Category: Transitional food
Food recipes that could include dairy products (mostly butter, ghee butter), flour, sugar, tomatoes, potatoes, garlic and onion, cooked vegan dishes or seafood. Non-vegan, but still good to try dishes, especially during transitional phase from being carnivore to herbivore.

1-2-3 tasty salad with chestnuts, dried tomatoes and green sweet peas
Important to know:
Rye bread, home-made from whole grains (not using any flour) is a super food, releasing constipation and contributing to gut health
Ingredients of the vegan mayonnaise which I bought (honestly, the taste is amazing, much better than any egg-based mayo I have ever tried): water, rapeseed oils, mustard (water, spirit vinegar, mustard, sugar, salt), sugar, modified crust, thickeners: xanthan gum, guar gum, spirit vinegar, salt, antioxidant: E385, colorants: carotenes. No preservatives
E385 is calcium disodium EDTA, commonly used as a chelating agent, preservative and antioxidant (to prevent oxidation by chelation) in canned food. It stabilizes food by binding with free polyvalent metal cations (1). Preservative! On the label it is written that there are no preservatives, have you noticed?:)
For me, this is some kind of transitional food, because:
consumption of tomatoes is highly limited in my food ration
mayonnaise, even if it is vegan and super well done with good ingredients – it is still some kind of unnatural food for the human…
The passion for food is deep and strong, passion for tasty food is unlimited. Here is one of the “I can’t stop eating it” recipes. Marinated mushrooms prepared in hours and eaten in minutes!
P.S.
The passion to go deep into a structure of words sometimes bring funny conclusions. For example, the word “mushroom” for me consists of two words: first one is “mush”, which means “a soft, wet, pulpy mass”, and second one is “room”. So, my unofficial version of the origin of the word “mushroom” is just a room for a soft pulpy mass. Funny, isn’t it?:)
"mush" - "room"
Know the Latin names!
Widely cultivated and well-know type of mushrooms is Agaricus bisporus

Abbreviations and their meaning
How to make it:
Wash mushrooms and cut them into 4 slices along
Peel and mince garlic
Put into a pot (capacity 2 liters or more) olive oil, apple vinegar, salt, sugar, pepper, allspice and bay leaves
Bring the mixture to boil, but on a low or medium heat. The mixture should not be crazy boiling, just catch first bubbles and
Add minced garlic first, count till 10 and add mushroom slices. No way for garlic to over-burn!
Cover a lid of a pot and bring the mushroom-in-marinade mixture to a boil (that will take approximately 5-7 minutes), again, on low or medium heat. Do not allow the mixture to get crazy with boiling bubbles!
Mix everything time to time and you will see that the excess of liquid will appear in a pot, as mushrooms will release their water content
When the liquid will start to boil, let it boil slowly for 5 minutes
Remove a pot from fire and let it cool down for 1-2 hours with a lid open
Transfer marinated mushrooms with marinade into clean and dry glass jars (0.2 – 1.0 liter size, as you prefer)
Let the jars stay in a refrigerator for at least 4 hours or even overnight
Serve with a piece of rye bread. It is ready!
Important notes:
Marinated mushrooms are good to eat within 7 days, if prepared according to this recipe (in my case, they never stay longer than 2 days, just crazy tasty:))
Be sure not to overcook garlic, it should not turn brown after adding into hot oil-vinegar mixture
All the procedure of boiling should be very moderate boiling. The idea is to keep it lightly boiling but not crazy boiling. Why? Because crazy boiling affects negatively nutritional value of vegetable oil and mushrooms and could be even not health-beneficial
Let the mixture cool well before putting it into a refrigerator – that would allow to avoid condensed water to flow back to the top of marinated mushrooms, also, hasty changes in temperature lead to food nutritional destruction and sooner spoilage, Be patient!:)
When taking marinated mushrooms out of refrigerator sometimes you could notice that oil has turned in solid – no worries – just let a jar stay on a counter for 30 minutes, oil content will return as liquid then.

It is something like ice-cream, but different. Vegan, vegetarian, paleo, maleo, whatever you call it – it is tasty:)
Ingredients:
almonds, 1 cup
fresh water for soaking
fresh water for blender mixing, ratio 1:1 with soaked almonds
cane sugar, 2 tsp
vanilla extract, 0.5 tsp
How to make it:
Soak almonds overnight for 8-12 hours
Drain and rinse
Measure the amount of soaked almonds and use the same amount of water to blender these two ingredients. For example, you have 1.5 cups of soaked almonds, that means you take 1.5 of water to blender
Blender almonds with water on medium-high speed for 2 minutes
Drain the mixture through cotton cloth or milk-bag
Pour the liquid into a large pot. Large pot is better, even while we have small amount of liquid, because it has bigger surface area of a bottom and therefore simmer process will be faster and even
Add sugar and vanilla
Simmer the liquid in a large pot for 1 hour, mixing it time to time with a whisk. Heat should be as low as possible! No hurry here!
Liquid will start to thicken, so keep on simmer until you will get very thick creamy consistency
Remove a pot from heat and cool creamy mixture down
Transfer the creamy mixture to ice-cube moulds and freeze. It is ready!
