A. If you are as lucky as me Christmas day does no to be a compromise this year.
For the majority of my adult life my family Christmas meal would usually have more vegetarians than carnivores around the table. This year me and my mother was invited to my cousins with the offer of a vegan dinner in recognition of my change in diet. Even I was surprised to the lengths that Simon and Yvonne had went to accommodate my diet.
The main course was Aduki Bean Pie (also known as Red Dragon Pie) with maple syrup roasted veg. The pie was just cooked to perfection and a very very festive centre piece to the table with it’s holly topping.
Not to be outdone Simon’s wife, Yvonne made a very sweat Chocolate Tart made with coco powder, coconut oil, coconut and dates. The individual tarts toppled out of their ramekins looking, and importantly tasted, better than any shop bought puddings. To finish off the plate I had brought cashew nut vegan ice-cream.
Once again during my Vegan Adventure I was so appreciative of the lengths my family and friends have went to share the adventure.
