Vegan Truffles

Makes: 40 truffles
Time: 10 minutes, plus 2 hours for cooling

Ingredients:
3/4 cups of raw cashews
3/4 cups of cold water
1 pound of dark vegan chocolate
cocoa powder

Directions:

Use a blender to puree the cashews and water for 1-2 minutes untill they make a heavy cream consistency.

Set up a bain-marie, (bowl over a saucepan of hot water) and melt all the chocolate over a medium heat untill smooth, dont let it get too hot and bubble. Turn the heat down untill the chocolate is cool enough to work with; fold in the cashew cream.

Pour mixture into a bowl and let chill in the fridge for about an hour or two.

Form into balls and roll in the palm of your hands untill round. Then roll in whatever topping you like.. my favorite is Cardamon! But other options are Cocoa powder, Desicated coconut, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Flaked Almonds.. etc

Cats amazing BAnana muffins

Cat made about 50 of these the other night and there was not one left, delisious! Ideal for using up bananas that you've kept for a bit too long. (Really, really good if you add in a big bar of chocolate, all chopped up in the mixing stage!)

4oz butter or margarine
6oz sugar (granulated, caster, or mix in some demerara, whatever you have to hand)
8oz self raising flour
2 eggs
2 large or 3 medium, very ripe bananas

Heat the oven to gas mark 4; 180C
Grease a 2lb loaf tin.
Mash the bananas with a sturdy fork.
Cream the butter and sugar together and mix in the eggs
Mix together the two yellow sludges you now have.
Mix in the flour.
Scrape into the loaf tin and bake for 40 minutes then lower teh temperature to gas mark 2; 150C and cook for a further 30 minutes.

Try to let it cool (turned out on a rack) before you devour it.

The very first excursion of the Soup Kitchen

The very first Soup Kitchen back in the snowy depths of winter. We made the massive curry and struggeled across the ice to serve it outside college for free!! Despite the paper plates pretty much disolving on contact the soup and pitta was gobbled up and stomachs were warmed all round.
