Note...Sarojini and Nandasuta officially changed their blog's name from "The Yogi Vegetarian" to "The Yogi Vegans" in August 2014, and are veganizing and updating many of their popular vegetarian recipes...yippee! :)
I've only recently discovered the wonders of hemp...it's a marvelous source of protein for vegans, especially vegan athletes, and its tangynutty flavor vividly enriches recipes for cookies, cakes and all sorts of bakes! Hemp milk can be used in place of any vegan milk in cooking or just drink it straight up. Hemp seeds, treats and supplements are easy to find and will quickly boost the nutrients in your diet! So far I use hemp protein powder sprinkled onto fruit and added into smoothies and salads. I love to learn how other people use hemp, including The Yogis' yumful creations! :)
Sarojini and her husband Nandasuta must have a heavenly veggie-loving kitchen! Their recipes always sound so delicious and they delight in trying new ingredients, techniques and combinations. Their plant-based diet is integral to their spirituality so they truly put their heart and soul into their cooking. I wish I could hop the ocean to have a seat at their table because it always looks so squealingly good! :)
I learn so much from reading The Yogis' blog! For instance, Sarojini and Nandasuta use some unusual ingredients which you will likely find in your local specialty/spice/imported food shop...if not, you can buy them online or try a substitution:
• black treacle...or use organic fair trade molasses
• jaggery/gur/gour...or use organic fair trade palm sugar
