I’ve been travelling. Today is the first day I have cooked breakfast for my family in a long, long time.
I had not tried Isa Chandra Moskowitz’ Fronch Toast from my beloved, beat up, stained copy of Vegan with a Vengeance. My kids and husband pronounced it a success. Well, my six year old just ate it, after swearing she did not want it. That is a success, right?
You can use baguette as called for but I just used some stale bread. I don’t think the bread was vegan but waste not, want not, right? My husband bought it before I got here (details on here in another post, gotta run to the pirate festival in Ojai). I love using up things instead of throwing them away. I put it in a 300 degree oven while I was putting together the other ingredients to make it nice and dry. I doubled her recipe.
Weird ingredients needed are soy creamer and chick pea flour. Silk makes soy creamer but my dad says to boycott them because they are a subsidiary of a dairy company with cruel confinement practices. I bought it anyway, til I find a better resource. Trader Joe’s makes it too. I found chick pea flour at Henry’s farm market, but it is available lots of places. So is maple syrup but I got it cheap at Trader Joe’s.
Yummy yum!
