And Eventually, You Get to Very Pretty Indeed 🙂
Stir Until Your Arm Falls Off
Stir it until you feel like your arm is going to fall off, and eventually it’ll look like this…
Swirl a Little Beet
And then you swirl a little pureed beet into your coconut milk / rice flour / jaggery mixture…
Prettier
Rice flour mixed with coconut milk, poured into jaggery mixed with coconut milk. Prettier.
Just Wait
Beet Juice with Coconut Milk and Lime
I admit, vegetable juice drinks are new to me; I was a little suspicious when I first went to taste beet juice. I thought it might be very, well, beet-y.
But in fact, when you add cardamom, sugar, coconut, and most importantly, lime, the end result is a sweet & tangy drink packed full of nutrient goodness. This would be gorgeous in a pitcher on a brunch board, or served poolside.

Finishing Up Recipes
I’m trying to finish up the recipes for the cookbook by end of tomorrow, because on Tuesday, we’re launching the Kickstarter. Although that is maybe slightly overambitious, because I think I have 14 dishes left that I want to make:
– jaggery pongal
Well, we’ll see. I don’t think I really have to have all 120 recipes finalized before launching the Kickstarter. We’re getting close, though, exciting. I do think it was overambitious trying to do this in a year, initially — I think I have to allow two years to do a decent job on a cookbook like this. Which means Gluten-Free Serendib probably won’t come out until 2023.
Next step once I finish adding recipes will be finding test cooks; I’d like to make sure each recipe has at least 2-3 test cooks. And also re-making a few of them to take better photos — some of the photos from Feast for recipes that are carried over have egg or meat in the photo (from other dishes), and I’d like to avoid having any of that in the vegan cookbook.
