香甜美味純素蘋果派
Delicious Homemade Vegan Apple Pie
(For the English translation please scroll down.)
鬆脆的酥皮包裹著肉桂幽香的蘋果派，在每年的這個時候最能給人帶來充滿温馨的美味！新鲜出爐時挖上一大球純素香草冰淇淋配搭著吃，可以説是最温暖人心的秋季甜點！如果你也喜歡這食譜，請讓我知道，我會盡快寫好與大家分享。
我先生頗頑固，又不喜歡轉變。我們住在這屋子 30 年了，一直到 6 年前他才願意給我種株我夢寐以求的蘋果樹。但他要我答應，有自家種的蘋果後，我會特别花心思做可口甜品給他吃，我當然欣然承諾，也要他保證會悉心替我灌溉小蘋果樹。
差不多五年前，我開始吃素，跟先生說想把經營了 27 年的小店改成純素外賣，他起初不怎麽同意。我不動聲色，開始每天給他烹調美味蔬食，兩個月下來，他態度從當初的不讚成到開始接受。但給我一個挑戰，如果我能和他一起把店裡每道小菜都改為好吃的素菜，他會乖乖給我當個蔬食廚子。
結果我們都努力承擔考驗，遵守諾言。蘋果樹在他用心照顧下，一年比一年红潤漂亮，我也經常用香甜的糕點給他慰勞。我們的豐收蔬食廚房四年前開門迎接左隣右里或遠道前來的客人，四年多來我們一直用感恩的心情、埋頭苦幹的行動來回報大家美好的心意。
之前有很多人問我，是什麽原因令我們不再吃肉。我可以很坦白回答，是從看了很多部紀錄片如 Earthlings, Cowspiracy, What the Health, Forks Over Knives …. 等等開始。
到最近，很多朋友跟我說，看了 The Game Changers 之後，他們覺得不需要吃肉了。
上月底，六十年來努力不懈地向人類介紹自然界的美麗與脆弱、對環境執著保護的 Sir David Attenborough 與 Netflix 合作拍攝的紀錄片 A Life on Our Planet 面世了。這是部不容錯過，充满教育性的紀錄片，請大家有空一定要看看！
看完片後，我老公第一句話就是：妳說好的蘋果派呢？
Gently spiced apples encased in a light and crumbly pastry, perfectly warming for this time of year, and very moreish! Best served warm with plant based vanilla ice cream, it is the most comforting autumnal dessert you could ask for! Let me know if you would like the recipe, I'll try to write it out as soon as I can.
My husband is a rather stubborn person and normally doesn't like change. We have lived in our house for 30 years, and he resisted the idea of planting the apple tree of my dreams until 6 years ago. Even then, it was on the proviso that I used our new supply of homegrown fruit to make him some delicious desserts. Of course I was happy to agree, as long as he takes great care of my beloved little apple tree.
I became a vegan about five years ago, and when I told my husband I wanted to turn our business of 27-years into a vegan takeaway, he wasn’t sure initially. Knowing him well, I was not surprised by this but also not deterred. So I said nothing and just quietly started cooking him scrumptious vegan meals every day. It took a couple of months but his attitude gradually changed. Then he set me a challenge; he said if I could work with him to turn every dish on our menu into an equally delicious vegan version, he would be happy to join me on this journey and be our hardworking vegan chef.
We both dedicated ourselves to this new direction in our lives and kept our promises, even when it came to the apple tree. Under his care, the tree has become more and more rosy and beautiful each year despite the harsh natural elements it sometimes encounters; and I fulfilled my side of the bargain by using the apples we harvested to make all sorts of sweet treats for him.
Harvest Vegetarian Kitchen opened its door four years ago to welcome our wonderful customers, and we have been immensely thankful to everyone’s support and encouragement since. We remain totally committed to working hard in providing good food and good service to our fantastic community.
Since we made this change, many people have asked us what made us stop eating meat? We can honestly say it was after watching lots of documentaries like Earthlings, Cowspiracy, What the Health, Forks Over Knives etc … all of which educated us on the food we were eating and the processes involved in getting it from the farm to our plates.
Recently, a lot of people have told us, after watching “The Game Changers”, they too have given up eating meat.
Sir David Attenborough's powerful new documentary “A Life On Our Planet” is another must-watch, offering a bleak, but in some ways hopeful look at climate change, and what needs to be done in order to reduce its impact.
“When it comes to the land, we must radically reduce the area we use to farm, and the quickest and most effective way to do that is for us to change our diet. Whenever we choose a piece of meat, we too are unwittingly demanding a huge expanse of space. The planet can’t support billions of large meat-eaters, there just isn’t the space. If we all had a largely plant-based diet, we would only need half of the land we use at the moment. And because then we would be dedicated to raising plants, we could increase the yield of this land substantially.” Sir David Attenborough.
As soon as the film was over, my husband turned to me and said, ”Where’s the apple pie that you promised me?"
