Tuscan Tofu Scramble: I love a tofu scramble! This one has mushrooms, sundried tomatoes, and basil in it, as well as a bunch of seasonings. I also added some baby spinach, because I am a spinach monster. I also increased the nutritional yeast in it, because I am also a nutritional yeast monster. Served with some roasted potatoes and avocado.

Tempeh with 40 Cloves of Garlic: As regular readers will know, I have a low tolerance to garlic these days. I made a half recipe of this, which gave one serve (it says the whole recipe serves four, that would be small serves), and I decreased to garlic to six cloves. To be honest, I was still a bit worried, but the way the garlic was cooked made it extremely mellow, and the lemony sauce was lovely.

Rosemary Lentils with Roasted Tomatoes and Garlicky Broccolini: This is incredible! It has such lovely flavours. A thick lentil stew, beautifully sweet roasted tomatoes, and then the green punch of the broccolini (yes, I did reduce the garlic). It does have a few steps to this recipe, but it is incredibly worth it.

Orange-Zested Chocolate Chip Scones: I made these for an afternoon snack. I used a food processor to make the dough, which was quite sticky, but they baked up great. The flavour combination of orange and chocolate is a favourite of mine.

Lemon Thyme Italian Soda: I don't drink fizzy drinks (except kombucha), so whenever I am making a recipe like this I make it flat by using coconut water in place of the seltzer. It works and makes things even more refreshing! This has a very subtle thyme flavour, which was nice with the lemon. I did find it a bit sweet making it as written, so I did dilute it out with a bit more coconut water.

Pomegranate Mint Italian Soda: As above, I used coconut water instead of seltzer. This was super easy to make, there was no syrup to cook down like with the drink above, just mix a few simple ingredients together and chill.

Strawberry Basil Milkshake: Strawberry is the best flavour of milkshake, that is just a fact. This is easy to make, using ice cream, frozen strawberries, and fresh basil with a few other things. The basil taste was very subtle though, so I would definitely add more next time to really be able to appreciate it in the drink.

Polenta Berry Cobbler: I love the texture that polenta gives the topping on this cobbler. You can you any sort of frozen berries, I used a mix of Dark Berry from Woolworths, which had cherries, black currants, and blackberries (I've included a photo of the bag below for those of you in Australia), which was a perfect mix for a winter dessert. I did not serve this with the Vanilla Gelato recipe from this book, but instead another homemade vanilla ice cream I had in the freezer.

Basic Bechamel: I made the bechamel recipe in the book to use for some random casserole thing I put together one day. This is a cashew based bechamel, and even though it has cooked onion and garlic blended in to it, it is still just bland overall. Needs more seasoning!

Eloise, just stretching out. She loves to lie with one or both of her legs stretched out behind her. Such a little doofy sploot. I love her.
