I have ambitions to put on a fully vegan wedding reception for my wedding. We’re starting to look at locations and both places we’re looking at right now have their own catering. One of them says they’ve never had a vegan wedding before, and he asked me what I had in mind, perhaps the cook could make it.
My family, and Billy’s family, are meat eaters. They’re going to be expecting some sort of beef/chicken/fillet type meal, so I want our meals to be excellent…but not too complicated or “vegan” if you catch my drift. I thought maybe a nice pasta dish, with some sort of tomato sauce as a base would be nice.
Does anyone have any suggestions, ideas, menu ideas, or resources for me? I’d like to be able to tell them more than “pasta with tomato sauce” otherwise that’s exactly what we’ll get.

I think a vegan wedding cake deserves its own blog post!
Here’s the amazing cake Kamber at Sticky Fingers Bakery made for us:
It was a two-tier vanilla cake with fondant on the outer layer. Those flowers are all sugar flowers – totally edible!
The cake looked wonderful and tasted amazing. Our guests had no problem polishing off the entire thing (even the non-vegan ones).
I highly recommend Sticky Fingers Bakery if you’re looking for a wedding cake, or just a vegan treat.

I had the chance to cook in the last few days. First, I made wild mushroom orzo risotto, and Italian style kabobs from Vegan Italiano. This book has not disappointed me yet, everything comes out really well. The kabobs have red pepper, Brussels sprouts, red potatoes and red onion and they’re basted in Italian dressing. Really simple and delicious.

Today, I made the dill and chickpea basmati rice from V’con. It’s good enough, nothing stellar. There didn’t seem to be nearly enough liquid to cook the rice in, as everything is cooked in one pot, so I added more. It ended up pretty sticky. The lemon juice added at the end is a nice addition however.
Then for dessert, apple peanut butter caramel bars, also from V’con. These are fantabulous. They don’t stick together very well, but you can just eat it with a fork. With taste that great, no one is going to complain.
