Dinner Party III

Dinner Party No. 3! 

I really love how we have established this little tradition of cooking three-course dinners for each others among us three couples. We started out last fall and have cooked really good stuff for each other since. This week, we started the third round of our "perfect vegan dinner" - and it was Italian themed.

Dinnerparty Nr. 3!

Ich finde es total toll, dass wir diese kleine Tradition füreinander Drei-Gang-Menüs zu kochen unter uns drei Paaren etabliert haben. Wir haben im letzten Herbst damit angefangen und haben seitdem immer nur leckere Sachen für einander kredenzt. Diese Woche haben wir die dritte Runde unseres "perfekten veganen Dinners" gestartet - und das Thema war Italien im Ruhrpott. 

Vegan Cream Cheese/Quark/Herb Cream

Ladies and gentlemen, I have yet to find a place that sells an affordable, great tasting vegan cream cheese or any type of vegan "quark" at all. Fortunately, I have a really cool boyfriend who makes those products for me!
It's really easy. The hardest part of the experiment is to find the right soy milk. We tried this with different brands and it just did not work with some of them. We don't know why. Our brand of choice is Alnatura Soja Drink Natur. Affordable, tastes good, and works for our cream cheese recipe.

These are the ingredients for Herb Quark or Herb Cream Cheese.
If you don't want the herb part, just... well... don't use the herbs or garlic.

Ingredients 

(for about 550g of cream cheese)

• 2l of soy milk
• 2 table spoons of olive oil
• 1 tea spoon of coconut oil
• the juice of one lemon (and maybe a little more)
• 2 cloves of garlic
• some salt
• herbs of your choice (we used parsley and chives)
