You know I’m glad I named this blog “Almost Vegan”, cause I have been more almost lately. Seems to be a trend and in the air. There are less vegan offerings at my normal grocery stores. It seems to be fading…

So, if you want to go with vegan cheese with this recipe, please do. The cheese is the only thing that makes it not vegan.

I love Kale anytime of the year. This does sound refreshing for spring. They add lemon to it for an extra zing.

Why It Works

• Peeling the celery ribs ensures there are no stringy bits left in the salad.
• Small dried shrimp* add savory depth and pops of salinity in each bite.
• Cutting the scallions and chile pepper on a bias makes it easier for diners to pick up the salad with chopsticks.

*You can use Shiitake mushrooms instead of the dried shrimp.

Merry Christmas! I watched this YouTube video the other day and was fascinated. This guy is fun, and he makes this 18th century plum pudding with an 18th century kitchen, tools, and he is dressed in 18th century garb. Must see –

Now, there is one ingredient that made my skin crawl – Suet, ugh, watch the video to know what that is, I do not want to go into it.

This is the answer to that problem – Buy Whole Foods Vegan Suet (500g)

It also has eggs, so try these [I have not, hope it works…] – Plant Based Eggs – and milk. So substitute with the vegan milk of your choice – oat, soy, rice, almond, coconut, whatever.

For the sauce, you need butter to go with the brandy. Maybe this vegan butter is special enough for this sauce. It might do with enough brandy involved – Miyoko’s Creamery European Style Salted Plant Milk Vegan Butter

Have a fun Christmas!
