Vegan MoFo #5: Milwaukee Monday
Welcome to the second installment of Milwaukee Monday, featuring Milwaukee-inspired food for Vegan MoFo. Today’s recipe is salted coffee stout caramels made with another Lakefront Brewery beer, Fuel Cafe stout. This stout is brewed with coffee and was made especially for Fuel, a cafe in the Riverwest neighborhood with lots of vegan options like the …
MoFo #4: Small kitchen tips and crafts
My kitchen isn’t as abysmally small as I complain. It’s perfectly adequate size for someone who lives in a studio apartment and cooks every once in a while. But of course, that’s not me! Cooking and baking supplies, appliances, dishware, glasses, produce, decor, aprons, and more are spilling out of every nook and cranny of …
Vegan MoFo #3: Cookie dough metamorphosis
I’ve been photographing food pretty much constantly for the past few months. Part of that process is redoing some photos I’m not too pleased with. Of course, I don’t want to recreate EVERYTHING I need to photograph, so that’s where magical chocolate cookie dough can shapeshift into cookies, biscotti, brownies, and pie crust. I began …
Vegan MoFo #2: Vegetable Murders
For day two of MoFo, I’d like to share a couple images from a series I’m working on for school. Tentatively titled Vegetable Murders, I’ll be slaying some fruits and veggies and photographing the process, wholeheartedly owning up to any completely clever vegetable killer comments from naysayers. I’m going to be working with this for …
MoFo #1: Milwaukee Monday Pumpkin Beer Pretzels
Happy first day of Vegan Month of Food and October! After last year, it seemed wrong not to start out with something pumpkin, so my first post of the month is pumpkin beer soft pretzels! I studied soft pretzel recipes and created a new recipe with a bottle of Lakefront Brewery’s pumpkin beer right in …
MoFo #19: Research and organization
The bulletin board and sticky note system is something that works immensely well for me. Organizing with color, shapes, and symbols makes so much sense, so that’s the way I’ve been organizing the physical copy of my recipe inventory. It’s really convenient because it’s in clear view in the kitchen and if I suddenly have …
MoFo #18: A few words on food photography
I struggle with photography a lot. Isn’t this the truth? Not a day goes by that I’m not in photography classes, shooting, editing, printing, and talking or thinking about photos. A light stand with a flash affixed to it is a permanent fixture in the corner of my room because I’d be collapsing and setting …
MoFo #17: Carrot Cake Oatmeal Cream Pies
These are for the Vegan MoFo Iron Chef Challenge #4! Cinnamon coconut cream is encased between two soft carrot oatmeal spice cookies for a divine fall treat. The secret ingredients were carrots and oats.
MoFo #15: Jack and Coke Cake
My friend Megan requested this cake several months back and it’s been in the back of my mind for quite a while. After making whiskey buttercream the other week, I decided whiskey would be more suited with darker, chocolate-y flavors. I made a cola reduction, utilizing the same method as the grape soda cupcakes and …
MoFo #12: Chocolate Malt Shake [recipe]
Oh my god. I drank less than half of one of these and I’m in a milkshake coma. This shake is not for the faint of heart. It makes an extremely thick, rich chocolate malt diner-style shake. Sip slowly, savor, and consider sharing with friends. This milkshake is here to tread on the fragile stomping …
