i asked fellow readers of vegan brunch what their favorite recipes were and i had many replies for the "puttanesca scramble" being a real winner. well, i made this dish--and i didn't like it. i really, really tried to like it, but it just didn't work, and after a few tries i sadly added what was left to the compost heap. it certainly looks good and has things i really like: tomatoes, fresh herbs, garlic, and awesome olives. perhaps the capers were the culprit in the dish not working, i dunno. it was just too savory for my mouth-(is there any such thing as too savory?).i'll just stick with my own tofu scramble. i really like it and i get it right every time. i know it's kind of stubborn for me to say so, but i don't really bother with anyone elses recipe.
tomorrow, i'll post my favorite vegan brunch recipe so far...what will it be? ((((tenting fingers))))
question: what is your favorite vegan brunch recipe? have you ever tried a recipe that you thought was gonna rock and didn't? tell all!
Well I really loved the avocado potato salad- and the coffee cake...chocolate beer waffles, pb waffles, you name almost everything in the book! but I tried to make the pumpkin pancakes- and they wouldn't cook inside! I was really sad :-(.. But for the most part I love each and everything..
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think the classic VWAV tofu scramble is the best. I like to try new ones, but I always come back to that one.
ReplyDeleteI thought the choc. raspberry blackout cake from VWAV would be amazing b/c everyone raves about it, but i just thought it was okay. weird.
so far all i've made from VB is the coffee cake and it's awesome.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to like the chocolate raspberry cookies in VwaV but I didn't. The almond extract totally overpowered them and they tasted marzipanny! Which isn't a bad thing but just tasted wrong in the cookies!
i didn't have the same experience - i had a recipe i didn't think i would like (grilled avocados) and i ended up scarfing them down.
ReplyDeleteI still haven't tried the Puttanesca scramble, but I'm a big caper fan, so I'd probably like it. I'm also a human garbage disposal who thinks everything tastes good...except for fennel. So I don't have a VB recipe that I don't like.
ReplyDeleteMy fave, however, is the Tofu Omelet, for sure! My second fave is the Tofu Benny. That Hollandaise recipe kicks so much ass.
Definitely the BANANA RABANADA -Brazilian French Toast.It is to die for. Just make sure to use 3 day old bread.
ReplyDeleteI think olives are a bit much for breakfast. I love savory but when it's the first meal of the day, I like to keep the savory side mild.
