Calling All Vegans and Everyone Who Wants to Try A Healthy Diet Alternative

We're celebrating this wonderful lifestyle on Sunday, October 6, with my class Golden Nuggets in Grandma’s Hair

Preparation of this dish is lots of fun — and excitement!

Hi Everybody,

Finally! We are offering one of my five Vegan classes, coming up next week. Usually, we offer our vegan classes only to our private class students. But we thought many of you might like the opportunity to try our best vegan class!

It's also my most exciting vegan class! That might seem an odd thing to say but you'll know what I mean when you watch the rice noodles (which pose as Grandma's Hair) when they are dropped into the hot Canola oil! Snap! Crackle! Pop! and Sizzle! as the noodles hit the oil. It's always fun.

The class boasts a wonderful variety of ingredients and flavours, including peanuts, tofu, pineapple, mushrooms — and beyond!

Peanuts Swimming in Garlic and Lime Juice

We first enjoyed this peanut dish at a little outdoor restaurant, just outside Khon Kaen city a few years ago. Ry loved it! But then he always loves peanuts. 

"It's not just the peanuts!" I hear him object. I wasn't' fair with him, I guess, because it is the way other flavours mix with the peanuts which makes this dish a LOT different than the kind of peanuts you eat at baseball games. 

Long story short, this dish makes a great appetizer, especially when paired with a nice chilled beer which, sadly, we cannot offer for our public classes. But you get the idea!

Golden Nuggets in Grandma’s Hair

I just love making this dish! It's so much fun to watch everyone's eyes pop out when the rice noodles leap into the hot oil. Suddenly the noodles puff up and take over the wok, sometimes spilling over the edge. It's really a daredevil dish for vegans!

Three Mushroom Tofu Medley

If you love mushrooms, you will love this dish. It's a mixture of three different kinds of mushrooms, some of which you might never have tried before. On the plate are fresh Enoki mushrooms, King Oyster Mushrooms and Shiitake mushrooms. Puff tofu is also an important part of the dish

Yellow Curry Tofu Twisters

Shiitake mushrooms also play a part in this dish, along with Tofu bow-ties, sliced shallots, lemongrass, Tamarind juice, fresh lime juice, and Japanese Miso paste. It is a surprising mixture of ingredients and flavours which I'm sure you will enjoy!

Green Curry Sweet Potatoes

Although vegan, this is actually a classic Thai curry dish simmered in coconut milk and topped with cilantro. The mixture of vegan ingredients and flavours make it somewhat different than the usual chicken or pork curry dish. But you'll love the sweet potatoes, spinach, Sweet Basil, chillies and other ingredients that make this dish shine!

All Topped Off by a Tasty Dessert
