Olives for Dinner

 Olivesfordinner ― http://olivesfordinner.blogspot.com

I am a 30-something amateur vegan cook whose husband is a "meat and potatoes" kind of guy. Although our food preferences and tastes are seemingly in opposition, we've found that a well-prepared vegan meal is something we can both agree on. Here are some vegan dishes from my kitchen that passed the test in taste, presentation and innovation.

Chickpea Panisse with Roasted Garlic Aioli

Olives for Dinner ― Ever since I discovered socca, I've been smitten with the rich and soft texture created by combining water with chickpea flour. And when I found out that you can also make chickpea fries out of the batter, I had to try it out. These fries are not...
