Recipes from Vegetarian Vegan Cooking Classes

3 yummy recipes made from gluten-free sourdough discard and 2 other gluten-free flours. Sourdough bread has a number of healthy attributes, as we likely all know from our experimentation during the Pandemic Pause.  This time around we are working with a gluten-free starter (1/4 cup of brown rice and 2 tablespoons of filtered water--tap water has chemicals that can slow down the starter).  I take out 1/2 of the starter each morning, and then feed it again. I also feed it in the evening before going to bed. The portion of starter I remove-- the "discard"-- I either put into the fridge or I use it to make something.  GLUTEN FREE SOURDOUGH FOR EVERYONE Amazon Associate The following three recipes are a great way to use up the day's discard in a delicious, gluten-free, vegan way.  Gluten-free, vegan, Lemon-Ginger Pancakes (Firefly generated)   1.

Indian Spices Is there any more fragrant and welcoming place than an Indian Restaurant-- especially in the company of friends!  The fragrance and the diversity of spicy flavours come from the various blends of spices and pastes that are used in the cooking and serving of these delightful dishes.

Quite often if you arrive unannounced at an Adventist Church-- anywhere, in my experience-- you will be invited to stay for the "fellowship meal" following the service.  For Christians from other denominations or non-Christians, there is often a sort of gasp-look when they realize that there is not only no "unclean" meats, but no "flesh foods" served.  This 'rule' is not universal (or not universally enforced..lol).  In the Philippines under a tent gazebo attached to the church we were served fish, a staple in this community.  Sometimes a member who is also a First Nation's  Elder brings smoked salmon as an offering to the fellowship meal.  The occasional time I have been invited to someone's home after Church and have been offered a chicken dish.  But in general you can expect a vegetarian (ovo-lacto) potluck-- or less frequently, a strictly vegan meal-- at the Sabbath Fellowship.
