Posted: 2/9/2007 2:50:06 PM | Hi. I am (hoping) in the process of opening a vegeatarian (leaning towards vegan) breakfast bistro.
I am looking for what your fav veggie/vegan breakfast foods are.
The cafe will NOT be serving any EGGS, dairy milk, dairy CHEESE but will have yogurt. So beyond those limitations, please, offer up what you'd like to eat if you could go out and eat breakfast/brunch at cafe/bistro. | |

Posted: 2/13/2007 11:14:45 AM | I will be using rice, soy and oat milks. I use these to make my cheeses and yogurts. i only said NO Dairy products.
Thank you for the bread idea. I have not done much cooking with pumpkin but it sounds delicious. I plan to try my first recipe this this weekend. thanks | |

My grandmother used to make me bananas with lemon juice and sugar on them... it's better than it sounds. | |

Most of the veg-heads I know are turned off by the faux-meats anyway. | |

Posted: 3/5/2007 11:07:53 AM | | Anything fresh out of the oven smeared with margarine. Also, oatmeal with a choice of additions (dried fruits, different sugars/syrups, even chocolate/carob chips... skies the limit). Good luck! When will you be opening? | |

People eat grass??? Sorry, I'm carnivorous 'til the end but I just never thought people ate grass. Is this a common thing to do? Just curious...
I recently discovered this; it's actually a variation of something I learned in a cooking class: Cut soft tortilla shells into small chip-sized pieces, deep fry them until golden, lay them out on a plate, spread tikka masala sauce on them (you can make your own - no meat), then plain yogurt, and top with mild curry powder. Serve them like nachos. Very tasty for anyone who enjoys Indian food! | |

Cut soft tortilla shells into small chip-sized pieces
Did you mean tortoise or turtle, either way they are protected over here so I doubt very much that I would be able to purchase either even at my local deli, can you suggest an alternative ?

No, I meant tortillas, what they use to make fajitas... I had taco shells stuck in my head when I was thinking of hard and soft shells. | |

I used to work as a Chef. I'll give you my Phone Number if you like,and when you're having a Breakfast wrap/Burrito,you can ring me and ask for my choice of vegetables.
Bear in mind i'm in London though and the obvious time difference. The last thing i want is a phone call at 3 a.m because you can't make your mind up over an Aubergine or some chopped Celeriac. | |

Posted: 8/18/2007 12:38:43 AM | Advocating a Macrobiotic Diet & the benefits of miso soup .
A bowl of Morning Miso Soup is a wonderful way to start the day. Once you allow yourself to feel the difference in your well-being,you may find yourself with a healthy habit.
Makes 2 cups
1 dried shitali mushroom, sliced (soaked and drained)
2 cups water
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 teaspoon wakame
1 heaping tablespoon red miso
drop of sesame oil
handful of roasted sunflower seeds
Pre-soak the dried shitake mushroom in warm water and drain. In a medium saucepan, combine the shitake mushroom, water,onion,carrot,and wakame. Bring to a boil and cook on medium heat for about 20 minutes,adding more waterr as needed. In a small measuring cup,combine the miso and a little of the cooked broth. stir and blend. Remove the soup from heat, thus stopping the boiling. Add the blended miso and broth and sesame oil. Pour into a soup bowl and top with sunflower seeds.
You can bye the instant, yet, don't forget the sunflower seeds and sesame oil!
There is something special about breakfast, yet it comes at a time of day when creativity and time are not exactly abundant. I urge you to participate in a morning meal that sustains your energy level easily until your next meal becomes a thought. | |

Posted: 8/18/2007 8:09:01 AM | Buckwheat Groats (Kasha) steamed in veggie stock. It cooks up like rice, looks a little like oatmeal or grits, but has a rich nutty flavor and more protein.
Serve with a dollop or three of honey-yogurt on the side... some like the yogurt mixed in, but I can't get past the appearance of all mooshed together in a mottled-tan lumpy paste.
BTW: It's KASHA not Kashi (that terrible commercial cereal-mix crapioka).
* Honey-yogurt: Plain unflavored yogurt with about 2 tablespoons of your favorite honey per cup of yogurt | |
