Based in San Francisco Hampton Creek Foods is on a mission to change the foods we eat by eliminating the animal products inside of them! Sounds like a big plan, and part of that plan is their first mission to make the egg obsolete by replacing it with plants! Sounds like witchcraft to me, but they use some rather amazing food technology to do just that. This is not just food production, it is food science! But the challenge is to try out their ingredients and see I they really do taste the same. And to do that I have taken just a small selection of the recipes I found on their site. Join me as I take a look at just ten of those recipes and when you have finished here why not check out the science behind their wild claims over on the Hampton Creek wiki page, but do hurry back because we have some amazing recipes to make…

This Dijon French green bean salad recipe is perfect for a light starter. There might be 4 calories in 1 teaspoon of Dijon Mustard, but countless amounts of taste and that is what makes this salad so extra special. To mix it up a bit try serving this gorgeous green bean salad warm to enjoy all those lovely flavours flowing up and into your nose. *sniff* I can almost taste it now.

Simply slice the kernels off the cob and place them in a bowl! Throw in some more things like peppers and tomatoes and a nice blob of mayo, and you have yourself a brunch time meal that is super healthy! If you really want to make it that extra bit special try rubbing the corn with 2 tablespoons of canola oil and season with salt and pepper. It will give this dish a real kick.

Bruschetta with tomato and basil is a quick, simple and very tasty dish that is great to serve at your next party. I found the recipe is at it’s best when you make a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and parsley, then spread it all over the toast even before you have topped it with the tomatoes! It like a whole new level to this recipe that you might not have thought of.

Potato salad made from hot boiled potatoes is a great Sunday meal that the whole family will enjoy. You can really mix this recipe up by tweaking what you cook with the onions. It might defeat the point of having the egg-free mayo, but adding some bacon to this recipe and really change the way it looks and tastes. Why not try it with some meat-free bacon!

Using fresh green beans to use in a salad makes it crunchy and full of flavour. Once again, this is the perfect starting dish. All it needs then is a big dollop of mayo to top it off and this can be an eye-appealing side complement to any special meal with a loved one or maybe just with the family.

A Waldorf salad is a salad with fresh apples and a mayonnaise dressing always makes me think of picnics in the peak of summertime. Did you know this recipe gets its name from the Waldorf Astoria Hotel who first produced the recipe? Well, I didn’t, but I always wondered why it was called that. Food and education, what more can you want from a blog post?!?
