Casserole and Lemon Tofu

Now that my last paper has been handed in I'm ready for a summer of cooking (and working too)!
Chickpea, basmati rice and broccoli casserole with cheese sauce from http://letsgetsconed.blogspot.com/. Very tasty but maybe a little yeasty for me, though it had mellowed out when I ate it the next day for leftovers.

I'm pretty excited to have made tofu that has a really nice lemony flavour as some of my previous efforts didn't fare so well. I think the trick was that although the tofu didn't soak in the marinade, it was baked in a lemon juice, olive oil, gralic, thyme marinade. Yum! Served with millet with parsely and some accidentally over roasted mushrooms.

Busy with the Studying

As I've been busy studying for exams I haven't been cooking anything much blog-worthy.
Lots of coffee made with a stove top espresso maker. The quintessential vegan dish - tofu scramble.

One Hit and Two Misses

Eggplant Bharta from La Dolce Vegan which unfortunately had too much spices (not spicyness) for my taste. Topped with tofu raita with cilantro and cucumber.
I though I would try a roasted potato salad but unfortunately the tofu mayo took away from the nice roasted taste of the potatoes. I'm thinking a nut based creamy dressing might have been better.
A weekend lunch salad topped with warm roasted root vegetables (sweet potatoes, carrots, beets, and potatoes) topped with a creamy sunflower seed dressing. Delicious.

The camera has taken a little trip down to mexcio so there won't be any food pictures for a bit.
