Tips for Vegans and Vegetarians at Christmas
For me this has always been a difficult time of year being forced to attend events where people chow down on big bits of animal parts. Even at a so called vegetarian gathering some years ago I was gob smacked when I saw a dead chicken on the table. So I have taken the cowards way out and stay home with my beloved on Christmas day. If friends do want to catch up I offer them to come to ours and tell them not to bring anything, that way we can feast on plant based yumminess.
Mushroom Pepper Sauce
What pepper was used in your house? I couldn’t remember past the black pepper in the grinder but recently was reminded that I grew up with white pepper. I had completely forgotten this until one of the guest teachers who was teaching on the Vegan chef and lifestyle training requested I buy white pepper for him. I wasn’t really sure why he wanted it and ordered some organic white pepper corns from Santos (our local health shop).
Basic tomato sauce for spaghetti or spiralised zucchini
Catering for everyone's individual dietary requirements is actually easy- believe me
Something that comes easily in the kitchen for me is catering for everyone's individual dietary requirements. Through this very simple recipe I show you how.
My partner wanted spaghetti for dinner with a good cream sauce, he is gluten free.
I am presently trying to regulate my blood sugar levels so didn't want carbohydrates for dinner nor did I want a cream sauce.
I also wanted kale he didn't, he wanted mushrooms.
Vegan Fritatta
One of the aspects of catering on retreats that I love so much is adapting food to suit people's individual dietary requirements. I love to know that everyone is going to be able to enjoy good food no matter what restrictions they have. I enjoy making them similar food to the main dishes on the menu, adjusting it in whatever way is needed. Often though when there is someone vegan on the retreat or someone with an egg allergy and I realise I have fritatta on the menu I am a bit stumped because fritatta is essentially egg.
Christmas Ideas and Healthy alternatives for Eating Salmon
This is an extra blog post this week to give you some wonderful ideas for Christmas and keep you from reaching for a packet salmon. I am not entirely sure why but in the last few weeks it has been bought to my attention how much salmon is being consumed these days.This led me to look into why people are eating salmon and how it is farmed. Alarmingly salmon is grown with very few ethics and in my opinion eating a piece of salmon is no different from eating caged eggs. Many people are under the illusion that salmon grown in Tasmania is ecologically sound and free of antibiotics but a few studies show that this is often not the case. You can check out some information in the following article.
