Thomas Beed: Vegan Plum Tart (Pflaumenkuchen)
This is a delicious recipe adapted from an old German recipe which I translated and also veganised to make it suitable for vegans to eat and of course non-vegans would not be able to resist eating this either. It is very more-ish.

- Egg replacement (Orgran No Egg replacement) 2 tsp + 4 Tsp water

About Guest Blogger: Thomas
G’day my name is Thomas. I live in the beautiful subtropical part of Australia called Brisbane and I have been an ethical vegan for 10 years. Before I became vegan I was a vegetarian and it took me some time to realise that the only way I could say I was doing anything for the animals with a clear conscience was to stop kidding myself that vegetarianism helps animals, because it does not. Becoming vegan and staying vegan has not been difficult as many people tell me it is. If you are reading this and truly want to make a difference then become vegan.
I enjoy many things like photography, running, walking, learning languages, playing guitar, writing songs and poetry, reading, blogging, traveling with my wife (not on work trips) and enjoying life. My mantra is, “Enjoying your life to the full before someone switches the light out.”
