BBQ Potluck

Emily from aduki hosted a BBQ potluck yesterday and it was awesome, I also think it was the healthiest potluck I have been to. I didn't get pics of everything and I ate and then took pics, so I'm hoping that one of the many bloggers who were present, got the rest. Speaking of bloggers, I think most of the veg*n bloggers in Melbourne were there. I have no idea what most of the dishes were called or who made them, so apologises in advance for the lack of labels and names. Please feel free to leave details about who made what and what it's called.

The prettiest lookest savoury dish: has to go Craig's nacho pasta dish and it was damn tasty too


Salad's seem to be the fav dish to make, here are some of them:

I think this was pips, I forgot what it was called but it was tasty


Christie's pasta salad


Lidia's potato salad


I think this was Lisa's colesaw


Rebecca's lentil salad with preserved lemons

This was pip's, but I forgot what it was called


Salad in a pretty bowl from Vietnam, but I forgot the name of both the salad and the woman, sorry!


Rachel made asparagus tart.

On the BBQ, there were Lidia's mushrooms and Rebecca's marinated veggies (as well as fry's burgers and sausages which I didn't photgraph)

Mr T made mushroom, chickpea, sesame patties which he was dissapointed about.

I think this was a bean dip.


There were also these patties which sadly I don't think I tried:

And on to my fav part of the potluck, dessert:

Chocolate crackles

Choc cupcakes with peanut butter icing made by Rachel's sister. The icing was so good!


Cindy and Michael's amazing cherry slice, I had lots!


Fruit skewers, such as great idea made by Janice


Fruit salad with yummy balasmic sauce made by Jo


Lemongrass cupcakes made by Pip


And my contribution, ice cream cookie sandwiches:


I made choc cookies with both dark and white chocolate chips and then put a thin layer of peanut caramel and then ice cream. I followed the recipe for chocolate ice cream but used white chocolate, I think the vanilla essence kind of overpowered the flavor and it didn't taste like white choc. These are a work in progress, next time I need to make thinner cookies and put more ice cream but they still tasted ok.

I'm thinking about hosting the next potluck in a park, a picnic potluck since we have a small place and can't host one here.
