I got an invitation to the launch of Candice Hutchings new Cookbook the EDGY VEG at the YouTube space downtown. Although I had never heard of Candice who has a YouTube channel with her recipes I was curious to find out about what she has been cooking up. She claims to make Vegan food that will satisfy a carnivore. Candice wrote the cookbook with her husband who isn't a vegan so she was trying to come up with recipes that would satisfy his tastebuds and that they could both be happy with.
I have to say that the Youtube space is a very cool little spot and they had Activated Charcoal lemonade as well as Kombucha Mimosa's for everyone to sample along with wine.
I was there with my fellow bloggers Natalie (Cooking Quidnunc) and Shuang (The Teleporta). The room was filled with all kinds of people including Abbey Sharp from Abbey's Kitchen and Home Economist/tv personality Mairlyn Smith who we had a very nice chat with.
I can't say that much about the food because I only sampled 2 things, the Pulled Jackfruit Slider which was really good and was meant to be a substitute for pork.
I also had a small bit of the "cauliflower chicken wings" basically a tempura like batter dipped cauliflower with a chicken wing sauce. I love cauliflower so I also enjoyed this bite.
We didn't stay very long so I think we missed a few things. I saw that there was a Vegan chocolate Mousse that we missed.
But I did like what I tried and would recommend checking out Candice's Youtube channel or picking up her new EDGY VEG cookbook at an Indigo bookstore near you.
