Hi everybody,

My birthday is fast approaching (this Saturday), and as I'm in an odd stage for a student
involving no drinking I don't want to do the traditional "occupy a pub" party. So I've pretty much
decided on a vegan dinner party - I'll make something moderately large, and everyone else can
bring a dish and enjoy the foody goodness. So, could someone recommend something big (feed 10+
people), cheap (student so no money), vegan and tasty?

Thanks!

Hi Alex

I would do Red Bean Chilli - with brown rice and salad . Do 2 lots of 5 instead of one portion of 10
- easier to work with. (I would cater for 12 as you students are soooo greedy lol). Get you friends
to bring the salads and puds - apple crumble is easy to make and veganise - just ask for it to be
made with soya margarine. Soya dream is delicious and available in supermarkets to pour over. Have
lots of candles and balloons and good music...much better than a pub IMO. Enjoy your birthday!
PS I gave up drinking over a year ago and it's one of the best things I've ever done. Deb

Sweet potato and black bean burritos...so yummy... (Moosewood Low-Fat Favorites)... see google.comgroupsOpen ↗

I like making grilled caesar salad too; it's a nice trick, doesn't take much time and it's got a
really unique flavor.

(Cut each romaine heart in half leaving the stem on, spray with a little olive oil, sprinkle on salt
and pepper. Grill for a couple minutes on each side...little bit browned, a bit wilted, and serve
with tasty croutons and an olive oil/nutritional yeast/garlic/lemon juice dressing. I like it with
Granny Smith apples and white raisins on top. You can either serve each guest a whole half a romaine
heart, or cut it all up for everybody)

8&selm=34dd19e4.0%40news1.ibm.net&rnum=6 Hi Carey, This sound really good but could I substitute
another bean? Black beans are hard to get in the UK - not impossible but not local. I love your
roasted Caesar idea too. Often need something different for when friends come round. Deb

Oh yeah, definitely...I've made it with kidney beans before and it's just as good, even when made
with canned beans. 🙂 Carey
