Thank you everyone for your interest!! Haven't been on for more than a couple of minutes over the past few days due to being away so really pleased to see so many of you on board :j

So, today, the start of my challenge....I have cooked veg curry, chick pea dahl and rice....not exactly inspiring (sorry guys!!;)) but have just got back from lots of days away and haven't had time to come up with anything spectacular

I am cooking a tagine tomorrow (it's actually cooking now as will not be in until late) and will serve with mint couscous and salad....

Nom nom!!! :rotfl:

You do realise you are going to have to give recipes don't you? :D

I've never done a tagine, so will be very interested in seeing a recipe for that.

Another interested follower here! I'm veggie but interested in finding out about delving into the diets of vegans! Looking forward to some ideas

I haven't tried making this recipe for homemade rice milk yet, but I bet it's cheaper than soya milk.

Don't worry Justamum, I will provide!! (well, as much as possible...I'm a bit of a 'throw it in' type of cook so won't be too great on quantities!) I have had a mental week at work so haven't spent as much time on the board as I would have liked, but will try to do better!

Okay, tagine.... sweet potatoes, tin of tomatoes, onions, garlic, squash (butternut,pumpkin or whatever takes your fancy) tin of (or pre-cooked) chick peas, cinnamon and ground ginger - chuck all into tagine (or casserole dish) and cook on medium/low heat for about an hour to hour and half..... I always put fresh chopped mint in after I have cooked it but thats just me!

I have also had sushi this week....sushi rice, cooked then mixed with rice vinegar and mirin, laid on nori sheets, sliced cucumber, avocado and carrot as filling, rolled and served with pickled ginger and wasabi... did a beetroot and apple salad to go with it....nom nom nom!!!!

Other than that, I haven't cooked this week as haven't been around but should do better from now on....

Made a job lot of muesli and granola for breakfasts yesterday so that will save me time in the mornings....

Plans for today are ratatouille, potato cakes, onion marmalade and salad..... can't wait really as is one of my favourites!! :T

As one of the forum's resident vegans, and one of its resident 'terrible at hoarding then not using up storecupboard stash' people, and a fellow 'throw it in' type of cook, I'm going to be keeping a close eye on this thread too

Among my stash are nori sheets, sushi rice and sushi vinegar - oh, and a pack of the bright yellow pickled radish. Not for the first time, I had an attack of 'inspired' and bought all the bits for sushi-making, but then... well, needless to say, I haven't got around to it.

I've just about reached the point of writing off that idea and using whatever bits I could in other ways [rice for risotto or pudding, nori with tofu for vaguely 'fishy' results, as enjoyed at a veggie Chinese buffet]; no idea for the radish and vinegar, though. Any ideas? Or are you going to say I should just bite the bullet and try making myself some sushi to take to work for lunch this week?

Bite the bullet!!! Really, totally worth it!! It's great for work, make a couple of rolls and it will keep in the fridge for a couple of days quite happily...... alternatively, you could use the vinegar in a salad dressing...would be nice with raw beetroot and apple salad - I've never had pickled radish, but I would probably chop it up and put it into a rice salad to give it some kick

Hi
I would add cocoa for baking fave choc cake - http://www.instructables.com/id/The-BEST-chococlate-cake-ever...that-happens-to-be/ I use the recipe to make cupcakes a good frosting is peanut butter mixed with silken tofu - tastes like snickers and jam/marmalade for breakfast and mango chutney for making sauces and veggie burgers (mixed with some beans etc)

How could I ignore enthusiasm like that? :T

Thanks for the ideas, all good thinking - and maybe I could combine all the ingredients to make a 'sushi salad' if I mess up the rolls :rotfl:
