I felt quite smug the other day. I made two fairly fancy meals in a single sprint of effort.
Lunch was quinoa (with some herbs stirred in); roasted vegetables; puy lentils in a ground coriander & balsamic dressing; and a “yoghurt” of blended soft tofu, umeboshi paste and salt:
Dinner was the ingredients for lunch, mixed and layered with lasagne, baked with the yoghurt on top:
Gosh, was I pleased with myself. I love lazy food fiddles. It’s a trick akin to bin soup, only less soupy.
On a separate note, if anyone can show me a picture of vegan lasagne that actually looks appetising, I will write them a bad poem about their lasagne as a prize.

haha unfortunately my lasagna never comes out very pretty. Just a sloppy mess of deliciousness. I think yours looks very appetizing though!
Your “throw-together” meals look much more involved than mine. Hats off.

Mmmm!!! This looks good! And two for the price of one! Somehow, those carrots are leaping out at me, so I’m now going to have to make something very carrotty for dinner…

Very impressive. My favourite lasagne involves a lot of spinach but it never really looks impressive. One trick I have learned is to let it cool before slicing for photography. The layers stay more layer like, if you see what I mean

Hi Seb - here’s a picture of one I think looks really appetising; keep meaning to make it for one of the potlucks, but somehow never quite get round to it!

Are you allowed to talk to non-vegans? Just checking ’cause that dish looks mighty fine! x
