My mom used to make egg noodles from scratch – haven’t quite ever found anything the same veganized…
Believe it or not, a chopped herring salad my mother used to make.
I would love to see a veganized version of corned beef hash.
Yes! Oh my gosh, I have been saying this for years. I would be in heaven.
Massaman curry, yum yum. But how do I get the right beefy flavour and what can use instead of fish sauce?
I would love to be the one who wins a copy of everyday Vegan Eats by Zsu Dever! I have been vegan for exactly 2 years this month and am loving it so much that I am in culinary school at the moment, with the eventual goal being to open my own vegan restaurant. So with that, I need all the help I can get with creating tasty vegan recipes for my restaurant! The more vegan books I have in my arsenal the better. There are not very many vegan options for restaurants where I live, I hope this changes!
Thank you,
Christy Logsdon
Ya know…..there are so many vegan recipes around and so much good food to make…I can’t think of anything I want to veganize……..I love to try all the new recipes and love to eat all kinds of dishes…:)
My grandmother’s dutch babies recipe
My grandma’s creamed cauliflower!
I’d love to see a veganized version of my mom’s ‘Maultaschen’ (Swabian pockets) from southern Germany.
So far I love everything vegan, but I’d love to find a commercial vegan cheese that I actually like! Everyone recommends Daiya and I can’t stand it! :/
I’m still trying to figure out the best way to replicate Grandma’s German Potato Salad. I’m thinking it will probably involve coconut bacon!
So would love to win this vegan cookbook with amazingly sounding dishes! I would also love to turn a Dutch pancake vegan!
My mom always used to make us angel food cake when we were kids. Can’t find a vegan recipe that even comes close.
I’d love to see my mom’s chicken paprikash veganized. I loved that dish growing up!
I do not own any vegan cookbooks, I just keep borrowing them from the library so this would be a treat to win.
I do not have a favorite non vegan dish that I need veganized.
A healthy chicken parm sub!
Zsu’s recipes look terrific! There’s nothing specific I’d like to see veganized (I usually take care of that myself), but another great cookbook from VHP would be a welcome addition to my cookbook shelf!
Scalloped potatoes. I have fond memories of making it with my dad.
I’m not sure how it could be done, but a brisket recipe that I have: Apple Cider Brisket by Jeffrey Nathan from his book Adventures In Jewish Cooking. Of course with brisket you cook it for so long to make it tender and I can’t think of a vegan option that would do the same and impart the same flavors.
Growing up a special treat for us was a Seafood Bake (casserole) and everything could be veganized except for the tuna and shrimp. Although there are a couple of canned vegan tunas on the market I haven’t tasted them yet so I don’t know if they would impart the same flavor. As for the shrimp, the one vegan brand that I have tried didn’t have that same flavor that real shrimp has. But I’d love for that to be veganized!
I’ve been able to find and/or create my own dish for most everything I can think of. I do miss a good fried fish sandwich. Thanks for the opportunity to win this amazing cookbook.
Adobo chicken
I have tried some vegan pound cake recipes but they are not like the real thing. Mix that texture.
I’d love to see an Italian Meatloaf recipe that is wheat free. I created something during the holidays that was tasty but didn’t have quite the same texture…it’s so tough!
I have been vegan for 26 years now (since I was 24) so have my childhood favorites veganized already. I would like to see healthier, low sodium options in stores though.
I’ve been vegan for over 20 years. I’ve pretty much veganized everything I like. I would love to veganize angel food cake for my boyfriend, though, as that’s his favorite.
My mom’s chicken divan
I would also love to see corned beef hash veganized. I absolutely loved eating it when I was still eating meat and it’s one of the things that I miss from time to time.
I would like to see Diary Queen ice cream cake veganized! I’ve been working on a version of it but the frosting layer is tricky.
Oh man. I second all of the comments about wishing I had a go-to vegan version of corned beef hash… especially with a convincing runny fried “egg” on top. I used to look forward to it every Sunday as a child 🙂
Egg tarts
Irish Stew
My family has a chicken casserole recipe that I used to absolutely love. It was chock-full of fat, but it was pure comfort.
A really convincing meatloaf.
My family had a chicken casserole that I just absolutely loved. It was chock-full of fat, but it was pure comfort.
I’d like to get the recipe for the reubens mentioned above! I’ve had many a vegan reuben, but have never attempted it at home 🙂
This looks like a great book! I’d love to see lobster veganized, in a form I can make at home from ingredients I can buy. The super-processed fake meats are a little too mysterious for me!
Bettina
cream puffs
Would love to have vegan meringue cookies!
Homemade noodles!
There’s already so much veganized that I’m satisfied with. Can’t think of another favorite to veganize.
I am trying to think of something. My family would love some sort of bbq sandwich
