Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 What is your favourite way of cooking pumpkin? Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 of course it all depends on what the final product is going to be, whether a dessert, soup, stew, whatever. generally for most uses, its baked. plan on baking a couple small sugar pie pumpkins today as a matter of fact, to brew a beer with the pumpkin/mushroom dish we had last nite was pretty tasty, tho, not sure how it was cooked. it seemed sauteed. fraggle heartwerk Oct 15, 2008 11:39 PM Re: dinner What is your favourite way of cooking pumpkin?Jo Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 No, I didn't. I don't like my food hot, so I wait for it to cool off anyway. And I ate the leftovers cold -- my version of fast food.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 I see. I like mine quite hot, so would probably warm that up again. It sounds good though.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2008 Report Share Posted October 17, 2008 pumpkin beer is quite common over here in the autumn season the european colonists brewed it a lot way back when as well. and yes, it tastes like pumpkin, but thats generally due to the spices added heartwerk Oct 16, 2008 11:37 PM Re: dinner Hi FragglePumpkin beer! does it taste of pumpkin or does the taste change when brewed?Jo Fascism, like socialism, is rooted in a market society that refused to function.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 sounds good yarrow. squash is suppose to have lots of vitamin a which is good for the skin. I noticed that you didn't put any spices..I will try your recipe some time because it sounds real simple. I took a picture of the vegan lasagne I made. I made it again. We also were curious about some items in the british isle at my local supermarket and we tried Heinz spaghetti. We have a british aisle full of english items.. I have no idea why it is curious.. things like yorkshire pudding (not vegan) and other items like brown sauce?? and all kinds of interesting teas. , " heartwerk " <jo.heartwork wrote: > > We had a sweet and sour, with sauteed tofu for dinner yesterday.

I usually don't add anything to winter squash or sweet potatoes because they are full of so much flavor themselves! Especially after years of not using salt or sugar, I appreciate the subtleties of flavors. I think I got the idea of pears + vanilla because my new favorite pear variety is Concorde, which has been advertised as having a vanilla flavor. And then I was leafing through a vegan cookbook and saw the combination of winter squash and pears, which sounded good. Oh, and I had some small comice pears from a friend's tree.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 After looking through my new VT mag, we will be trying the wraps this weekend. If they are good, I'll post the recipes. Also on the menu, quinoa tabouli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 20, 2009 Report Share Posted December 20, 2009 Tonight for dinner my daughter and I made Vegan baked Mac & Cheese and roasted veggies. The mac is now in the oven however we taste while we are cooking and it tastes good. We used a nutritional yeast cheese sauce that my daughter makes and then we shredded in the Follow your Heart cheese, when we mixed this into the Mac we added some vegan cream cheese for creaminess. We wanted to make a test run as my daughter is giving this to one of her friends as part of a Christmas gift. Gayle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
