on Nov 13, 2009 in Daring Cooks Challenge Daring Kitchen Time has just flown by for me! I completely lost track of VeganMoFo and ended up not posting at all after the first week.

VeganMoFo08: Dhal Soup with Dhal-Chili Cake
on Oct 10, 2009 in Soups VeganMoFo Main dish With temperatures beginning to become cooler and cooler over here, soup is starting to feel most welcomed! This one is yet another very popular Mauritian soup (sometimes made thicker into a curry). This recipe is infact great if you’ve made a batch...

VeganMoFo 03: Tofu Scramble with Parsnip
on Oct 3, 2009 in Lunch Box VeganMoFo Brunch Breakfast ideas Parsnip is most often cooked in soups and gratin and less often in stir fries or sautés.
