Are there any local chefs that you would like to see present classes?

These guys make an excellent project that I think has good taste and texture. http://www.nowandzen.net/unturkey.html

I don't have any help for you. But if you do suceed please post it. I have a number of friends that eat GF and would love to have short bread.

My favorite Veg restaurant in the Vancouver area is Bo Kong (either location).

Also in Ballard: The Penny Cafe is closed and Liquor license app is posted.

Hazlewood is just down Market. BalMar is right across from Matador. It has been interesting to see which will open first.

Cafe Moose in Ballard will be expanding their hours in October to dinner but will be closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Oh and two more bars are opening in Ballard (one a cocktail longue across from Matador)

It looks like I have convinced her to do a few class at PCC when she comes back from China.

One of the best vegan maragrines is called earth balance, not transfats and actually tastes good. You might also want to use coconut oil, solid at room temp.

Peanut Brittle

What about adding some fruit chunks?

How about shards of sugar glass in the appropriate colors

"On the left is what looks like broccoli rabe, and I think it is extremely close to that." This is Gai Lan. Also known as Chinese Broccoli. Very Yummy. "What I am not sure about is the thing in the middle... a sponge gourd, perhaps?" This one is Bitter Melon. I have seen this used in a dish where it is cut into pieces about 2 inches long, hollowed, stuff with meat and then poached.

My mistake was using Basing soda instead on flour for a roux. I now make sure that I label containers.

Great I might actually have somewhere to go after assisting with the classes there.

Would you be willing to post your recipe for the chutney?

I have done a thai green curry with Avacado.

I have also found the drink/soup/pudding in an almond and black sesame mix. I think it is a nice combination.

It is being Cleaned up and should be reopening this week.

I would recommend that you not serve anything to Licorice in it. It causes a substantial raise in blood pressure.

Which corner? Kitchen Store? ← The SW corner, actually a bit to the west of the corner about 2 buildings. I am not sure what the meny will be, I am guessing Italian.

Il Forno is open in Ballard at 24th and Market. Today it the first day. I haven't seen the menu yet but the window says Wine and Dishes.

I thought vegan just meant no meat or animal products? Sugar may be bad for you in excess, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't contain meat. So a good tasting cake can be vegan. Are people using the word vegan to mean "healthy" or "natural"? ←

Vegan Sweeteners: Brown Rice Syrup Florida Crystals Evaporated Cane Juice Agave Syrup To name a few.

I have seen them done as rings and as matchsticks.
