Seitan Roast Stuffed with Wild Mushrooms and Leeks

This roast was super, super yummy. I didn't make many changes to the recipe except to remove the Shiitake Mushrooms. I used a mixture of Button Mushrooms and canned Porcini Mushrooms. I was going to use dried Procinis but found some canned ones for less money. I think the saltiness of these went really well in the roast and because of this I didn't over salt the roast with stock as Isa suggests. I also probably had more filling than the recipe recommended as I had two really large leeks but I think this worked out well. I think I prefer it with a little more filling. I stored the roast in the fridge once it was cooked and it reheated really well. To reheat it I cut off the individual portion sizes and wrapped them in tin foil with a few teaspoons of water to keep it moist.

Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake

I used to love Sticky Date Pudding as a non-vegan. The pudding was dense and tasted lovely warm or cold. It tasted best with the caramel sauce. I made triple the quantity of this sauce, as I didn't think the recipe made enough. I wanted to let it soak into the cake and then later heat it up and pour it on the cake and ice cream. My sauce didn't really soak through the cake so I was glad to have some sauce to pour over each individual slice. This cake is rich, fatty and sugary, so it's definitely a treat. I'm not sure how you would serve this pudding at a bake sale but I am so glad it was included in this book!

Rote Bratkartoffeln

These were really yummy and made a great side. The flavourings for these Bratkartoffeln were Onions, Pine Nuts, Sun Dried Tomatoes and Tomato Paste. This was a really nice version of Bratkartoffeln and I really liked the addition of Sun-Dried Tomatoes. The recipe recommends using dried Sun-Dried Tomatoes without oil but then adds Olive Oil. My favourite Sun-Dried Tomatoes come in oil so I used a combination of the oil from the tomatoes and Olive Oil.

Sautéed Green Beans with Mushrooms

I found this dish a little too salty (there are 4 teaspoons of salt in it!) and 'winey'. It wasn't bad just not great and I would have preferred something else as a side.
