Here are some of the dishes featured in our past cooking shows. For all ingredients, please use organic options if available, it is more nutritious and better for the environment. Also we use sea salt and vegan sugar, or unrefined sugar, in our cooking. Many brands of regular cane sugar in the United States are refined with bone char as "whitening agents." Here is a list of safe sugars: http://veganresource.com/vegan-sugar/. You can also use raw sugar or other natural sweetening agents as substitutes to be absolutely safe!

Ingredients:

  • 3 Tbsp organic raw cacao powder
  • 4 Tbsp organic raw agave nectar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)

Directions:
To make the "dough" of the donuts, in a bowl, smash banana by hand or with a large wooden spoon. Add 3/4 of the ground flaxseed and mix well. If the mixture seems too dry, add the rest of the flax seeds to make it a dough-like texture. If you like, you can add in cinnamon to the mixture for variety. The "dough" should hold together very well when you form a ball shape but should not be overly sticky.

Form the dough into small donuts shapes by first rolling parts of it into a ball and then use your index finger to poke a hole in the middle. You can do this anyway you'd like. Set onto your plate and that's the base for your donuts!

To make the fudge topping, mix the cacao powder and the agave together well until a fudge mixture is formed, it will look like a rich, liquid chocolate. Use a spatula to spread the fudge topping on top of your donuts. Serve immediately or place into fridge for later! Donuts should be able to save for 3-4 days in the fridge.

Preparing the sweet spicy lime sauce by whisking together sugar, soy sauce, lime juice, lime zest, red chili flakes, garlic, and mint.

Tofu: 

1. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat to properly “dry fry” the tofu (fry without any oil).
2. Spread the tofu out in one layer in the pan. Using a spatula, press the tofu. 
3. After a couple of minutes, flip the tofu over and press the other side.
4. After 10 minutes of dry frying, the tofu will look golden brown, then add the sweet spicy lime juice and stir to coat tofu.

Ingredients (for cake):
  • 1 TB apple cider vinegar
  • 1 ½ cups plain soymilk
  • 2 1/8 cups flour
  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. baking soda
  • ½ tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 1/8 cups sugar
  • ½ cup oil
  • 1 ¼ tsp. vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp. coconut extract
Ingredients (for icing):
  • ½ cup of Earth Balance vegan shortening
  • ½ cup of Earth Balance vegan margarine
  • 3 cups of power sugar
  • 1 cup of soy milk or soy creamer
  • 1 ½ tps. vanilla extract
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350º. Spray 22 muffin cups with nonstick spray or line with paper cupcake liners (I like to spray the inside of the muffin papers with nonstick spray to help the cupcakes release). Set aside.

Place the apple cider vinegar in the bottom of a liquid measuring cup and fill the cup with soymilk to equal 1 ½ cups. Stir well and set aside (the mixture will curdle).

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another mixing bowl whisk together the soymilk mixture, canola oil, vanilla, and coconut extract. Add the wet to the dry ingredients and beat until smooth using a hand-held mixer, stopping once to scrape down the sides of the bowl.

Fill each muffin cup with ¼ cup of batter. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until a cake tester inserted in the middle of a cupcake comes out clean.

Let cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then remove cupcakes from the pan and place on a wire rack. Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.


For icing:

Beat margarine and shortening first until they’re soft. Then add sugar to beat for 1 min. Then add powered sugar to beat until they’re mixed well. Finally adding vanilla and beat until the mixture looks creamy.

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups of sifted flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp. of baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. of salt
  • 1 1/3 cup of sugar
  • 1 tsp of baking soda
  • 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup of soy milk

  • 1 tsp. of vanilla
  • 3 tsp. of egg replacer with 4 tablespoon of warm water
  • 1/2 cups of nuts
  • 3/4 cups of vegan chocolate chips (optional)

2. Put dry ingredients into a bowl. Brieftly mix the dry ingredient together with a spoon or fork.
3. Put oil, soy milk, and vanilla in a seperate bowl. Stir until the mixture comes together.
4. For smooth banana texture, put the banana in a bowl and mash them together. When they are nicely mashed, put the banana in the dry ingredient bowl and mix them together with a spoon.
5. Then slowly pour in the wet ingredients. Continue mixing until the mixture is smooth.
6. Prepare the pan by spraying or wetting a towel with vegetable oil and wipe tha pan. You can use a cut-out piece of paper to put on the bottom of the pan, wet with vegetable oil, so when it would be easier to take the cake out, especially if you're making a double layer cake.
7. Pour in the pan and bake for 35 minutes. You can test the readiness of the cake by using a chopstick or the other end of the spoon and poke it into the cake. If the chopstick has wet ingredients stick on to it, then it's not ready. Bake it a couple of minutes more until the cake tester comes out clean.
8. Remove from oven and let it cool. You can serve this immediately with a little bit of powder sugar sprinkled on top and crushed fruits. Or for a more extravagant display, you can use Soy Whip Cream or toppings to your liking.
- Note: Overmixing your batter will create a more dense cake with a tougher crumb.
