I'm a fan of the vegan brownies and vegan banana nut chip muffin recipes in The Joy of Vegan Baking, by Colleen Patrick-Goudreau. So when we found out that she had a new cookbook out, The Vegan Table
, I rushed right out to get a copy. (Okay, I ran to the computer and ordered it... but isn't that the same thing?)
The first recipe we tried was the less than successful Matzoh Ball Soup recipe I wrote about in my last post. But I know this author has some excellent recipes in her repertoire... so I begged Jane to make the Vegan Lasagna. She's got a few other things earmarked to try. But since she likes to "surprise" me, I couldn't tell you what she's got planned.
Back to the lasagna. YUM!!!! We've already had it twice, and we haven't had the cookbook for a month! We get three dinners out of this. We wound up using a slightly smaller pyrex dish, so Jane used a tad less pasta, but didn't cut down on the sauce and filling. We've found the first serving is a little wet. The second meal has the perfect level of moisture, and we tend to need a bit more sauce for our third dinner.
Having grown up in New York, on Sicilian-style Italian cooking... lasagna, ravioli, baked ziti, we tend to shy away from the veganized versions of these foods. Cheese is just something that doesn't usually work. But I can heartily recommend this recipe for even a cheese-loving omnivore.

This is a good cookbook. Try the Butternut Squash Timbale and the stew with tempeh, yum! I haven’t tried her lasagna yet but it sure looks good.

That looks like italian heaven!
Speaking of italian cuisine, whipped silken tofu, salt + (generous amount of) lemon juice + when all is prepared a squirt of olive oil on top- is pretty damn close to mozzarella when baked. (and only then, for some reason) This filling/topping works for pie, pizza, lasagna,,, you name it. Creates that melty/sticky effect that cheese lovers whine about.
)
+Add some turmeric if you want more egg-like flavour; grated garlic is nice too.
Btw, great site, I subscribed via email and your posts always make me hungry.

I make vegan lasagna to ease out the guilt feelings of serving cheesy lasagna to my family, week after week after week! And since lasagna is so versatile, I can easily sneak in different veggie in my recipe. My kids are eating veggies without making a big fuss about it, so I’m loving lasagna more than ever!

Oh yum…my husband would go crazy for this, he adores lasagna and I definitely don’t make it enough! This looks like a glorious dish, thanks for sharing these droolworthy photos!

I’ve gone through the Joy of Vegan Baking and I liked it a lot. I haven’t seen her new book though. It’s pretty easy to substitute the cheese but tough to find an alternative for the bechamel sauce and make a decent gravy without being dry. I have to get this book!

My family and I made a vegan eggplant parm that was to die for. I could have eaten it for the rest of my life! Gotta love Italian vegan cooking
