Hullo, everyone!
I'm curious to start bulking up my diet with some good solid stuff now it's coming into the Winter, and wondered about traditional Irish foods. My family are Irish, but not much of the culture has survived through the generations, and I'd like to pick it back up somewhat with food!
Anyone have any good old-fashioned Irish recipes that can be successfully veganized?

Since I've mooched a ton off of everyone else in the community, I suppose it's time I post a recipe for y'all to try.

So, today, it's a vegan rhubarb crisp.

Everyone's favorite basic miso soup!

Creamy Miso-Potato Soup

8 cups water (3 qts.)
12 medium potatoes (3 lbs.)
4 carrots
1 onion
1 garlic clove
Soup greens (celery tops, parsnips, parsley, and/or cabbage cores)
1 envelope Miso-Cup dissolved in 1 cup of vegetable broth

Scrub and quarter potatoes. Scrub carrots. Peel onion and garlic. Clean and cut soup greens and necessary. Place all vegetables in water and cook for about one hour or until potatoes are tender. Remove pot from heat. Take one cup of broth and dissolve one envelope of Miso-Cup into it and set aside. When soup has cooled, remove and discard soup greens. Remove carrots, slice and set aside. Puree potatoes with remaining water and replace pureed mixture into soup pot. Add sliced carrots and miso mixture. Heat for a few minutes and serve.

Variations: Add 2 cups cooked corn kernels, whole peas, or sprouted lentils.

I'm pretty sure I remember hearing something about something involoving animals in the ingredient Red 40. I'm not sure if it is or not, but is there anything animal product-related in this ingredient?
Thanks!

i work at a cafe, and we always have 4-5 cold "deli salads". they are made of everything from rice to chickpeas to couscous. we often have vegan foods because we are located in a very vegan/vegetarian friendly neighborhood.
does anyone have any good recipes for a cold salad with couscous, wild rice or chickpeas as the main ingredient? my tast varies, so i don't care if they are sweet salads or tangy salads. we are always so busy when i work that no one has time to write down recipes for me.
i would love to make anything with couscous because i love the flavor and texture so much.
thanks in advance.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew of a recipe for soy creamer. I'm a huge coffee drinker and was figuring I could make some of my own instead of getting silk all the time (as i cannot afford to). Thanks so much in advance!
