When are dumplings not a good idea? They really are my “vegan chicken” soup for the soul, and the meal is even more satisfying when you’ve made the dumplings all yourself. These wonton dumplings filled with wild mushrooms and chives are absolutely heavenly and a meal...
I liken curry to the ultimate, wholesome fast food for the culinary vegan- so many flavors can be produced in no time at all and it's healthy to boost. But what to drink with it to take it to the next level? As a wine professional, most times when I cook a curry, I...
I have a special love for Spain, its people, culture and cuisine. Perhaps it stems from my early childhood years when my parents owned a summer home in Benidorm on the east coast of Spain, all the way to today as I now have a sister-in-law from Madrid who is as...
When I went vegan nearly 8 years ago I was committed to never missing out on the flavors, textures, sensations, and pleasure I so enjoyed while eating the traditional dishes I’d grown up with. So much of our food is based on tradition, memories from childhood, fun...
I had all sorts of plans to publish this post over a month ago but it seemed like a beast of an article to write so I kept postponing it. But as the saying goes, all good things are worth waiting for, so I hope you will agree that there will be a lot of valuable info...
Risotto is one of those dishes many are intimidated by, and less likely to attempt making…There’s nothing really magical or scary about it, and when you take a bite into a well-made risotto, well… it’s definitely worth standing over the stove for the 20-30 minutes it requires your undivided attention.
I love noodles in all forms, and when I want a healthy, flavorful, quick, and easy meal I almost always resort to some type of Asian cuisine. This version of a sesame noodle dish with peanut sauce is more of a Chinese-American dish that I like in part because you don’t have to stress about serving it right away after you cook the noodles.
Both corn and zucchini are the quintessential summer foods. They are plentiful this time of year, both at farmer’s markets and in grocery stores and if you are a member of a weekly CSA, I’m sure you have received plenty of summer squash thus far. So what to do with them, week after week? My mission is to always experiment with different recipes, discovering the versatility of these gorgeous vegetables.
Lately, I’ve enjoyed cooking with tofu. This fermented soybean product is a very versatile product filled with protein, iron and calcium, and many other proven nutritional features and health benefits…The good news is that tofu makes for a brilliant food on the grill and can be seasoned, marinated, and prepared in so many ways, depending on what you feel like cooking and eating.
