30 October 2009

This is my last mofo contribution for the month and I find myself left with mixed emotion.  I am pleased that we joined in and wrote about food for the month (haha like thats different from usual!) and also relieved it is over!  But what should I write about for the last one?

Julie Andrews sung about her favourite things and feeling inspired by her I am going to write about my favourite foods.  Due to the variety of lovely, tasty vegan foods out there this can’t be my favourite foods forever, this does change (frequently!!)  So this blog is restricted to my favourite food of, well the month seems to long, this week I have had some new nice things, so we will settle with right now.

I thought that I would include 3 favourite courses I could include more food.

Its October, which is all about autumn, halloween and pumpkins and for me heavenly pumpkin and sweet potato soup.   I started making this soup about a year ago and ate it for most of the winter!  It is suitably thick, creamy and really has depth of flavour.  A very good winter warmer indeed.

This year I tried sprouted lentil shepherds pie at the wonderful Vitaorganic and I have eaten it EVERYTIME I have been in there!  It is gorgeous.  I went home and developped my own version using sprouted beans topped with a roasted sweet potato and pumpkin mash (recipe to follow on the website).  Eat with a raw salad.

And lastly the tastiest bite size pud of today is….. mini victoria sponge muffin with a squirt of soya cream.  Big enough for s sweet treat but not too much after the last two courses.  Mini magic indeed.

What are your favourite foods?
