According to Mary Ellen Camire, Ph.D., a professor of food science at the University of Maine, “They’re loaded with soluble fiber, which helps push excess cholesterol through your digestive system before it can be broken down, absorbed, and deposited along the walls of your arteries.” [...] (2 votes, average: 4.50 out of 5)Ah, potato salad – a staple on the North American picnic menu.

Thanks English. This fine dessert is traditionally made with sugar, vanilla, cream, and gelatin as it’s binding and gelling agent. If you’re trying to reduce your consumption of animal products, you might consider avoiding the typical gelatin as it’s made from collagen that’s been extracted from by-products of the meat industry. That’s right friends, Jell-o is actually wiggly, jiggly, colourful blobs of animal. Luckily, there a few great plant-based gelling agents such as agar agar, derived from the cell walls of a red algae. Agar agar sets faster and at a higher temperature than animal gelatin, which translates to me as less waiting time ‘till dessert. Fancy, big box health food markets will carry it, but I recommend you look it at Asian food markets first, it’s way cheaper as it’s commonly used in Thai and Vietnamese sweets. Here’s my take on a vanilla bean vegan panna cotta, while not true to its Italian heritage of using cream, it’s still kick-ass awesome and kinder to your ol’ belly.

You can find Thai curry paste in most Asian markets; it’s simply a fragrant concentrate of all the quintessential Thai flavours like dried chilli, garlic, lemon grass, galangal and keffir lime. Red Thai curry paste adds some real heat to this soup so if you’re a heat-o-phobe than I’d suggest you half the amount of paste used. Click here for a printable, PDF copy of the recipe.
