup to the date mixture.
