Happy VeganMofo month! For those of you who don’t know what VeganMofo is, well, basically a bunch of vegans come together and blog about all things vegan as much possible throughout the month of October. I love this month because it means that I am photographing for myself almost every day. I’ve been working for clients a lot lately which has been so rewarding and fun but I think it’s important to take time to work for myself and experiment with new techniques. Last year I grew so much as a photographer during this month of blogging. I’m hoping for the same this year!
I’m going through a fig phase so forgive me if you see a lot of fig recipes in the next few weeks. This is a smoked tofu, fig & pesto sandwich. This is more of an amazing combination of flavors than a recipe. All you have to do is:
1. Get some soft delicious bread. I used a baguette from a bakery here in Brooklyn.
2. Smoke some tofu. I live in an apartment so I use this stovetop smoker. It’s pretty amazing.
3. Make your favorite basil pesto. I used this recipe.
4. Make some fig jam. Or buy some. =)
5. Assemble and eat.
Till next time!

I do hope you will share some more photos of your delightful kitty again this year??
Emily - I have been drooling over your photography for more than a year so I figured I’d take this start of Vegan MoFo to come out of the internet shadows and say hi. Hi :)
Also, that first fig shoot is absolutely stunning. I would frame that.
Erin - That’s a fine-sounding flavour combination indeed! Fig jam just went way up the list of jams I need to make this year.
Michelle {LiveLoudly} - I’m going to be honest.. I’ve never used a fig in a recipe in my life. This looks delish and makes me wanna try it out.
Thanks!
