Velvet Beet Tofu mini cake – Vegan
Posted by Chitra Jagadish
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Make this valentine’s day memorable with a cute, delicious red velvet dessert. Armed with my heart shaped cookie cutter, I decided to make mini cakes instead of cookies for this year’s celebration.
However, it’s always a challenge to make a Vegan and healthy cake. The texture is achieved by tofu and colour by beet puree. I used Coconut milk almond frosting, where there is a magical taste of coconut and grainy texture of almond.

Parsley peanut pesto
About:
This is perfect for vegans! I use this pesto sauce for pasta, pizza base, as sandwich spread, as dip for crunchy veggies like carrot, cucumber and celery, and as salad sauce! One sauce, multi-purpose.. love it!
Parsley is a totally underrated superfood that boosts the immune system and boasts anti-inflammatory properties, and I love to use pesto as a vehicle to get more of it into my diet.

Pan fried and coated tofu stripes – Vegan
About:
Tofu one always thinks it tastes bland, which can prove wrong with this recipe. If you love spices and seeds, that would be enough to allow you to fall in love with this recipe. I have made this recipe several times lately and I have to say; it is my absolute favorite tofu recipe! It is so easy to make and the flavors are just bursting in your mouth.
To ensure you have the crispiest fries possible, be sure to blot out as much moisture from the tofu as you possibly can. Too much moisture = soggy fries, and we don’t want that!
