I'm not sure if everyone knows for sure, but right now i'm in a nutrition class. It's been a pretty good class, and for the final project, we had to create a menu with mealsfor vegans, ovo-lacto vegetarians, and non-vegetarians (omnivores). I had to create a 3-5 course meal for each. Also, each 3-5 course dinner had to have at least 600 calories, no more than 1000 calories and less than 30% of the calories had to be from fat.
It was kind of challenging, and I really wanted to stay in the Belgian tradition for food, mostly because that has been a cuisine that I have become very familiar with. I found that it's really hard to find decent vegan selections because the Belgians use butter in absolutely everything.
But I did it! And here's the menu:

Your menu is impressive, though I have to say my favorite dish (for entirely non-culinary reasons) is strawberries drenched in chardonnay...so awesome.
How do you make a vegan shortbread without butter? (Isn't shortbread traditionally just butter, sugar, flour, and salt?)
Did you have to cook all those options then as well??
Question, what exactly is considered chutney? I made an apricot chutney to go with some pork the other day, but I was wondering was makes it a 'chutney' versus 'chunky sauce'. (if you have already explained elsewhere, my apologies)
