VeganMoFo 2019 #12: J is for Just Add...

My friend Leigh, vegan cookbook author and awesome person, recently started selling a range of vegan products called Just Add.... These are dry mixes that just need a few simple additions to whip up easy vegan meats and sauces. I was lucky enough to test these products for her. You can see the current range of products available here. And here are some photos of when I tested for them!

The Hollandaise sauce is beautifully tangy and creamy. My mum is an omni and is a hollandaise sauce eating expert, and she gave this her tick of approval! You can use this sauce for all sorts of things. Here I have served it over some tofu scramble. (I tested the tofu scramble mix as well, though this is not currently available in the product range.)



The Palmesan is a cheesy, salty, tangy topping for anything you like! Here it is gracing some bolognese.



The ham is a super easy seitan mix. Leigh uses beet powder in it, so the mix is beautiful and pink! There are a couple of options once you have steamed it, you can use it as is or glaze it and bake it. I took the latter (with some gold mustard, which is why it sparkles). I served it with mash, greens, and gravy, chopped it for pizza, and sliced it for sandwiches. So versatile!



The burger mix has two components, a TVP one and then the rest of the mix. It makes for a meaty burger with a good texture. I just made a simple cheeseburger with mine.



There are two other products available currently that I have not tried. One is the pepperoni, which I have not tested due to spice reasons. The other is the hot dogs, which I fully intend to make I just haven't quite had the chance yet.

A couple of other products I want to mention... first the Garlic & Herb Cutlets. They are currently undergoing some changes, which is why they are not available at the moment, but they were amazing when I tested them and will hopefully be back soon!



And there are a few other products that were tested that haven't been put in the range yet. By far my favourite of everything was the Cheesecake mix. A base mix (which would also make an awesome crumble) and a delicious cheesecake filling mix (just add silken tofu). I was in love with this, and really hope it makes an appearance in the permanent range eventually so I can eat it all the time!



If you are in Australia, support a local vegan business and order some products! You can also follow on Instagram to see some of the local markets in Sydney and Melbourne that Just Add will be attending if you want to buy and meet Leigh in person!

One of Sahara's favourite beds was her wheelbarrow bed out in the catmax. A comfy pillow covered by a towel, nice fresh air, she loved it. Look how relaxed she is here.
