jules reviewed Black Bean Soup from How to Cook Everything Vegetarian: Simple Meatless Recipes for Great Food
This is too thin and soupy for my liking but has a good taste. Next time I will use less liquid. I also think I used too much onion. I like onions, but there seemed to be more onion than beans! more »
Jayme reviewed Superfood Chia Chili from The Thrive Diet: Whole Foods to Thrive
Raw food still baffles me sometimes. This recipe sounded gross, but I when all the ingedients were literally just thrown in a bowl and stirred together, I wound up with a totally tastey raw chili. Much more »

I was surprised how fluffy the raw cauliflower got in the food processor. But I wasn't super crazy about the flavour. It wasn't bad, and I'm glad I tried it...I can imagine doing variations of this, but more »
Jayme reviewed Banana Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies from Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar: 100 Dairy-Free Recipes for Everyone's Favorite Treats
These make a nice, fluffy, cake-y cookie. Very tasty, but not so amazing that I'm ever likely to make them again.

Jayme reviewed Lazy Samoas from Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar: 100 Dairy-Free Recipes for Everyone's Favorite Treats

Jayme reviewed Bajan Macaroni Pie with Tofu Cheddar from Caribbean Vegan: Meat-Free, Egg-Free, Dairy-Free Authentic Island Cuisine for Every Occasion
Made in three parts. The tofu cheddar, a cheesy roux, and the pasta, mix together and bake. The roux seemed super thick to me. Not sure if it was my mistake or there was too much flour listed in the recipe. more »

Jayme reviewed Vegannaise from How to Cook Everything Vegetarian: Simple Meatless Recipes for Great Food

Jayme reviewed Sweet Miso Salad Dressing from Vegan Yum Yum: Decadent (But Doable) Animal-Free Recipes for Entertaining and Everyday
Dressing was a little thick so I at least doubled the liquid. It was also very mustardy, which I loved, but I think some people might wonder why a dressing called Sweet Miso has such a strong mustard flavour. more »
Jayme reviewed Pasta and Green Beans with Peanut Sauce from The Vegan Table: 200 Unforgettable Recipes for Entertaining Every Guest at Every Occasion
Very simple pasta, exactly what the title says it will be. This is made with kids' pallets in mind, so for a more grown up peanut sauce flavour in mind, I add a little cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. more »
Jayme reviewed Flourless Chocolate Tart from The Vegan Table: 200 Unforgettable Recipes for Entertaining Every Guest at Every Occasion
