Yam & millet "burgers", Italian Lentils with tempeh, rosemary and green breads, Vegan Banana-walnut brownies..PHOTOS


The menu for Monday is a light and luscious "affair" with most of the dishes hailing from Europe

The soups are:
A great cauliflower and watercress blended soup with potatoes and coconut cream, lots of watercress and fresh parsley

A light mushroom & yam soup with thyme

The entrees:
A great packed Spanish Style stew with tomatoes, onions, garlic,  sherry, mushrooms, artichoke hearts, yams, green beans, peas, celery, served with chopped parsley and steamed red rice


The Spanish Style stew

Sweet potato(yam) and millet "burgers"..this is a great mix I have also added shredded parsnips, onions, garlic, cilantro, Moroccan spices ( cinnamon, thyme,  coriander, turmeric, cloves, cardamom) a mild curry powder, and cooked tempeh.
Tomorrow they will be formed in patties and powdered with chickpea flour to give even crust and baked at client's home, served with pita breads and a jicama, mango, apple salad.

The millet and yam "burger" mix

"Italian" Style lentils with fennel seeds, celery, tomatoes, thyme,  onions, garlic, and cooked tempeh to be served on whole wheat pasta at the client's home..very high protein and very tasty.
It resembles a  ground chicken bolognaise sauce



The cooked lentils added to the mix..it looks and tastes delicious

The chosen side is collard greens with shredded carrots and zucchini

The desserts:
fig, raspberry &  pineapple crumble

Vegan Banana-walnut chocolate brownies made without eggs, these are goooey and very very good

The bread is sour dough, whole wheat, greens & rosemary.




base for the brownies



egg-free, high fiber, banana-walnut, triple chocolate brownies


Steamed "Sacred" Red Rice..this  has a nutty flavor similar to steamed kasha

  1. The Millet and yam burgers are a big hit and I have been asked to create more delicious "burgers" over the next few months..so watch this space for moist, tasty and totally Veggie "burgers" in the next few months.
    I will do anything to stamp out the dry hockey "pucks", that are presented as Veggie Burgers.
