Are you ready for August’s MiniMoFo?
Our theme is: outdoor eats.
You can share your campfire breakfast, dinner on the terrace of your favourite restaurant, or a mug of cocoa on your commute if you’re in colder climes!
As usual, tag us on social media with #MiniMofo and #VeganMofo, or comment on this post, and check back at the end of the month to see our round up.
July has finished already – how did that happen? We’re into August already, and just two months away from this year’s VeganMoFo, so don’t forget to prepare your cooking caps for that!
This month our MiniMoFo theme was BBQ, and here is some of the wonderful food you shared!
Julie at My Apologies for the Novel made Buffalo BBQ Chicken from The “V” Word (link to the recipe is in her post!). She says it turned out great – and it certainly looks tasty!
Rosie made a lovely colourful Korean BBQ sandwich with homemade pickled pink radishes – yum! Also, does anyone else have crockery envy for her plate?
Kirsty cooked a BBQ dinner with BBQ tofu, beans (green and baked!), and steamed corn. And watched a movie with it too – sounds like a great evening to me!
Jenny posted a review of the Warehouse Cafe in Birmingham, UK, where they have a BBQ burger, which is topped with cheese, a grilled pineapple slice, and BBQ sauce.
Sarah blistered some shishito peppers to go with her spaghetti meal! I’ve never had shishitos before, but I’d be happy to try this meal for sure.
Amber’s feast, to celebrate an anniversary, had burgers, potato salad, beans, corn and unpictured apple pie. What a great way to celebrate!
July’s VeganMoFo’er of the month Jen didn’t let her raw diet get in the way of some grillin’ fun: check out these delicious veggies! You can find recipes and a video with more details over on her blog.
Jo grilled up some apricot – proving you don’t need to just go savoury for a BBQ! She says they “tasted just like candy” which is a great bonus for me.
Thanks to everyone who participated this month, and stay tuned for next month’s MiniMoFo!
It’s MiniMofo time again!
In July our theme is: BBQ.
We’d like to see your amazing vegan BBQ efforts. If you’re enjoying some good summer weather, show us what your BBQ-ing in the great outdoors. If you’re not so lucky, show us what you’re grilling up in the comfort of your own kitchen!
As usual, tag us on social media with #MiniMofo and #VeganMofo, or comment on this post, and check back at the end of the month to see our round up.
In June we invited our wonderful vegan community to celebrate fruit, and you didn’t disappoint! Here’s a roundup of the most mouth-wateringly delicious offerings we found. As always, there was a strong showing on Instagram, so make sure you’re following all of our inspirational vegan ‘grammers!
Over at VeganMoFo HQ we’re big fans of putting fruit on top of a treat and calling it healthy. Jenny shows how it’s done with these pancakes.
Fruit and pancakes were a popular combination, as demonstrated by Emily with these buckwheat and blueberry pancakes. Yum!
Rosie also made her breakfast fruitier by adding frozen fruit to her breakfast bowl. So refreshing!
Jenny was too lazy to add fruit to her own breakfast, and instead relied on someone else to do it: check out this banana bread and acai bowl.
Julie shares this delicious fruit smoothie, with a sneaky, non-fruit ingredient that you might not guess: romaine lettuce! If you’re intrigued, check out her blog post for more info.
There were also plenty of cakes with a fruity twist, starting with this chocolate-covered strawberry cake.
Emma has provided you with the recipe for these strawberry white chocolate bars. Just look at that crumble on top!
And here’s a sensational chocolate and red currant cake with a chocolate mousse topping. Can we have a slice, please?
Our blogger of the month, Jen, shares the recipe for Jamaican mango-banana muffins, made with local mangoes. Living the dream, indeed!
Unsurprisingly, strawberries were a very popular choice this month. Susan showed them off on top of an elegant little flan.
And speaking of elegant – could we interest you in this blackberry merlot sorbet?
And here’s another fancy dessert – these nectarines were caramelised with ginger wine and served with custard. Incredible!
And fruity dishes aren’t always sweet, as Dianne showed us with this portobello peach sandwich. Grilled fruit is perfect for summer!
And here’s a fruity salad – you can find the full recipe for this watermelon tomato basil salad over on Amy’s blog.
And finally, here’s the next generation of vegans tucking into some fruit!
We hope you’re all happily tucking into some fruit whatever season it is for you right now! Thanks to all our participants for brightening our days with these photos and recipes.
Stay tuned for our July MiniMoFo announcement, coming soon!
It’s MiniMofo time again!
This month our theme is: Fruit.
We’d like to hear about all the kinds of fruit in your life. Bake something using fruit, take a photo of fruit you like to eat, or use fruit in an unusual way – however you want, just post something involving fruit!
As usual, tag us on social media with #MiniMofo and #VeganMofo, or comment your post on this blog, and check back at the end of the month to see our round up.
It’s the end of May, and time for our monthly MiniMoFo roundup! This month, we asked to hear all about your favourites. It’s been great seeing the different interpretations of this prompt – from favourite foods, to favourite restaurants, and more.
For Mother’s Day, Lisa went to Modern Love Brooklyn, our very own Isa Chandra’s restaurant! It’s easy to see why this could be someone’s favourite place. Grilled asparagus with cashew hollandaise? Yes please! Check out her instagram post for photos of the other courses she had – all delicious looking.
Where would a vegan be without their avocado? I’m sure it’s a firm favourite of many vegans and Janet from Vegan Feast Catering is no exception. Also, how perfect does this avocado look? Jealous here!
Moon’s account on instagram is packed full of mouthwatering meals, and her birthday meal is no exception (Happy Birthday!). She followed it up with a chocolate brownie, which makes it even better!
Jenny blogged about one of her favourite restaurants, Lotus Vegetarian Kitchen in Manchester. She posted about a huge variety of foods her and her family ordered – including these prawn toasts, which she describes as “a deep fried toastie” – which definitely sounds very appealing.
Lisa’s favourite dessert is strawberry and rhubarb crisp – a classic combination, perfect for a summer fruit harvest. She’ll be posting the recipe to her blog soon, so that’s one to look out for!
Juli went to Kent’s first vegan pub – and this “Elvis burger” with peanut butter, pickles, and vegan bacon certainly looks like a good favourite to have. Yum!
Emma shared her favourite food – chocolate! This time, in the form of chocolate cake. Chocolate cake is always something we can get on board with!
Sal shared a blog post with her current favourite foods – including Tofoo, a new type of tofu she makes scramble with. Plus, ice cream, pancakes, tea, and more – some great favourites to check out!
Susan also went to her favourite restaurant, Easy House Vegetarian, where she ordered yum cha, including bean curd rolls. They look intriguing and delicious!
Jen from Living the Dream came through with another wonderful video sharing not one but two of her favourite things – kombucha and tiramisu! She also shares the recipe for the tiramisu on her blog. Watch the video and enjoy!
Julie shared a round up of her favourite things – including a corn & mac bake (the recipe is on her blog) and many more tasty things.
Nicole made pepperoni pizza and pepperoni bread with her homemade pepperoni…any guesses as to her favourite food?
Thank you to everyone who participated in this month’s MiniMoFo, stay tuned to find out what we’d like to see in June!
Are you ready for May’s MiniMoFo?
This month we’re giving you a lot of leeway as our theme is: favourite.
Hit us with your favourite breakfast, lunch or dinner! Showcase your favourite ingredient! Celebrate your favourite local restaurant!
Whatever you choose, make sure you tag us on social media with #MiniMofo and #VeganMofo, or comment on this post with a link to your MiniMoFo post!
We’ll have a roundup at the end of May where you can find out all about your fellow MoFo’ers favourite things!
In April we asked you what was in season, and as usual, you didn’t disappoint! Let’s take a closer look at you MiniMoFo offerings for April.
Feast your eyes on these fancy potato waffles and seasonal asparagus – perfect for an Easter brunch!
And here are some more waffles from Mrs S – these ones are flavoured with seasonal wild garlic. You can find the recipe in the comments on this post.
Emma has gone for a light, zesty lemon drizzle cake, which is perhaps the perfect cake for Spring. We’ll even let her off for choosing a fruit which isn’t in season in the UK!
What do bilimbe, mamey sapote, and jaboticaba have in common? They’re all in season in the Florida Keys! Thanks to Jen for introducing us to these fruits – check out her blog and youtube channel if you want to know what they are and what she did with them!
Emily whipped up this fava bean risotto, which used fava beans in three different ways. Intrigued? Check out the details on Instagram!
MiniMoFo-regular Julie did her research and made an asparagus, mushroom and parsnip dish. It was her first time trying parsnips! See what she thought over on her blog.
Even more parsnips from Sarah! They look cooked to perfection.
Over on Instagram, Amey teased us with this seasonal wonder. Do you know what it is?
Almonds! Apparently you can eat the whole husk!
For anyone who celebrates Easter, there’s nothing more seasonal than chocolate! Jenny selflessly reviewed these five different bars, just for you.
This is a lot of kale! We would happily help Janet tackle this gigantic kale salad.
Here’s more kale from Juli – and it’s been massaged! Veganism truly is a cruelty-free lifestyle, even our plants get the royal treatment. Find out more over on Juli’s Instagram!
And finally, MoFo star Susan wins MiniMoFo by putting a vegan creme egg inside a hot cross bun and putting it in the panini press. We’ll all be doing this next year!
Thank you so much to everyone who participated – what a talented bunch! Keep an eye out for May’s MiniMoFo announcement coming soon!
It’s time for April’s MiniMoFo!
This month our prompt is simply: in season.
As always, you’re free to interpret this anyway you like. We’re looking forward to seeing some regional variations, not least between our northern and southern hemisphere mofo’ers. How can you make your local fresh produce shine?
Remember to tag us on social media with #MiniMofo and #VeganMofo, or comment on this post with a link to your MiniMoFo post!
Check back at the end of the April for a mouthwatering seasonal roundup!
March has come to an end and it’s time to round up this month’s wonderful recipes! We asked you to create stuffed and filled foods which has been interpreted in some lovely ways by our MoFo’ers.
Julie made vegan stuffed pasta shells! Using different types of vegan cheese and sauces (including a chipotle vegenaise!) these sound and look like great comfort food.
The first of this month’s sweet potato recipes comes from Sarah, who made a simple but tasty looking lunch, stuffing potatoes with arugula, olives, tahini, lemon, and hot sauce. Mmm!
Jackie from Vegan Yack Attack also used sweet potatoes this month! She made burrito-stuffed sweet potatoes, filled with beans and rice, salsa, and guacamole. What a great idea!
Jenny wrote about her visit to a pasta restaurant! That’s right, a restaurant dedicated to pasta – and it has vegan options. She had a mushroom ravioli for a main, followed by chocolate ravioli. Yes, chocolate ravioli!
Emma did some baking for this month’s prompt and made Bourbon Biscuit Brownies. Brownies stuffed with filled chocolatey biscuits – chocolate galore!
The Hale Vegan made stuffed bell peppers – filled with red quinoa, beans, taco seasoning, and topped with salsa, avocado, vegan cheese and cilantro. Some great flavours here!
Jojo made this amazing mac-and-cheese toastie! What could make vegan mac and cheese better, but putting it in a sandwich? And toasting it? Heavenly!
Dianne shared her recipe for lentil stuffed eggplant. Don’t they look so cute and tasty?
Vegan bakers Pies for PDX made cheezy broccoli potato hand pies to sell at a charity bake sale – I bet they went down a treat!
Jen never misses a MiniMoFo prompt, and this month she delivered with these cheezy bacon pierogi and some sweet little hand pies. You can check out the recipes on her blog.
Thank you to everyone who participated in this month’s challenge – and keep an eye out for April’s prompt, coming soon!
