awesome, i have that cookbook but haven't made anything from it yet. looks like i'll be trying out the irish soda bread very soon! my hubby hates raisins in baked goods so i'll be leaving them out.

It's that time again! I'm probably going to do the "Irish Breakfast" this year. Tofu scramble, sausage, fried tomato & mushrooms, heinz beans etc.

I make the stew and salad from this Vegetarian Times article every year (since 2008, when it appeared in the print magazine). For the salad, I omit the eggs, sub veganaise for the mayo and soy milk with a bit of lemon juice for the buttermilk. http://www.vegetariantimes.com/article/irish-feast/

awesome, can't believe that stew recipe was originally from 1970! am bookmarking this. i think i might make this but do some subbing of other veg for the b'nut squash and edamame.

I had never heard of bara brith, but looking at wikipedia, I think so!

I must make this again.

I'm working on a pot pie with porcinis and stout. And a homemade Irish Creme. And I don't know what else. Oatmeal sandwich cookies? I want to make an Reuben-y Hors Douvres, but only because I keep seeing it on menus.

I'm going to make every single thing mentioned in this thread because it all sounds so good. Does anyone have a recipe for vegan corned beef? I don't think I have a cookbook that has a recipe for one in it and I used to love corned beef and cabbage.

I love you so hard right now. I'm on a campaign to stop people calling drinks and cupcakes "Irish car bombs" as well. Care to jump on the band wagon? :P

I'm having colcannon for dinner, largely cos I bought scallions and the most gorgeous looking savoy cabbage at the co-op yesterday and hubs said he'd try it, which is practically a victory all by itself (he mostly only ate meat/potatoes/carrots for dinner when we started going out). We'll be having it with chickpea cutlets and veggie gravy, a huge pile of broccolli (as it needs eating) and marrowfat peas (who doesn't love peas?!). So yeah, a coincidentally very green dinner....makes me feel a bit overly hallmark though. To buck the curve I'm not wearing green, going to a parade or drinking alcohol - though that last bit is largely due to antibiotics :)

I'm going to make this Colcannon Casserole since seeing it posted in this thread! My tofu is marinating in Jasmeson's now! So excited, especially because the recipe includes gravy!

Pics later!

For twee, novelty-based food, that casserole actually looks pretty damn tasty....also gravy :) *bookmarks*

I really fancy the look of these (posted earlier in the thread), so may have a go at them tonight:

Betty Goes Vegan has a vegan corned beef and cabbage recipe - which they originally posted on their blog

I made it last night, though tweaked a little - made it without the cabbage, and we actually roasted the potatoes (ok, non-authentic I know), but the "corned beef" part we did follow directions for, and it was good! My boyfriend said the smells/tastes of the marinade/spices reminded him of what corned beef used to be like, even though the taste/texture wasn't the same. I've never had corned beef before, but this was tasty!

I'm going to make braised seitan & cabbage for dinner. I made Julialegume a mint chocolate chip shamrock shake yesterday, which is way more exciting.

Dinner was a Colcannon Casserole of sorts (partially mashed taters, beer braised cabbage, bread crumbs to bind, with homemade cheese sprinkled all over the top, then baked) with a seitan brisket. On the side we had Caraway Onion Whole Wheat Bread, and then for dessert I made Chloe's Chocolate Beer Cupcakes recipe, but I doubled it and transformed it into a 3-layer cake with Healthy Top as the filling and Chocolate Ganache smothering the top. Everything was tasty and delightful. Now I'm full and exhausted!

I just boiled half a cabbage, three potatoes, and three carrots in vegetable broth with a wee bit o' liquid smoke and apple cider vinegar. I served it with a Tofurkey kielbasa and some salt, pepper, and malt vinegar. Also, I put a little earth balance on the potatoes.

As in Vegan Bailey's? I want that so hard!

Meh, I wouldn't be worried about roasting the potatoes - corned beef ain't authentic either lol Plus roast potatoes are awesome!

I made green lentil curry last night. While the flavours were definitely not irish, it was green! LOL! I used green lentils, green beans and spinach for lots of green. Also I attempted my very first try at chappati bread. I was quite impressed with my first efforts. I gave some to my Indian friend who said I did a great job, his only suggestion was next time not to use salt as they don't do that in India.

I made the Mushroom Stout Stew with Biscuits from the PPK blog:
http://www.theppk.com/2013/03/mushroom- ... -biscuits/
I subbed in Seitan that I made that day in place of the tofu. Those potato biscuits are really awesome.

I also made (a version of) Colcannon, for the first time! Simple, just mashed red potatoes, and some fresh (and on sale) spinach and kale sauteed in onions and olive oil. I really dont like the consistancy of Kale, so i chopped it up really fine. It looked really really pretty in the bowl too. My pic is on instagram, and I can't seem to post it. Here is the link

I kind of had a stressful night in the kitchen, I kept dropping stuff and burning myself etc. So when I finally sat down to eat, I was dissapointed in the meal. But...my partner really liked everything. So I think I let my emotions rule my tastebuds. I do that sometimes. I have leftovers and they are pretty amazing.

I made it! It's spot on: http://ohsheglows.com/2012/03/12/homemade-baileys-irish-creammade-vegan/ Served it to my omni family, rants and raves all around :)

I did make this casserole and it was DIVINE but I was starving and impatient did not take pics. It looked just like hers only not as pretty. And I am looking forward to eating the leftovers for days because it made a lot.

I love you, Cimanim! You are my superhero! Mwah!

I had my leftover colcannon for breakfast. Om nom nom :)
