At tonight’s vegan cooking class at Nea Guinea we made soy milk from scratch. And then with the soy milk we made bechamel and with the okara from the soy beans we made a scramble okara putanesca! Everything was absolutely delicious and fun!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all! I don’t understand why people in Greece do not celebrate Thanksgiving. I find Thanksgiving to be an amazing opportunity to celebrate and be thankful of what you have. I am thankful to have a wonderful family, two adorable kitties, the best husband in the world and really great friends. As Thanksgiving is not a holiday in Greece and had to spend much time working, I didn’t manage to create a really great Thanksgiving dinner. It was also just me and Sean so I preferred to spend more time with him instead of cooking for many hours.  Of course we did have dinner. And watched football. For dinner we had black bean cutlets, creamy mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, veggie pot pie,  a pretty green salad and easy chocolate peanut butter pie. I didn’t even think to take any pictures when I served the dinner, so all I have to share today is an after hours photo from our pie. Actually of what it was left…

This was made with graham crackers crust and chocolate peanut butter pudding filling. And it tasted great!

another vegan cooking class at Nea Guinea

During tonight’s vegan cooking class at Nea Guinea we made black bean burgers and greek souvlakis. We also had chocolate muffins (used coconut milk instead of soy milk and half cup sugar instead of 3/4 cup of sugar, plus folded in 1/3 cup of chocolate chips). And for the end we made Greek semolina halva.

Also, a cute orange cat found his way in our kitchen and stayed with us for dinner. Hope he will visit us next Friday too! Happy vegan cooking!
