Tu B’Shevat (New Year For The Trees) Menu 2011

Chive Blossoms – our garden

Wednesday evening marks the start of Tu B’Shevat , one of my favourite holidays on the Jewish calendar. There’s something whimsical and life-affirming about having a New Year’s celebration for the environment and the seder (religious) service which accompanies it has a focus on our role as stewards of the planet, as well stewards of our own ever-evolving personal natures that I find inspirational. Traditionally this holiday is celebrated with vegetarian fare, and my centerpiece for many years has been eggplant lasagna.

This year however I decided to challenge myself to putting together an all-vegan affair!

This year I’ll be dishing out:

• Ciabatta Bread
• Fresh Green Bean Salad
• Carambola “Five Fingers” Cooler (from Cooking Light magazine )
• Ginger Broccoli (from Supermarket Vegan: 225 Meat-Free, Egg-Free, Dairy-Free Recipes for Real People in the Real World )
• Spinach Strudel with Pine Nut and Raisins (from Supermarket Vegan: 225 Meat-Free, Egg-Free, Dairy-Free Recipes for Real People in the Real World )
• Cuban-Style Fried Rice With Black Beans and Pineapple (from Supermarket Vegan: 225 Meat-Free, Egg-Free, Dairy-Free Recipes for Real People in the Real World )
• Frozen Banana Parfait (from Edenfoods.com )

For those who are taking part in the global Meatless Monday movement (an effort I’m completely behind), I hope that this also gives you some last minute ideas!
