#240 The Case of Peach Vanilla Pudding

Peach Vanilla Pudding

1-1/2 cups light coconut milk

1/4 cup cornstarch

1 cup Cashew Milk

2 cups canned peaches, drained and puréed in a blender

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 teaspoon salt

4 perfect, fresh blackberries

In a large saucepan, gradually whisk the light coconut milk into the cornstarch until smooth.

Whisk in the Cashew Milk and peach purée and stir over medium heat for about 5 min. or until the mixture is bubbling and pudding consistency. Be very careful not to scorch the pudding on the bottom of the pan.

Remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup, vanilla and salt.

Pour into dessert dishes and let cool for 15 min.

Cover the actual surface of the pudding in each dish with plastic wrap to prevent a “skin” from forming. Chill in the fridge.

Just before serving, remove the plastic wrap and garnish each pudding with a perfect, fresh blackberry.

Serves 4.

#257 The Case of Cacio e Pepe

T his recipe is the simplest of the simple and yet it feels decadent to me. Posh even! enough spaghetti for 2 2 tablespoons vegan butter 1 teaspoon coarsely grated black peppercorns (about 50 turns of the grater) plus a little more pepper to grate on top 3/8 cup vegan Parmesan (1/4 cup grated) salt Cook the spaghetti. In the meantime, toast the pepper in a pot on medium-low heat for about 30 seconds or until aromatic. Swirl in the butter and melt it slowly. Do not brown. You can turn the heat right off when it's ready. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water. When the spaghetti is just about al dente, pour 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water into the butter mixture. Then drain the spaghetti and toss it in. Raise the heat to medium-high and mix vigorously with tongs. Stir in the grated Parmesan and more pasta water, if needed, to create a creamy sauce. Salt to taste. Plate. Grate the rest of the cheese and some additional pepper on top. Serves 2. ♥...

The Case of Vegetarian Detective in Italy

B uon giorno! I feel like a snob saying, "I'm just back from Italy." That's me: jetsetter. Yeah, right! But wow...Italy! I could talk up a storm, and I surely will as I adjust to being back here, six time zones from magnificent Italia . I often ask people who've just travelled what was their favourite part of their trip. If I ask the same of myself, my answer is seeing Michelangelo's sculptures. His Pietà and The Statue of David literally moved me to tears. I just can't believe I saw "him" in person! So...our plane from Toronto was delayed six hours and we missed the first day of activities, but we still visited Rome, Montecatini, Siena, San Gimignano, Pisa, Vinci, Florence, Cinque Terre and Assisi. Quite the agenda for ten days, including the two flight days, wouldn't you say? But Trafalgar made it work. I would go on a Trafalgar trip again in a heartbeat. Things I learned in Italy: In the regions we ...

Welcome Foodies!

Wonderful to meet YOU ! At Vegetarian Detective, I share with you some of my favourite veggie, vegan and raw recipes. I know you’ve noticed that eating meat-free is a popular trend everywhere.
