The Ultimate Brownie!

There is absolutely no reason why vegans should not have brownie so here I post a easy and great chocolaty brownie recipe. I really like brownies that have a lot of chocolate and I find that normally recipes that call for two kinds of chocolate are the best there should be a difference between "chocolate cake" and "brownie"

Ingredients:

2 cups of plain flour
1 and a half cups of demerara sugar
1 cup of cocoa powder
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 cup of vegetable oil
1 cup of water
100 gr of melted dark chocolate
nuts (optional)

Preheat the oven at 180 degrees Centigrades. Mix all the dry ingredients and then add the vegetable oil, the water and the chocolate. Mix well and stir in the nuts. Put it in a suitable oven dish, 10x5 inch or 25x17 cm aprox. is what I used. I covered it with grease paper to make it easier to clean afterwards, but otherwise cover the inside of te dish with some oil or soy spread. Cook for around 20-25 min, let it cool for 10 min and tada!!  I often find that brownies cook faster that the instructions say so check it every once in a while by putting a toothpick or a knife through the middle, it should be almost completely clean when it comes out. And remember is better to have a slightly undercooked brownie than a dry one!!

Enjoy!!

Tofulicious Thai Style Stir-Fry

Although this recipe is in no way my own I thought I should share it , since two opinions are always better that one. I found the recipe in: http://saffronstreaks.com/recipes/thai-style-stir-fried-tofu-with-basil/ . A food and travel blog that I had never encountered before, but it looks good, and I tell you what  - the pictures are way better than mine. Anyway, back to the cooking, this recipe is really delicious and real easy, it took me 10 mins - no kidding. Ingredients: for 2 people Korean Chilli Paste -one packet of tofu cut into cubes -1 red pepper, cut in which any way you prefer, I sliced it and cut it in half. - 2 cloves of garlic, minced - 1 small onion or shallots, as the blog uses - 2 birds eye chilli or chilli paste (I used Korean chilli paste because I love it and the chillies in Austria are not very hot...) - 1 tbsp of dark soy sauce - 2 tbsp of crushed peanuts -1/4 cup of vegetable stock - ideally white pepper - Thai basil, or Italian basil if you...

Sweet quince!!

To be honest I never really liked quince. In Spain we have it as a kind of spread and I hated it. Looking through Skye Gyngell's A year in my kitchen I found a recipe for quince and since they are on season I said why not? It is really really good, I don't particularly have a sweet tooth but this has a great texture, it's not overly sweet and neither is it complicated. It honestly surprised me!! If you are having a dinner party, this is the dish to serve. It's sophisticated and very nice. Serves 4: Ingredients: -4 quinces -115ml of verjuice (about a half a cup), this was easy for me to find because it was Sturm season in Vienna but it can be substituted by apple juice and a bit of lemon juice. -4 tbsp of sugar syrup (half water, half sugar and bring to a boil), if you are not fussy about honey use honey. or agave syrup? -2 cinnamon sticks -1 vanilla pod, split in half lengthways -zest of one lemon -4 bay leaves -soya yoghurt, to serve Method: Prehea...
