Eggplant Caponata

Today I am going to be making eggplant caponata. This is something that I have been wanting to make for a long time. This reminds me of the years I worked in Italian restaurants, and will be a favorite dip, appetiser, or snack. It is really easy to make as well!

Valentine’s day is coming up and now is the time to start planning that special day with that special someone. Let me ask you, what would be more special and lead to a better night for both of you Know what I mean? Know what I mean? Nudge, nudge. Wink wink. Say no more. Going out and to eat, fighting everyone else and waiting 45 minutes at a restaurant for a sloppily put together meal on one of the busiest nights of the year or something you made to impress that special someone? Today I am going to show you how to make something that is sure to impress, it is going to be a full meal. Today’s meal is going to include a vegan version of chicken cordon bleu, asparagus and rosemary new potatoes tossed in rose infused extra virgin olive oil. For dessert I suggest finishing with my rich and luscious King Missile chocolate cheesecake which can be found at https://thefatveganchef.com/recommends/chocolate-cheesecake/

Making Seitan

Today I am going to show you how to make seitan. This is a surprisingly easy ingredient to make, and once you get it down you won’t be buying the expensive stuff in the market anymore. Like tofu since this has no flavor, you can use any flavoring you want to to make it accompany any dish you are making.

I am going to use today’s seitan for the orange tofu recipe, so let me tell you the base you will need to start the dish, then you can build the flavors from here.
