Vegan Fondue review

I have been following the Vegan Lunch Box blog for a steady couple of years, and have worked my way through Jennifer Shmoo's back catalogue completely :) I bought her book (you should too: Vegan Lunch Box) for myself and have been picking and choosing which recipes to try sooner rather than later.

Who said you need to have kids to enjoy fun lunches?

Tonight, I made her vegan fondue (page 72), which I have been coveting for months. Actually, I made it as a mac-and-cheese sauce. This worked out very well indeed. To add some vitamins, the macaroni had diced carrots, frozen peas and frozen corn kernels added to it. The fondue sauce itself (no, I'm not giving you the recipe - buy the book yourself!) has some vitamins and protein in the ingredients, and of course no dairy at all, so it was reasonably healthy ... for comfort food.



Doesn't that look YUM???

For the record, Sox had three bowls, and I had two. It didn't taste like the neon orange box product they call mac and cheese (or KD: how many of us have noticed that they don't call it mac and cheese? I think it may be far enough removed now that it no longer resembles its' original inspiration ...) but it was smooth and very creamy, with a good medium level of cheeseness.

Yay! I made so much, there are leftovers!
