Flaked Almond Tuna Salad from Oh She Glows

This turned out pretty well. I didn't have kelp granules, so I added dulse flakes. It tasted good, I don't know that it lent a fishy taste. I should try it with kelp next time. Her mayonnaise suggestions... read more >

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Vegan Baking

By Donna Diegel

Chocolate Bread Pudding : page 222

This isn't an every day recipe, there are a number of steps and it's rather involved. I made this for Christmas dinner. The recipe calls for white bread baked from their recipe; I did what most people would do and got bread from the grocery bakery.

The steps are clear and numbered, and I found the time estimates accurate.

Equipment needed: 9x9 pan, blender, pan, whisk, rubber spatula

Pecan Blondies : page 156

These came out great. Moist, sweet and chewy. I was concerned whether they would bind well, but I followed the directions and put the ground flax together with silken tofu and water in the blender (instead of soaking the flax separately.) The blondies held together just fine. I really don't think there's a "tell" that these are vegan. So, high praise.

As with all types of brownie-type desserts, watch your cook time very carefully.

Directions were very clear and numbered.

Equipment needed: blender, 9x9 pan, hand mixer with dough hook attachments
