Remember when we had oh-so-many raspberries and made the Raspberries & Cream Ice Slice? Well, we had enough raspberries for a second dessert, and it needed chocolate. So I invented this tart. It’s deep, dark, and sinfully chocolatey. With not only a chocolate crust, but a silky chocolate ganache filling. And topped with raspberries for […]
Ok, I’ve got one more recipe from the cookbook I mentioned in my Corn & Kidney Bean Casserole post (Vicki’s Vegan Kitchen by Vicki Chelf) — and can you believe it? I found vegan and gluten-free croquettes!!! And they are delicious!!!! When I saw Vicki’s recipe I was hesitant. I thought that there was no […]
We interrupt this regularly scheduled tour of South India to bring you a recipe. It’s not Indian breakfast, but it’s supremely tasty. Also, my twitter peeps were asking for the recipe, so I had to hook you all up. More on Indian travel, food & recipes coming soon! Happy long weekend, happy Easter, happy Sunday! […]
She’s baaaaaaaaaaaaack, and she’s got a leek: My sister, Heather, and I teamed up with leek “Henry” (apparently named after her car) to create a new veggie pie. Yes, this is my second veggie pie this week, but sometimes you just need pie. [Heather says: I like pie.] Heather loves mushrooms, and puts them in […]

If you’re looking for Vegan recipes appropriate for your Thanksgiving feast (whether it be this weekend or next month), I suggest you chow down on some of my Fall favourites: […]
Let’s pretend you’re having a dinner party. And twenty minutes before the guests arrive, you realize you forgot to buy a baguette to go with the stew! What’s a good host to do but make some quick flatbreads? Of course, there’s no time to wait around for dough to rise — but that’s no problem, […]
I think one of the basics you need up your kitchen sleeves is a good tart dough. If you have a savoury one and a sweet one, you’re good to go. Well, when I was thinking about making my first dinner as part of Vegan MoFo, I knew I needed a vegan sweet tart dough, […]
One of my absolute favourite foods is Spanakopita — you know, the lovely Greek spinach pastry wrapped in phyllo dough. Now I love everything to do with spinach, but somehow the flaky pastry/spinach combo is my favourite. (And to Sarina, I promise I’m working on a vegan version for you, hopefully for October’s Vegan Month […]
