Everybody can join and make comments plus, if you are a vegan cook, you can become a chef, create your profile and add your recipes. Unfortunately is wasn't my idea :) VeganWiz is the English version of VeganBlog, an italian community with over 250 italian chefs. There's also a french and spanish version.

You've asking for it so there we go!
Hunt the hunter - Let animals live in peace

This is how I want it, my design will be screenprinted on a green organic t-shirt.
More more more t-shirts to come!

Bancha Tea


oooh so alkalizing!
In the winter I drink it instead of water with a few pieces of ginger.
Bancha tea is a cure for his particular alkalinizing effect on the blood. It also contains iron, calcium and vitamin A and helps in the digestion of fats. Apparently there are two types of bancha tea and the taste is very similar: Kukicha and Hojicha with a minimum content of caffein.
In the morning I prepare a liter and 1 / 2 of bancha tea, I put it in a special bottle to keep it warm and I drink it throughout the day, whether at home or when I'm out.
PS: the background, the tiger and the donkey that I drew on the wall to please my little devils, I copied Aurelia Fronty ... she designed the game cubes for DJECO.

Castagnaccio


Great for breakfast, I tasted a delicious castagnaccio at a birthday party last week. Thinner than usual and quite sweet, the flavor of olive oil was mixed perfectly with the sweet chestnuts and malt. I tried it at home and voila! Castagna is chestnust in italian and castagnaccio could be translated in "roughchestnutthing"... something like that. It is a very old cake, infact it is very simple to make.
The ingredients:
(you do the proportions, should not be thicker than an inch)
4 cups of chestnut flour
1 cup rice malt
1 / 2 cup of olive oil
Enough water to form a liquid paste.
Mix well to remove lumps and add two handfuls of raisins.
Leave in refrigerator overnight or at least a few hours.


Pour into a baking dish, sprinkle with pine nuts and bake at 170 degrees (not too hot) for three quarters of an hour or until it forms the typical creases on top. Also excellent with chocolate melted over (for those who do not particularly like the taste of chestnuts or for children). This is a great alternative to the usual wheat flour cakes.
