Vegetarian Chatter

[*Ash*]

Ooh Peach,I love rice paper rolls.I just wish they didn't take so long to prepare.I took some to a naming ceremony on Saturday - carrot, cucumber,capsicum,shi*take mushroom, green bean, vermicelli noodle, Thai Tofu (I think it is soyco brand) and rocket. They were very nice. Actually, the food table at the naming day had a vegan section - a whole half of the table.It was fab! There were lots of vegan cakes. My DD was overwhelmed by the choice, usually there would just be one vegan cake - made by me! Interestingly, there were only 6 vegans in attendance - my family, plus a boyfriend of the host's friend. I thought that was very thoughtful of the host (she is a vego).

I recently made some strawberry muffins for a party that my DD went to. At the end,the mum asked what every one's fave thing had been.One girl said 'the strawberry muffins'.I was pretty chuffed when I heard this as there was a pony at the party! Imagine the vegan muffins being more popular than a pony! (well,to one little girl any way).

I bought a bread maker a couple of months ago and it has been getting a lot of use.I haven't bought any bread at the shop in that time... Cherished,I am going to try your spelt bread recipe soon.

I have been reading about Beverly Lynn Bennett, the Vegan Chef. She has some amazing recipes on her web site veganchef.com I am going to experiment with some of the desserts.....

I hope everyone is well....
