I picked up Vegan Yum Yum: Decadent (But Doable) Animal-Free Recipes for Entertaining and Everyday. today (truly, I ordered it two days ago but it arrived today)! So far I made mac-n-’yease’, a term I’d rather not encounter ever- and this! Strawberry ‘grunt’, evidently it’s Norwegian.
This one happens to be gluten-free too, since that’s all the flour I had in the house.
We’ll see how it tastes…
The berries are, of course delicious. The dumpling/cobbler top? Not so delicious. I made them too thick to bake through before burning on top. So the bottom part, the delicious part that is supposed to be well-baked and soaked in berry love- a tad underdone. Not terribly so, just not done enough. Lesson learned.
Also, gluten-free flour tastes weird. It just does. This mix has a distinct flavor, and while it’s not bad, it changes the dish a bit. Regular gluteny flour tastes much more neutral.
I am grateful to say that I don’t have celiac, in fact it’s not a wheat allergy at all that’s been bothering me, but an egg and dairy sensitivity. Hence the vegan cookbook. I’ll be a meat-eating vegan.
