Vegan Crowd Favorites

Favorite Comfort Foods

My favourite comfort food depends on the season and weather temperature.

In winter I love a vegan version of 'Patatas al Pobre': (it's a Spanish peasant dish: 'poor people's potatoes') I'm Irish so 'love a spud'. Simply, sliced potatoes, sliced Spanish onions, stock made from Marmite or homemade vegetable stock or both, generous splashings of extra virgin olive oil, and some freshbasil leaves. All baked till brown and crispy on top.

In summer I'm addicted to my version of Gazpacho. Fresh Spanish tomatoes, Italian green peppers, cucumber, lemon juice, salt, and mineral water all blitzed to a lovely juice. Gazpacho usually contains bread and depending on the region of Spain perhaps onion or garlic, but the above is the one I relish allday long and it's incredible how it combats the heat. We don't use A/C much here in Spain, well i don't!

And all year 'round I love homemade vegan chocolate chip cookies!!
