Green Day thread. ..

The vegg is quite good for making things taste like egg, I make scrambled Vegg (tofu and the vegg), the french toast I had the other day was made with it as well and I put a bit in the bread & butter pudding I made last night, it is also good as a runny yolk with breakfast . I find Orgran No Egg better for baking, I have used it to make cakes.

That's interesting thank you, I've used the No Egg quite a bit for brushing on filo pastry and as a binder which seems to work well. Maybe we will have a cooked breaskfast this weekend and I will try The Vegg as a warm runny yolk. Did you know that The Vegg have a cookbook out? It's currently only available to buy direct for $15 with shipping to the UK, but the guy that makes it is trying to find a UK supplier.

I_am_plankton, did you like your Vegg?

Sounds yummy! I loved it, definitely the best egg replacer I've tried, I loved the texture of it as a dippy yolk blended with warm water. Will be experimenting with it in future for more complex dishes and I really need to invest in the cookbook once money's not so tight :-D
When you scramble it, do you use that alone or do you do scrambled tofu with it added?

I scrambled it with tofu so it had the texture and taste of nearly an egg. Last week when I made bread and butter pudding I use the Vegg and No Egg in it, it seemed to work well because you got the taste and it set. I usually google for recipes as it's free x x

 

[RebekahR]

Ooo I will have to find some of this stuff sounds ace! !

Today
Blueberry bagel 11.5 syn & grapes

Flat mushroom burger with tomato relish (1) and houmous (1.5) wholemeal roll

Studied most of thd night same today and tonight so unsure if I'll have dinner if working.

If I do : tagliatelle and Passsta

Xx

 

[Barbette]

Currently the only places I have found it are online x x

 

[i_am_plankton]

Thanks for the tips Tace, it's these little swaps that make sticking to SW and being Vegan much easier.

Rebekah - with the vegan cheese, it can be counted as a HEB choice to save your syns in future Although it can be a bit of a pain if you want two other choices instead (I've gone to having free sandwich fillings so i can still have 2 filling HEB choices, and then save my cheese mostly for the weekend)

 

[RebekahR]

Ooo this is great news thanks

Quite happy to use a hexb for cheese! !! Jumbo flat mushroom with cheese and relish ahoy!

 

[Barbette]
