Treat it firmly, not timidly.
-The Fannie Farmer Cookbook on pastry dough
I am into pastry lately. That's what I told Chris last night after coercing him into spreading olive oil onto phyllo dough, when he told me spanakopita was sort of an ambitious project for a Sunday night.
The spanakopita, the recipe of which I got out of Vegan with a Vengeance, is delicious. It has ground walnuts in it, and the filling is surprisingly cheese-like. And thanks to Wikipedia, I now know that vegan spanakopita is traditionally eaten during Lent. Lent starts on the seventeenth of this month, the perfect excuse for you guys to try vegan spanakopita.
Earlier this week I made quiche, and before that samosas with puff pastry, and before that another quiche. I've been playing with this vegan quiche recipe; it uses tahini and soy sauce, which I think is pretty brilliant. I've been using balsamic vinegar instead of miso.
