Ohhh yum. I like this salad so much I’ve had it for lunch two days in a row. On day one, it looked like this (spiral-cut zucchini & carrots thanks to my veggie spiral slicer!): On day two (today), I got creative and added some extra stuff: I liked the “extra stuff” so much that […]
Mmmm, cold rolls. I have been craving them since my picnic with Ash in the park, and needed to make a set for myself! As I was off to a dinner party, it was the perfect excuse to make cold rolls: you really do need to make them for a bunch of people! I love […]
This lentil & root veggie curry may not be the prettiest to look at (and photographed by candlelight and fluorescents doesn’t help, but give me a break, it was cottage time), but it sure is DIVINE. I made it as a vegetarian response to all the meaty/fishy things the boys were eating up at the […]
Yet another massaged kale salad! We can’t stop with the kale around here, and this kale salad with tempeh is a great new addition to the repertoire. Tempeh (fermented soybeans) is a great way to get some extra protein in, much like omnivores tend to throw grilled chicken or fish onto their salads, I do […]
Woooo! A celebration is in order! Yesterday’s Red Quinoa Salad was my 100th blog post on Kitchen Operas! It’s been such fun for me to start this blog, and here’s to many hundreds more!!! I would love to say a huge thank you to all of you who read, subscribe to, and comment on the […]
All I can say, is that Nigel Slater is a genius. I rediscover this every time I read anything he’s ever written. But, for this point, he is a true genius. In his latest tome, Tender, which I am officially proclaiming to be my Favourite Book Ever, he makes the point that “raw brussels sprouts […]
Dear Mum, It was supremely wonderful to celebrate Mother’s Day with you this weekend, both at our low-glycemic family cooking class with Meghan, who created an awesome menu for us, full of Cold Rolls with Almond Dipping Sauce: Pear, Avocado, and Arugula Salad: Curried Cauliflower & Root Veggie Soup: Cauliflower Tabouli: Almond Flax Veggie Burgers: […]
The parsnip and carrot combination has been calling to me lately (and I keep getting them in my veggie box delivery), so I thought I’d revisit my Roasted Parsnip and Carrot Soup. I wanted to see what happened to the flavours if I made a quicker soup, where I didn’t roast the root veggies. The […]
So, I’m on the hunt for a delicious, grainy veggie burger. I don’t want something that pretends to be meat, in either texture or flavour. My favourite veggie burgers have always had whole grains and lots of flavour, so I’m trying to come up with the perfect recipe. Tonight was attempt #1… quinoa veggie burgers. […]
This is my new absolute favourite way to eat carrots. I was over at my dear friend Pem’s place (yes, the Pem who inspired my Thai Red Curry Quinoa and Kale & Lentil Dal) to make Indian food for dinner this week. We decided to revisit the Kale & Lentil Dal, adding the wonderful deeper […]
