It’s funny how we all go through phases of what we crave and eat regularly. While I do make a lot of new dishes each week there are certain recipes that find there way onto my plate somewhat regularly. Oddly enough, this Spicy Szechuan Bean Curd always ends up in [...]
I’ve ad a bag of lentils in my cupboard or MONTHS now. I’ve been meaning to make lentil soup since about… January and it never quite happened. I bought the ingredients so many times but I never got it together! I don’t remember what I was reading the other day but it involved a tagine [...]
Around this time of year in Ontario (and probably other places too) fiddleheads become all the rage. Growing up I remember seeing fiddleheas in the supermarket and thinking that they look totally weird. I was curious but not curious enough to buy.
Fast forward to yesterday when I was cruising through Whole Foods [...]
Every once in a while I get a random craving. The other day it was for tuna salad. I RARELY eat tuna salad but my body had “eat tuna salad” on repeat so I had to give in… and quickly.
I didn’t want just the standard tuna salad, I wanted something “classy” so I [...]
I didn’t grow up eating a lot of “traditional” foods. I didn’t eat Kraft Dinner, grilled cheese sandwiches or casseroles in general. When I went away to college I started to branch out and try some of these foods. Kraft Dinner never really caught on but I became a fan of grilled cheese (with [...]
My Whole Foods Market Cookbook is one of my most well-used cookbooks. Whenever I want some healthy-ish and veggie or grain laden I check it out. The other day I was consumed with the idea of making stuffed peppers. It’s not like I had ever really eaten a stuffed pepper before [...]
I can say without hesitation that this is one of my favourite recipes ever. period. not my favourite tofu recipe. not my favourite recipe featuring peppers. Just one of my favourite recipes – which is no small feat considering that the primary ingredient is tofu. Now I don’t have any problems with tofu [...]
Sometimes Whole Foods hits the nail on the head. I ended up with another half brick of tofu that I was trying to get rid of and started flipping through the Whole Foods Cookbook when I came across this recipe.
It was clearly up my alley. Tofu? good. Miso? good. Bok Choy? [...]
Something in the combination of dreary winter days and being a vegan (albeit temporarily) has me craving soup. The good thing about soup is that usually it doesn’t take a lot of work to make a recipe vegan. Swap out chicken broth for veggie broth, don’t use meats and [...]
Long time no post! Just because I’m all temporarily vegan doesn’t mean that I don’t cook… things have just been supremely busy on my end with starting a new job, picking up some freelance writing and various other pursuits across the city.
But I’m back.
This is my second tofu [...]
