A culinary cruise might take a few more months to set sail, but our Food Friday blog is always right on schedule! While the situation outdoors is not ideal, we can find our own ways of coping and maintaining stability in our lives. One way to do so is to garden. Another is to cook. This week, we’ve selected five great vegan food photos that we feel can inspire vegan and vegan-curious people in their own endeavors to make new and more delicious recipes. We’ve got savory tofu, sweet breads and more in store for you!
Ready? Let’s dig right in!
@rabbitandwolves begins our blog with these lovely tofu fingers, glazed with great sesame sauce. These great bite-sized tofu portions look like they can be paired with viands (like rice) or can be eaten on their own as finger foods. There’s also a recipe link, so you can make for yourself too. Tofu is a staple in a lot of meat substitute dishes, but on its own, it shines as a delicious piece of plant-based cuisine.
Next up is @anabell_plant_based_girl’s great photo of her lentil loaf. Lentils have been used as a substitute for meat in many recipes, including “meat” loafs, like this one. This lentil loaf in particular has great grainy textures that we believe are quite superior to the reddish ruddery hue of regular meatloaf. We’re certain that a slice of this delicious-looking meal is both appetizing and healthy.
Tofu is featured once again in this recipe by @the_homemade_vegan, showcasing pasta shells stuffed with tofu “ricotta”. Once more, we see the versatility of tofu as a plant-based ingredient, taking the place of ricotta cheese in this mouth-watering vegan pasta dish. The red sauce just pairs well with the white shells and tofu ricotta, an appetizing combination of colors. With the recipe accompanying this image, we’ll be sure to try our own tofu ricotta meals at home.
Have you ever tried puttanesca? It’s really good! Have you ever tried puttanesca with farro? Well, with @lastingredient’s great food photo to entice us, we certainly want to! We love our pasta dishes, we really do (and if you’ve been following our blog for quite some time, you’ll notice how many great vegan pasta dishes are out there), but we also love getting creative with your vegan cuisine. This green-focused meal has wonderful textures and colors. This meal will certainly gratify one’s taste buds, and with the recipe available in the profile, why wait?
Let’s end the week with something sweet! @munching.through.life presents this salted caramel chocolate chip banana bread, adapted from another recipe but made wholly vegan. Banana is one of the best herbs that you can use for a dessert. It has this great mouth feel when eaten raw, and it combines well with a lot of flavors, from peanut to caramel. This banana bread (complete with recipe) must taste amazing once you’ve pulled it off. Sharing such delicious meals with your friends, in our opinion, is what truly makes a dessert sweet.
That’s it for our Food Friday blog. Be sure to visit us next week for a fresh batch of great photos with easy vegan recipes attached to them. Want to join in on our weekly celebration? Simply add the hashtags #FoodFriday and #VacationingVegan on your future vegan food photos, and who knows, maybe you’ll be featured in a future blog!
