What I ate (#Vegan)

The filmrol on my phone has started to fill up with food pictures again, so I figured it was time to do one of these posts again. So here are some things The Husband and I ate in the last few weeks.

I am still madly in love with my Speedy Bosh cookbook. In my last what I ate I already showed off a lot of the things I made from it. Here is some more… (with worse lighting because winter…)

All of these were tasty (some more so than others). I had some issues with the puff pastry (not the book’s fault), and the Vietnamese pancakes didn’t quite turns out as they meant to (I seriously don’t know how they got all the holes in them) but it still tasted good. I was a big fan of the Chili, Cheatball Marinara Sub, Green’s Gratin and Speedy Tapas (which uses crisps instead of potato in the tortilla).

Through Netgalley I got a cookbook for review, so I made a few things from that as well.

These dishes were fine. Tasty but nothing mindblowing. A decent book if you are looking for some new staples, especially vegetarian, but it there isn’t anything new in it.

Since the last post we of course had the festive season (and lockdown). So we treated ourselves a few times with comfort food and takeaway…

First off, Subway got a vegan Chicken Teriyaki, which of course I had to try… so when The Husband got himself a massive hangover we got some delivered (as well as the vegan ‘burger’ sub). Very yummy. We also got a new restaurant in town, which does loaded ‘fries’. And they have 7 vegan options. I went for the Mexican (guac, salsa, cheese), and the farmers (onion, mushroom, cheese, fried broad beans – which are Amazing btw – and sweet chili sauce). They were fine, but would def be something I would rather have at the restaurant itself so that the cheese is actually melted over the fries. So as soon as lockdown is over, I know where I’ll be going. Next, some of my baking skills… it looks Horrible, but tasted great. Over here in Holland we have a pastry called tompouce, which is basically custard between puff pastry and topped with red fruit icing. So I veganized it. I also made loads of burgers, and The Husband got us bah-paus for lunch a few times (because it is winter and we want something warm). And lastly, another typical Dutch treat. At New Years we eat oliebollen… which is basically deep fried dough, sometimes with raisins in.

So, those are some of the things we ate… things might have to get a bit more simple in the coming weeks (seeing as we have been sat at home for two months now and are getting no financial compensation. We are fine, but seeing as I wouldn’t be surprised if lockdown gets extended again I would like to be a bit more sparingly with our money so that we have at least some savings left at the end of all this). Simple can still be Very tasty though!!!

Hoping you are well,
