I’ve become increasingly fascinated with raw cuisine and in particular, raw desserts. If you have yet to try any raw desserts I urge you. You don’t have to be vegan or raw to enjoy these treats. It’s true. You may or may not be surprised to discover this ‘cheesecake’ contains absolutely no cheese. None whatsoever.This Raw Cherry Cheesecake by Aine Carlin is made solely from……wait for it…….cashews! Can you believe it? Some of you might be dubious, cautious, or even perturbed to learn that cashews make the creamiest, smoothest, luscious cheesecake that is sure to rival the real thing. Honest. I don’t kid around when it comes to dessert and once you’ve tasted this cheesecake you’ll know I speak the truth.
This Asian Sesame Noodle Salad by Stephanie McKinnie is wonderful served as a meal or side dish. Sesame oil and rice wine vinegar have got to be one of the most harmonious combinations ever! You can serve it cold or room temperature thus making it the perfect dish to bring to a party or potluck.
6. Vegan Scampi in Lemon Garlic White Wine Sauce
This Vegan Scampi in Lemon Garlic White Wine Sauce by The Meatless Monday Family Cookbook, Jenn Sebestyen is a really simple dish that tastes elegant. Hearts of palm are the perfect stand-in for scallops. They have a similar look when sliced and a briny quality reminiscent of seafood great for those with a shellfish allergy.
