Bible Food - The Book of Galatians

For some strange reason, occasionally I get a whim to find out what people in the "Biblelands" would have eaten at the time of the writing of a particular piece.  Apart from the references to meat and dairy, much of what the people ate in those days, in that place, sounds like a good fit for a touring vegan.  Today we did a little dip into the Book of Galatians,  a letter (epistle) written by the apostle Paul to the Christian communities in Galatia.   Scholars date Galatians to around AD 48–55. If it was written earlier, it would be one of Paul's first letters, possibly before the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15, AD 49), which addressed the issue of Gentile converts following Jewish customs.   The main theme of the letter is justification by faith rather than adherence to the Mosaic Law. Paul strongly argues against the teaching that Gentile Christians must follow Jewish laws (like circumcision) to be saved. He defends his apostleship, emphasizes the role of grace, ...

Apple Pudding Cake: Apfel-Puddingkuche


If you are looking for a yummy German dessert that is pretty easy to make, this Apple Pudding Cake should take the cake (hahaha).  Some of the really delicious German desserts require the 'from scratch' use of baker's yeast, and for many of us who grew up in the Time of the Instant Cake Mix, we would likely do a pass on that.  Most German desserts are heavy on cream, butter and eggs, and some are not so "vegan-izable"-- or if they are, they are not really that tasty.  But this lovely comforting apple pudding cake is easy to make and doesn't require any ingredients that upset vegans.

This recipe for Apfel-Puddingkuchen is part of the collection for the "Ve Eat" German Favourite Recipes for the May 23, 2019 Alberni Supper Club meeting.  You can find out more about the Supper Club and the other recipes at the bottom of the recipe below.

INGREDIENTS:
  • 4 Apples, peeled and sliced
  • 1 Cup Brown Sugar (I used Coconut Sugar which has a mild caramel flavour)
  • 1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 tsp. Baking Powder
  • 1/2 tsp. Salt
  • 1/4 tsp. Cinnamon
  • 1/2 Cup Non-dairy Milk
  • 1 tsp. Vanilla or Almond Extract
  • 2-3 tsp. Vegan Butter or Coconut Oil (optional-- I left this out)
  • 2 Cups Boiling Water
METHOD:
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (205 degrees Celsius)
  2. In a deep 9" x 9" pan, whisk together the sugar, flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
  3. Add the apple slices and mix until coated with the flour mixture.
  4. Add the milk that has been mixed with the vanilla or almond extract.
  5. Stir until everything is moistened.  Smooth the top.  Dot the butter on top.
  6. Put pan on rack in oven and carefully pour in 2 cups of boiling water.  DO NOT STIR. (Put a baking sheet under the pan.  Sometimes it bubbles over when it is baking.)
  7. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
  8. Let cool slightly before serving.  Sprinkle extra cinnamon on top if desired, or omit.
  9. Top with Coconut (non-dairy) yogurt or Almond Sour Cream

The Alberni Vegetarian Supper Club is a culinary treat and then some.  Beginners or "old hands" at cooking are delighted with the international and local recipes.
