Dofurky

 based on The Spruce Eats


1 cup vital wheat gluten
1/3 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
1/2 t baking powder
1 T black pepper
1 T smoked paprika

Mix the dry ingredients together in a large bowl.

5 T soy sauce
3/4 cup water

Add the liquids to the dry ingredients and stir briefly with a fork until all combined.
Next, use your hands to knead everything together. If necessary, add more water. The dough should be soft enough for you to easily press your fingers in. Knead it 10-15 times.

Let the dough rest for 5-10 minutes before kneading again.

Break the dough into 8-10 smaller pieces, and stretch each out into a thin cutlet (thinner than your finger width). 

In a large pot, combine some broth with soy sauce and ginger. Add the cutlets to the pot. The cutlets will more than triple in size, so don't fill the pot too high and make sure the pot is large enough. Bring the broth to a boil, reduce the heat, and let the cutlets simmer for about 1 hour.

Take the cutlets out. After letting the cool, squeeze out some of the extra liquid. Cut the cutlets into small squares, and fry them in some toasted sesame oil for 5-10 minutes. Add salt if necessary.

Chili-Lemon curry

By Dieter

2 medium sized cooked sweet potatoes
1 small head of cauliflower 
5T cooked fava beans
Half a can of corn
3 carrots 
20cm of ginger 
1 small jalapeño 
1 Meyer lemon (alternatively mix lemon and orange juice)

2T smoky chile lime rub
1T sugar
3T toasted sesame oil 

Cut the cauliflower, sweet potatoes, and carrots into pieces. Heat the toasted sesame oil in a large frying pan at medium heat. Add the cauliflower and roast it for a few minutes. Next add the sweet potatoes and the ginger and stir for a minute, before adding the remaining ingredients. Let it simmer for a little bit for all the flavors to combine. If you don't have the smoky chile lime rub, add chile flakes, smoked paprika powder, salt, and more lemon juice. 



Lemongrass curry

Based on the World Food Cafe cookbook


4 stalks of lemongrass
1 small onion
1 clove of garlic
fresh ginger (same amount as of onion)
1 T coriander powder
1 T ground chilies
sunflower oil
water

tofu
1 head of broccoli
1 small courgette
1 bell pepper

1 stock cube
tamari
4 kafir lime leaves

Cut the lemongrass, onion, garlic, and ginger into pieces. Add them into a blender, together with the coriander powder and chilies, and add a bit of oil and water to blend into a smooth paste.

Fry the paste at medium heat in a large wok for about 5-10 minutes, stirring it to have it cook all through. In the meantime, cut the tofu and the vegetables into mouth-sized pieces. When the paste releases a nice smell, add the tofu and the vegetables, and cook the vegetables briefly until they start to become soft. Add the tamari and stock cube, while maybe adding a bit more water, to create a sauce with the paste, and throw in the cut-up lime leaves. Cook for another 2-3 minutes and serve over Basmati rice.

By Dieter

3 T sunflower oil / Sonnenblumenöl
1 T toasted sesame or peanut oil / Gerostet Sesamöl oder Erdnussöl

1 pack smoked tofu / geräucherter Tofu
1 C peas / 1 Tasse Erbsen
1/2 C ananas / halbe Tasse Ananas
5 dried Kaffir lime leaves / 5 getrocknete Kaffir-Limettenblätter

Wash the potatoes, cut into squares, and boil for ~10 minutes. Heat up the oil in a large pan and add the ginger, coriander powder, and salt. When the oil is hot, add the chilis, potatoes, tofu, peas, and pineapple. Stir through until everything is well covered in the oil and warm. Break the lime leaves into small pieces and stir under. Briefly let heat through so all the flavours can combine.

Wasche die Kartoffeln, schneide sie in kleine Stücke, und koche sie für ca 10 Minuten. Erhitze das Öl  auf mittlerer Stufe in einer grossen Pfanne und gib den Ingwer, das Korianderpulver, und das Salz hinzu. Wenn das Öl heiss ist, gib die Chilis, Kartoffeln, Tofu, Erbsen, und Ananas hinzu. Rühre gut bis das Öl alles bedeckt und alle Zutaten gut warm sind. Zerbröckel die Limettenblätter in kleine Stücke und rühr sie unter. Alles kurz durcherhitzen so dass sich die Aromen verbinden können.

Chocolate croissants

By Dieter





puff pastry
chocolate fudge


Make sure to get puff pastry and not any of the other kinds of pastry (not filo, nor shortcrust etc.).


Let the puff pastry defrost. It is now ready to use, and can be folded into all different shapes with a tablespoon of fudge inside. For more puffiness, flatten the pastry, fold over, flatten, fold, repeat a few times. Bake in an oven at low temperature ~170C/340F for ~15 mins until the tops are golden and crispy.

Vanillekipferl (German vanilla moon cookies)

By Lucia Lukas

When we lived in the UK, Luci used to make these and send them to us for Christmas. Now that we live in the US, we don't think they would get past customs so we learned how to make them ourselves!

150g Earth Balance salt-free vegan butter
50g Sugar
210g Flour
75g Ground almonds or hazelnuts
Powdered sugar
Vanilla
  • mix butter, sugar, flour, and nuts
  • put dough in fridge for 10 minutes
  • make a roll, cut pieces, form them into crescent moons
  • bake at 180 celsius for 8 minutes (check colour)
  • coat in mixture of powdered sugar and vanilla (vanilla flavored sugar is better because the vanilla is already mixed in, but you can also pour vanilla into powdered sugar and mix it together)
