Okara yum yum

So I've heard great things about this okara stuff, which is basically the pulp of the soya beans that you're left with after making soymilk. I didn't know what to do with it but what I came up with was some black bean cakes.

They were really REALLY yummy but they need work before I can post a recipe. These had okara, black beans, yellow pepper, onion, garlic and spices in. They were a little too soft to flip so they broke up a bit when I pan fried them, so this is something I need to work on.

I served them with brown rice with some broccoli and baby corn.



Today I went to an awards do for local businesses that are promoting healthy lifestyles to employees and we won a Gold award!! It was at the Four Seasons in hampshire which is unbelievably posh and beautiful and they catered for me! YAY.

I didn't get a pic of the starter, but it was a salad with loads of veggies and an awesome dressing. The main was this baby, it was so cute I had to take a pic - a baby pumpkin which was filled with spinach, mushrooms and herbs and served with other seasonal veg around it. It was sooo tasty! Excuse the crappy pics, I took them on my camera phone!

Desert was a fruit salad, it was yummy! I'm not used to actually having vegan food made for me when I go to events and even when they do, it's usually cack! So this was a lovely surprise.
