Peanut noodle salad is a dish that I’ve had hundreds of ways – some bad, some good. This recipe pretty much takes the cake for being the easiest to prepare and the tastiest. A few problems I’ve found with making this dish in the past is the stickiness of the noodles and the thick sauce [...]
This recipe actually came into effect during a vegan brunch that I hosted for some friends. I had intended on making samosas, but as time drew near, I realized I had the filling done, but no time to make the dough and fry the samosas before it was time to serve the rest of the [...]
I was going to start this recipe off by talking about what a classic American dish the Waldorf Salad is. Its THE perfect refresher snack on a hot day and gobbled up at 4th of July pic-nics. But that isn’t the reason I posted it. Ok, so…truth be told, I thought of this recipe because [...]
Lately, I’ve been craving quiche. I loved the stuff before I chose to give up all the animal products and I never could wrap my brain around using tofu to create something like an egg. However, for all of you skeptics out there, this recipe is THE BOMB. I’ve played with it just enough to [...]
Tofu recipes come and go, but here is a great spin on a Japanese-style kebab classic. If you aren’t feeling the tofu thing, you can easily substitute with big mushroom pieces or tempeh. Makes 12 skewers. What you need: 1 dozen bamboo skewers, soaked overnight in water to prevent burning 2 packages extra firm tofu [...]
Recently, I went to an amazing vegan/veggie restaurant in Amsterdam, in the historic Jordaan district called De Bolhoed. One of the most highly recommended items on the menu was their mushroom paté, which I had to order out of curiosity. Today, I attempted to make my own version of this delicious savoury starter and it [...]
When I was a kid, I hated brussels sprouts and refused to eat them. Now that I’ve learned to cook, I’ve realized that the reason I hated them was because I had never had them cooked a way that tastes as delicious as this! A perfect side dish for your vegan holiday feast! What you [...]
I live in England several months out of the year and for a country that isn’t exactly known for their brilliant cuisine, there are a few things they definitely deserve awards for. For starters, Yorkshire puddings, sausage and mash, and Sunday roast, just to name a few. All of which, I have found vegan recipes [...]
This one is especially for Jayne, who loves Sweet Potato and Leek Soup. Happy Cooking! What you need: 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes 2 leeks (just the light green and white parts) sliced into 1/2 inch thick rings 1 crushed clove of garlic 3 cups (24 ounces) veggie stock [...]
This is a re-make of my grandma’s original tomato basil soup recipe, but I’ve made a few changes here and there to make it both easier and healthier. If she were still with us today, I think she’d be really proud of it! Best served with a grilled cheese sandwich and a warm cup of [...]
