Luckily, I already had another party to attend that was scheduled to happen before Stephanie's. So I brought my food there instead. Food Awareness, our local vegetarian group, met on Saturday just after lunch for a screening of Food Inc. I brought my Cucumber & Cream Cheeze Sandwiches:
These were made with cucumbers marinated in rice vinegar, mirin, and a pinch of evaporated cane juice. The cream cheeze is Tofutti.I also made some Tofu & Olive Eggless Salad Sandwiches using a recipe from my upcoming cookbook:
And I made these Adorable Bleeding Heart Sandwich Cookies from the Vegan Cookie Connoisseur:
These cookies were incredible! The cookie part were ultra-soft sugar cookies and they were sandwiched together with buttercream and strawberry preserves. So far, the Vegan Cookie Connoisseur has been a huge hit!The film screening wasn't a potluck, but one of our members Amy also brought a dish — this amazing Orange "Chicken" Paella:
She used vegan chicken strips, and the rice had a really strong orange flavor. So tasty. In addition, we had Thai coconut soup, a lentil spinach stew, and lots of snacky foods. Here's a picture of my plate filled with cashews, soy nuts, my sandwiches, Amy's rice, carrots, hummus, and chips:
this is all droolworthy yumminess!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, an Alice in Wonderland theme party?!? I am gonna hafta steal that one.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe when you do get around to having the party, I will be an uninvited guest :).
What a delicious-looking tea party that wasn't! It makes me want to throw a tea party for someone ASAP.
ReplyDeleteOoh, and I hope your friend lets you post the recipe for the Orange "Chicken" Paella...
An Alice In Wonderland Party sounds so awesome! Too bad it didn't happen. Your sandwiches and cookies are adorable!
ReplyDeleteAll of those dishes look awesome. Enjoy your food.
ReplyDeletePoor Poopie indeed!
ReplyDeleteThe cookies are adorable and I think I'm in love with the colour of that paella!
What a delicious party! So sad for Stephanie :(
ReplyDeleteSometimes I wish we could taste food through the Internet... yum!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! What a spread! I wish I was there (or at least had all the leftovers in my fridge right now).
ReplyDeleteWow awesome set-up! But those cookies are the cutest of all. I would gobble those up, stat.
ReplyDeleteIs Stephanie going to reschedule her party? That theme sounds great, and the food looks good too. I guess you never really have trouble finding some folks to enjoy good vegan eats!
ReplyDeleteHow fun that would be to have a tea party like that! Yummy food and those cookies, yes!
ReplyDeleteThis will teach Poopie Bitch not to get sick! No finger sandwiches for her!
ReplyDeleteI love those tea sandwiches! they look so great
