Potluck Goods

I had a going-away party on saturday, in the form of a potluck. It was quite lovely and rather successful if I do say so myself! These are a few things people brought.

Tofu and herb stuffed mushrooms:



"Cheesy" scones, which were probably the tastiest vegan-cheese experience I've ever had. There were also berry scones, pictured in the background.



Lasagne:



Matt, ever the show-off, went all out with the vegan sushi. Yam tempura, deep-fried vegan shrimp and crab all found their way into the rolls, alongside the "usuals" like avocado.



A giant vat of chili:



And then there were desserts, which is where I become the show-off. There was a few things that didn't get photographed (at least by me), including a spice cake (which I didn't make) and a chocolate kahlua pudding layered with nutriwhip. Pictured here, on the other hand, is a strawberry-rhubarb pie:



Tiramisu cupcakes:



And lastly, something not related to the potluck.. I just forgot to post these last time. Kahlua almond cookies (see a theme with the kahlua here?)

My sister and I made sushi last night. This was her first time.. and she's pretty darn good at it, if I do say so myself. We used shitake mushrooms, roasted red pepper, flavoured tempeh, avacado, green onions, various sprouts, cucumber, sesame seeds, veganaise and some sweet & spicy sauce, for the most part.. and there was probably at least 3 times as much altogether as I have pictured here (gotta have leftovers..)


Even a few inside out rolls were attempted, more or less successfully.

Before..

..and after it was demolished :)


Some velvet red lentil soup (with added carrots) and a tofu-salad pita (tofu extravanganza from La Dolce Vegan)


Some biscuits Stef made this afternoon. Ate one when I got home from work, they were still warm and delicious:


Udon noodles, seitan and peanut sauce from VWAV. Best peanut sauce ever. I brought this to an omnivorous potluck and it was great.
