Happy Sabbath, Happy Kitchen

My kitchen smells heavenly right now. It's a combination of bread, curry, allspice, onions, jalapenos, is your mouth watering yet? Mine is.



The bread is a whole wheat batter bread. One of my favorites from The Complete Vegan Kitchen, by Jannequin Bennett. This is the recipe I'm making for class today.



Whole Wheat Quick Bread


1 1/2 cups soy milk

1 tbs lemon juice

2 cups whole wheat pastry flour

1/2 cup all purpose flour or soy flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup canola oil

1/3 cup molasses


Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease and flour a 9 " loaf pan. Mix the soy milk and lemon juice and let stand for 5 min or until the soy milk as curdled. Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl. Add oil and molasses to the soy milk. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix thoroughly. Bake for about 50 min.


I love this as a breakfast bread as an alternative to our regular whole wheat bread because it's light and almost sweet.

The other recipe is a Jamaican Chicken Curry made with my favorite fake chicken and a lovely blend of spices. It's for a groups of food enthusiasts that will be meeting later today. This one has a kick to it and I'll post the recipe after the reviews are in.
