Mark earned a $50 gift card from Borders a couple of weeks ago. We now have three new vegan cookbooks in our kitchen :)
One of the books we bought was Veganopolis. The recipes look amazing and many are French-based. There's even a recipe for a vegan version of pan bagnat, which is a specialty in Nice. I still haven't tried it yet but hope to soon.
Last week, we tried to make the Roadhouse Vegan burgers. And by "we", I mean Mark. Unfortunately, some of the directions were vague and quite frustrating. Though the result was actually quite good (in fact, so good we're never buying store-bought veggie burgers again), Mark felt like he needed to tweak the recipe.
So, last night, he adapted the recipes from Veganopolis and Real Food Daily cookbooks. Then, he coated the cooked burgers in soyaki and browned them in our convection oven. OMG!!! They were delicious. And didn't even taste like veggie burgers.
He added baked fries & beans to the meal, with homemade barbecue and mustard sauce for dipping. I'm a lucky woman :)
