Died and Gone to Heaven Sweet Potatoes - more on this and other recipes :)

[Guest guest]

What I didn't say but shoulda said was that this was a kind and thoughtful

response to my query.

 

There is indeed a problem for new vegans to find recipes that are suitable for

dessert because of having to cut eggs and dairy out of the equation. BUT a

little thinking and searching around, and one can find wonderful vegan recipes

that let us make appropriate substitutes - soy or almond milk, for eg., and

vegan buttery spreads such as Earth Balance (the best imho - and no I'm not paid

or profiting from saying that LOL), egg substitutes, flax 'eggs' etc. - for the

eggs and dairy we may have been used to using. This recipe for Died and Gone to

Heaven Sweet Potatoes is simple and looks simply delicious - and yes would make

a lovely ending to a meal The rice pudding the member suggested as an

accompaniment? Non-dairy milk works fine for making that!

 

So thanks for the heads-up. And all you new vegans out there, please do ask if

you want to know how to adapt anything. We really, collectively as a group, must

have thousands of years' experience in doing just that. And we love to encourage

newbies and/or old-time vegans and vegetarians who want to try something new.

 

Love and hugs,

Pat

guess I was thinking along the lines of some of the Asian desserts that are

sweet potato or taro based. Also vegetarians can eat treats made with milk and

eggs and butter which is the basis of many dishes. I guess I thought the Vegan

" Larder " needed some new candidates.

overlooked a message that would explain, but can you tell me why you say

'Perhaps for Vegans it should be classified as a dessert'??? The dish _is_

vegan, provided one uses Earth Balance plus vegan sugar (ie. not filtered

through bone char).

other vegetarian foods? I think I would put it with something like baked tofu

and some green vegetable and - yes - rice or whatever would be fine on the same

plate too Not, I think, to be poured over rice, however - ????
