My dinner today - Moussaka

Today was really busy at work, there kept coming costumers xD Unlike yesterday when we went hours without any customers xD It's nice though that so many wanted to visit our store today =D

I didnt really have time to eat or drink at work after 11 or so, but i drank a bit orange juice (more like orange pulp xD) after we were closed before i left.

Then i testdrove with my dad around. This time we went to an island i havent been before called Bjorôyna or something. It was pretty nice there =D I wanna drive back there another time =p

When i got home after some chilling i made moussaka =D It was in some recipe collection i found in my local shop (rema 1000, they have like monthly recipe collections in their shops).
This was so yummy i wanted to have the recipe on my blog =p

For about 2 persons:
Red sauce
0.5 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
TVP, i think i did like 1.5-2 dl or something, soaked in warm water along with a veggie bullion, and i also added some taco mix and a little bit of nutritional yeast, but thats not neccesary. Other vegan minced meat style can work also =p then no need to soak unless its dry like TVP
1 tablespoon tomato puree
0.5 can chopped tomatoes (1 can = 400 g)
Salt and pepper to taste

White sauce
25 g vegan margarine (i used alpro <3)
25 g flour
4.5 dl plant based milk (i used oat milk)
1 garlic clove, chopped
Nutritional yeast, to taste. I think i used maybe 3 tablespoons or so
Salt and pepper to taste

1 eggplant
Vegetable oil

For the red sauce: saute onion and garlic, then add TVP, tomato puree, and chopped tomatoes and simmer for a bit. Taste with salt and pepper.

For the white sauce: melt the margarine, stir in the flour, then add bit and bit milk while stirring. Simmer for a while and add nutritional yeast, salt and pepper to taste.

Cut the eggplant in 0.5 cm thick slices. You can also salt the eggplants if wanted to get out the bitterness. I was too lazy to do this xD

Grease an ovenproof dish and add a layer of eggplant, then a layer of white sauce, then layer of red sauce, then eggplants and sauces again until out of all. Finish with a layer of white sauce. Put in oven on 200°C for about 40 minutes. After removing from oven let it cool for about 10 minutes before eating. Yummy with a salad as side =D

 

And it was really yummy even if the pics arent the best xD

My lunch today - potato and carrot burgers

Hows it going with everyone?

Here i'm sitting at home trying to get some studying done xD

Just had my lunch, which today was some potato and carrot burgers that i found in a cookbook that i got while i was in school. The book is called "Fra boller til burritos" (from buns to burritos).

I had the burgers along with some lettuce, bell pepper and pastasauce. The pastasauce was from a jar, but mixed with juicing leftovers and some extra spicing xD

Ingredients for the burgers:
1 boiled potato, mashed (mine i guess was medium large)
1 carrot, grated (mine was medium large again =p)
0.25 onion, finely chopped
0.5 tablespoon flour
0.25 dl plant based milk
Salt
Pepper

Mix together the ingredients, form burgers and fry in pan until slightly brown on both sides =)

Enjoy ;p

My dinner today - veggieballs

Today for dinner: veggieballs (from veg-veg.no *norwegian*) with salad, tzatziki and oven roasted cherry tomatos (on 200°C for i dunno how long xD). 

Quite yummy =)

Lentil pie with red bell pepper and corn

One of the days i made lentil pie with red bell pepper and corn that i found in one of the cookbooks i have (Fingermat/Greatest ever party food, page 84). It was quite yummy and simple, i should make it again =D
Here's what i did.

Ingredients
55g whole wheat flour
25g vegan butter
1 tablespoon water

45g red lentils
0.75 dl vegetable bullion (i used water+cube)
0.25 - 0.5 onion, chopped
0.5 red bell pepper, chopped
0.5 dl corn
1 teaspoon tomato puree
salt
pepper

Start with mixing ingredients for the pie crust. I had to add bit more water to mine. Put it in fridge while making the filling.
For the filling simmer lentils with the veggie bullion, onion, and bell pepper until lentils are ready. Add more water if needed. Add corn, tomato puree, salt and pepper to taste.
Do the pie crust into a mini-pie shape (about 12 cm diameter) and add the filling.
Place in pre-heated oven for about 30 minutes at 200°C. Enjoy ^.^

Veggie lasagne with fennel sauce

Found a lasagne recipe in one of my cook books (donderdag veggiedag, its in dutch though but i guess nice to have if you know dutch xD). It turned out better than expected (sometimes when i cook from recipes, food comes out bit tasteless, but this one was yummy =p)

So i wanted to share recipe =D This one is bit different from the meaty lasagne that i have on the blog from before, since it doesnt have tomato sauce, and it doesnt have milk sauce =o It also doesnt have "meat" xD This one is just veggies =p I made half a lasagne (so i tell what i used, if you want larger then just double it or quadruple). It lasted for 2 meals (or 2 persons if you are so lucky you have someone to share it with)

Ingredients:
Margarine/oil/both/none xD i used both oil and margarine
0.5 fennel, chopped in small pieces
1 yellow or red bell pepper (recipe said yellow since its supposed to be yellow sauce, but i used red since thats what i had), chopped in small pieces
Water to desired consistency (i also added half a veggie stock cube)
Turmeric (i just added until satisfied xD in recipe its safran though but didnt have that)
Salt and pepper until yammie
1 full tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional)

Lasagne plates (i used 3), boiled so they are soft

Oil/margarine/water
0.5-1 onion (depending on size), chopped
0.5-1 clove garlic, minced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
0.5-1 eggplant (depending on size), in cubes
About 150 g fresh spinach, chopped
Spices (i used basil, oregano, chili, paprika, salt, pepper, onion)

Pine nuts (or in my case sunflower seeds) as decoration

For the sauce:
Saute the fennel and bell pepper, then add water (and stock cube) to cover the veggies and add turmeric and simmer until veggies are tender. Then puree them with a hand mixer or blender or food processor and add more water if needed. Add salt and pepper to taste and nutritional yeast.

For the veggies:
Saute the onion, then add garlic. Add eggplant and bell pepper and saute more until soft. Then add spices to taste, then add spinach and saute until its ready. I also added some water so i didnt have to use shitloads of oil xD

Assembling:
First do a layer of sauce, then veggies, then lasagne plates, then sauce then veggies then lasagne plates etc, and finish it with a layer of sauce, then spread some pine nuts or sunflower seeds on top, and do in oven for about 15 minutes on 180°C.

Enjoy =D I had a salad with mine for extra green, fresh and crispiness

Sorry for bad photos, took them with phone and they looked nicer on that small screen xD But it's the taste that matters for me, not the looks =p

Provencal bean stew

Made this recipe from one of my cook books, and it was really delicious, so i wanted to share =D

I edited the recipe a little bit (not so much xD), heres what i did. I think it should be for about 2 persons (but i ate everything myself @_@)

Ingredients:
1 onion, i sliced mine in two, then in slices
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 red bell pepper, in slices, here i also cut in two then in slices
0.5 chili, chopped
200 g canned tomatoes (half a can)
1 tablespoon tomato puree
1 400 g can white beans (i used tomato beans, but other beans probably works also), here i also added the liquid that was in the can =p
Water to desired consistency (mine got maybe bit too much soupy, but i like it like that xD)
1 veggie bullion
1 tablespoon basil spice
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 bay leaf
Salt and pepper to taste
About 0.5 dl black olives, pitted and chopped in half (i didnt measure what i used, probably it was more, and i also added the olive liquid into the stew for extra taste)

Directions:
Saute onion until soft, then add paprika, garlic and chili and saute for about 10 minutes more while stirring every now and then. I sauted in water, so if low on water add more =p Then add canned tomatoes, tomato puree, beans with their liquid, water, bullion and spices to taste. Put the lid on the pan and simmer for about 30 minutes. Then add olives (and olive liquid if you like that) and simmer for 15 minutes more. Then enjoy ^.^

Sorry for the bad photo btw :x

Veggies with rice

My dinner yesterday was inspired by the chinese veggies with rice recipe i found at veg-veg.

I changed a bit on it though, so heres what i used (for 1 person):

About 0.5 dl whole grain rice
1 medium carrot in slices
0.5 onion in slices
200 g cabbage in slices
1 teaspoon fresh chili, chopped
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, chopped
0.5 dl water
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon maizena
5 almonds, chopped
1 dl bean sprouts

Boil the rice, chop the veggies, stir fry them in water or oil until bit soft. Mix together the water, soy sauce, maizena and add along with the almonds. Add the bean sprots and boiled rice and serve =p

Probably good with other veggies too, like mushrooms, bell pepper, mini corn etc =D

Skiengryte

I made this recipe a while ago that i found in VeganMisjonens kokebok on page 33, by the author of veganmisjonen.blogspot.no. The recipe is not on the blog (though there are many other yummy recipes there), so i recommend everyone to buy the book (you can buy it here) =p Many yummy recipes in there, and this one i think was extra yummy! =D

Some of the ingredients in this recipe are onions, zucchini, tomato, bell pepper, sundried tomatos (i love sundried tomatos!!) and chickpeas =p I also added some salad and cucumber with it =p Really superyummy! =D

Nut quiche

One of the days (or nights xd) in xmas i made a nut quiche from one of my cookbooks page 43.

It was with puff pastry in the bottom and up the sides, then with a cashewnut - pistachenut - zucchini - rutabaga filling, with a "cheese" sauce over that and some cheese on top. Put in oven for an hour and yammie =p

I had been planning to make it one of the days, then my family would have pita so i wanted too so i ended up making it in the middle of the night xD Nightfood ftw! Was yummy though =D My bf liked it too <3

Cooking book project week 7

New week new testings =p

First i started off with some kinda mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts with some mushroom, sun dried tomatoes and walnuts. In my opinion, the recipe has too much potatoes compared to other stuff (i would like it more green and more mushrooms =p). But other than that it was good =p

Then i continued with oven roasted vegetables with polenta-balls, which was also yummy (but dunno if i will make it again, i guess roasted vegetables arent my favorite xD polenta i like though =D) This is also my first (known) meeting with fennel, and its kinda cool taste on it =D

Further i failed to cover my filled bread with bread dough, so i think i would go for more dough next time (i doubt there will be a next time even if the bread didnt taste bad =p)

Then i had nut roast, which was also good but i prefer the one i normally make. It was smart having lentils in it though i think, but the leek and celery in it was a bit annoying xD

Then i had paella de verduras, replacing the asparagus with brussel sprouts =p and using turmeric instead of safran >.> This one was yummy as well =p

Then to my favorite this week =D Spring rolls!! =D Though mine looks more like spring packages >.> But they were really yummy!! This is the first time i make spring rolls myself =p I did them in a pan instead of frying them though, they would probably be even better fried =p I served them with some sweet chili sauce that fitted perfectly! =D

This week i wont be doing cooking book project since i'm leaving back to Bergen, Norway tomorrow so my bf can study a bit better with less to worry about, and so i can hopefully find a job. If anyone has a job for me in Bergen, feel free to tell =p

So ye, this week has mostly been trying to eat all of the fresh food that wont last too long, and i also tried to clean the freezer a bit by eating smoothies =p Now no more half year old frozen bananas or so hiding in the freezer xD Tomorrow i will make spring rolls for having on the plane trying to use the remaining ingredients that are lurking around in the fridge. Hope they will be yummy too even if there will be other ingredients in them (i'm out of soy sauce @_@!!).

Will be nice to see family and friends again and having people actually enjoying my cooking and not just complaining about it smelling or tasting bad =p And i somehow miss the mountains even if i never really went on many mountain trips =p (they only got hills here in Leuven, or not even that xD).

But i will miss Leuven too! Everything i want/need (except liquid smoke, nutritional yeast, sour cream, holiday dipmix, and ground cloves) are closeby to my apartment and it's pretty cheap here too compared to Norway =p

I will miss my bf and his family too, but i guess i will see them again in the summer. And i will miss that it is almost never raining here, unlike in Bergen where it is raining a lot more >.>

I will try to continue the cooking book project in Norway from next week =p Still a lot of recipes in my books to be tasted! xD

Cooking book project week 6

This week was more yummy foods =p And one bad lol =p

First i started of with carbonara with sundried tomatoes, which was yummy =p My bf agreed to eat it too so i made for him also.. but he didnt like it because of the mustard sauce (he never told me he doesnt like mustard >.>) so i ate everything which was a bit too much for 1 day =s But ye, i liked it xD

Then i made mushroom cannelloni with leeks sauce =D This one was very yummy too =D I skipped the olives in it though since i was too lazy to spend my money on olives, not knowing if i like olives or not. Still turned out good =D

Then i had stir fried tofu, mushrooms and peas which i also liked, but it was a bit dry so i added more soy sauce to it =D Yummy aswell =p

Then i had curry with sweet potatoes and banana, and i replaced the pumpkin that was normally supposed to be in it with eggplant xD Pumpkins are pretty big, and i didnt feel like eating pumpkin every day for a week or so @_@ This dish tasted weird in a bad way, so i doubt i will make it again, i even wrote a warning in the book not to make it xD Maybe i used too much curry paste, or it was the mix with the banana that was bad, im not sure, but i bet the ingredients will be tasting better in other recipes instead xD

Then i had more cannelloni, but this time with green beans and corn puree thingy filling, with a white sauce on top =p I think i liked the other cannelloni more, but this one wasnt bad either =D

Last i had chickpea dip (hummus? xD) where i used peanut butter instead of tahini (i read somewhere that i could do that xD) since i didnt really like the price of tahini >.> peanut butter was cheaper =D This i ate with pita, santa maria vegetarian taco mix, and some vegetables =p This hummus is the best that i have ever tasted! =D (though the only other hummus i have tasted was the one from GoGreen so probably you other people might have tasted a better one xD)

So ye, that was this week xD Mostly yammie except for the curry thingy xD

I feel a lot of my dinners/meals (~6) are caught up in this project now though, maybe i should start eating dinnerish breakfasts too so i can try out other recipes aswell, and get the leftover stuff in my fridge used xD Or cake/cookies for breakfast *drool* =D (i did that on wednesday lol =p)

Dinnerish breakfasts might be cooler than my normal breakfasts that are normally consisting of slices of bread with jam, tartex (that is more than 1 year out of date but still as yummy as fresh and not causing sickness/death!!!!) or my recently bought (yammie) peanut butter xD

Cooking book project week 5

This is the first time i made food from all of the books in one week!

First i started out with mexican tomato-thingy (i think its nachos xD). Since i wanted to get rid of the leftover corn i had, i used like 3x as much corn as i was supposed to, and i used less tomato (1 big instead of 1,5 tomatoes). I also used yoghurt instead of sour cream and cheese.
Personally i prefer the nacho that is already on my blog somewhere, where i used lasagne sauce =D

Then i had vegetable moussaka. I liked this one better than the other one i had some weeks ago. Again i used yoghurt on top. Also my bf pointed out when the yoghurt (alpro soya naturell) is heated it smells like sour socks xD I still think the yoghurt taste yummy though, but its better when its not heated xD

Then i made indiase tahoe. But i have a feeling that the morocco-yoghurt is different than the alpro soya yoghurt since it doesnt look like they used yoghurt in the pic in the book xD The heated yoghurt smelled like sour socks again, so i think i prefer making scrambled tofu or something if i use tofu =p (i made scrambled tofu with the remaining tofu xD) I also didnt have munt. And i served on bread instead of naan =p

Then i made filled vegetables. I was too lazy to make the extra sauce for pouring over like in the recipe, so i just added the ingredients i had in the filling. And like always im missing or replacing ingredients =p Atleast i had all the vegetables xD The bell pepper tasted yummiest but i still prefer the filled bell pepper that i normally make. I also forgot to salt and pepper the filling =(

Then i made mushroom risotto, using a different kind of mushrooms than in the recipe and i boiled the mushrooms together with the rice instead of adding them at the end so it would have more mushroom taste.

Last i made filled videetjes (i have no idea what that means but its filled puff pastry xD). These were pretty cool =p I burnt the puff pastry though (my oven likes to burn food), and i replaced some vegetables, so i used carrot, broccoli, peas, and brussel sprouts while recipe suggested carrots, cauliflower, asparagus, peas or green beans, and peultjes but i dunno what that is xD The sauce was pretty good too! I used coconut milk instead of soy cream for the sauce and it worked out good =p

Its snow here now btw =D And pretty cold xD I am also jogging less than at start since i guess its smart to have resting days so legs dont get overworked and dont wanna run >.>

Food from the cooking book project of week 4

Just a reminder, my cooking book project is where i use random number generator to decide pages from all my cooking books, then i try to make most of the recipes from those pages that week =p

First i started off the week with toast with mushrooms. This was yummy, but it would be even yummier if i added plantmilk or cream to the mushrooms i think =p (like my mushroom sauce or the mushrooms i had for my xmas dinner)

Then i had vegetable pilaf, which was also yummy =D I did more vegetables than it normally should be since vegetables rock =p

Then i had tomato risotto =p I'm always too lazy to add a small bit of water and let it boil in, so i just add all at the same time, and it always works out good xD This dish was yummy as well =D

Then i had risotto primavera. Here i used broccoli instead of asparagus (since that's what i had). Lots of yummy vegetables here =D

At the end i had bhuja lentil dish. This one was pretty cool too =D Kinda like lentil-balls in tomatosauce with some beans and carrots  =D

What i didnt make this time was some spinach/rice/pumpkin pie since i didnt have most ingredients and i didnt wanna buy them either xD And i didnt really have time for it either since the bhuja was on sunday so i ran out of days that week =p

So ye, it was a yummy week this week too in my cooking book project even if i ended up with rice half of the week lol.

I really like this cooking book project! Lets me try out lots of new recipes that i otherwise wouldnt have made xP

Bonda

Someone wanted the recipe of bonda from my cooking book project so here it comes =p

This recipe is from the cooking book "Gourmet vegetar" written by Jane Prince.

I did some changes to the recipe though because i dont have whole mustard seeds, curryleaf, coriander plant, chickpea flour, or rice flour, so i had to replace these xD And i also fried in a pan with a little oil and not a bunch of oil like the recipe wanted.


I made recipe for 8 bondas i think if i remember correctly, i think i ended up with more than 8 xD And i ate all myself =p This is what i did (mixed a bit with what says in the book since i dont remember all xD)

Ingredients:
Vegetable oil
0.5 teaspoon mustard
0.5 onion
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, chopped in small pieces
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 green chili, nicely chopped
400 g boiled potatoes, in cubes,
A bit turmeric powder
0.5 tablespoon lemon juice
Coriander powder
Salt
More oil for frying/baking in pan

60 gram flour with 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
0.2 teaspoon turmeric
0.25 teaspoon chili powder
Some salt

(Ps: i added probably more of every spice than i said here and in different ratios xD so taste yourself how you like it before you make them into balls =p i like it spicy and yellow xD)

First set the potatoes to boil if you dont have any boiled potatoes laying around.
Then in a pan (wok it says in book but i dont have that so i used a saucepan or so instead) add oil and bake the onion, ginger and chili for 2 minutes and i think i might have had the mustard and curry in here too or i added it straight after.
Add potatoes, turmeric, 1 ts water, and let it fry for 2 minutes more until it's dry.
Remove the pan from the heat and add lemon juice and coriander and salt. Here you taste on it and spice more with whatever you feel there should be more of. I went a bit amok with the lemon juice so mine ended up tasting lemon xD I also liked the curry and mustard so i think i went a bit amok with them too =p And salt also ofc! I love salt! Could be i also did pepper, but i dont remember anymore.
So after it taste "perfect" then make it into balls using a tablespoon that is filled with much dough and then get your hands dirty by making them into balls xD
I somehow had time to make the flourdough earlier, i think while i was waiting for my potatoes to be ready, but if you havent made it yet, then make it now. Mix flour, baking powder, turmeric, chilipowder, some salt, in a bowl. Then add like 1 dl water a bit at a time until your dough is good. You can taste this dough too and add more of whatever you feel like. I think i wanted mine more yellow if it wasnt yellow enough =p I also did an error here and didnt add enough water (less than what it should be). I guess i made it like i made pancakes, but i like thick pancakes and i should have gone for thin pancakes consistency of the dough.
Dipp the balls in the flourdough so they get covered by the flourdough on all sides.
Fry the bondas in a bunch of oil on 180°C, or if you are like me and dont like to fill a pan full of oil or using a frying machine, then use a pan and fry them in a little oil (kinda tends to be much still since they need refill all the time, but still less than filling a pan @_@). Fry them on every side until they are golden.
Lay them on a paper so the oil can dry off and serve.

Last weeks random food

Last week i was lucky with the random number generator! All the food i made i liked extra much =p

This week i am less lucky since every dish contains rice except for a toast lol xD So will probably be a lot of rice this week xD

But ye, back to last week =p

First i had a moussaka with eggplant and lentils from donderdag veggiedag cookbook =p It was yummy =p I skipped the white (egg/cheese) sauce because i dont eat egg and cheese and i didnt wanna wait another hour for my dinner so i figured it was good enough to be eaten without =p

Then i had bonda (i've never heard of it before xD) from the gourmet book =p This i enjoyed very much!! It's a bit like samosa, so with potatoes and onion and spices with a flour-thingy surrounding it =p So i bet i will make this again more!! =D I just had it in a pan with oil instead of frying it though, and it worked fine! =p

Then i continued with potatogratin with spinach =p I was kinda surpriced how yummy this was!! I used coconut milk instead of cream and skipped the pine nuts and cheese. Luckily i tried to copy the picture by adding salad and tomato on it, since that made it extra yummy =p

Then i had creamy rice pudding from the vidunderlig vegetarmat cookbook. Was kinda annoying that i found out after i started on it that it needed to be 2,5 hours in the oven cuz i was already hungry @_@ I also used some coconut milk in this one even if it didnt say in recipe =p It's kinda different than other rice puddings since it got bit of lemon and nutmeg taste, and its baked in the oven and not in a pan =p

 Then the last day i had pasta and gnocchi (pasta with ovenroasted vegetables and tomatopesto) from the vegetarmat cookbook. This one was pretty yummy as well =D I used lasagne-pasta since i didnt feel like making my own, and i didnt have pine nuts so i used sunflower seeds in the pesto. I also didnt want to kill my basil plant so i used half dry and half fresh basil =p I also should have used more paprika xD The paprika kinda shrinked when i oven-roasted it xD

I didnt make couscous with tuttifrutti from the vegetarish cookbook since i have no idea what tuttifrutti is or where i can find it xD

Now i hope this week will be yummy as well xD Good thing i like rice @_@

Jogging and the cooking book project xD

I guess some of you might wonder how my jogging is going.

In my opinion it's going pretty good, but i found out that i jog at the same speed as people walk fast xD But i'll work on my condition first then the speed later, since it's no point in running fast for 20 meters or so then be totally out of breath (like i normally did when i was running to the bus xD)

Last week i also started warming up and cooling off by walking a bit before i start jogging and after i finished. I don't know if it helps or not, but i guess it can't hurt to walk some extra =p

One of the days i jogged for about 8.2 km in 1 hour and 2 minutes =p Dunno if that's good or bad, but for someone who never really was active i guess it's good =D The other days i normally do somewhere between 4.5 and 6 km with jogging if im not doing other active stuff for a day like walking or biking because then i'm often too lazy to jog which i guess is fair, like the day i was shopping for 3 hours xD Got myself a headband and a jogging top + foods from that =D

Lately i've been trying to take less walking breaks and jog for longer time, so i guess i maybe reached my 10 minute goal of jogging without breaks =p But it still sometimes feel like im trying to run in water since i feel resistance in my legs (they wanna walk, not jog xD)


And then to the cooking book project! I'm too lazy to post recipes but if you want some of them just tell and i'll post it =p I guess it might be possible to read the recipe from the pictures too if you understand the language xD

So after the tomato pasta i made nasi goreng from the cooking book "Vegetar mat". I kinda made the sauce too thin though, but i guess it was still good xD

 

Then i made roasted chickpeas from the book "Gourmet vegetar". I roasted mine in the oven instead of frying them like the recipe said but i never got them like i wanted so i gave up and just ate them =p (they were still good though xD)

 

Then i made lentil bolognese from the cooking book "Vidunderlig vegetarmat". I like spaghetti bolognese from vegweb more though =D But this recipe has more vegetables in, which i guess is a good thing =p

 

Then i made an indish dish with aubergine, tomatoes and peas from the cook book "Donderdag veggiedag kookboek". Here i had an accident with the peas and half the bag went in xD

 I didnt make anything from the last book "Vegetarisch". I guess the recipes in that book are a bit different than what i wanna make xD

Interesting to try new recipes atleast! =D And extra cool since a random number generator picked the recipes xD And ye, i dont have any english cook books and no vegan ones either >.> It's on my wish list though ;)
