Okay, there are a lot of vegan cookbooks around.
A lot of them are good, some are great.
Urban Vegan’s upcoming cookbook, Urban Vegan: 250 Street Smart and Animal Free Recipes is a great one.
I’ve tested 16 recipes, and I really wish I had my own kitchen—or at least some proper utensils and basic ingredients.
But alas, I’m stuck in a college kitchen in which each resident is allocated exactly
one cabinet and
one refrigerator drawer—and expected to supply all of their own pots, pans, cutlery, plates, bowls, cooking/prep utensils, and food.
And since I’m only here for three weeks, I’m eating pretty basically (I’ll tell you more about that in a future post).
So for now, I’ll just have to reminisce about the yummy Urban Vegan eats I have tried recently.
Like this deliciously thick and creamy chickpea paprikash.
Served with a bowl of chewy homemade spatzle (not a tester recipe and fairly ugly but yum!).
And finally, coconut-orange bars—a variation on coconut-lime bars. Crunchy, nutty base topped with sweet chewy slice.
With the cookbook deadline looming, I hope I can squeeze in a few more tests when I get back to Townsville!
Chickpea paprikash sounds spicy and delicious! It sure does look tasty!
