Rustic Bread & Eggplant Lasagna

May 13, 2009


My husband and I have been watching The Sopranos recently (yes, I’m apparently 10 years behind the curve here), and I can only listen to the characters talk about manicotti and baked ziti so many times before I get a serious craving for some Italian food. It got me thinking to a public telev…

Perfect Cinnamon Buns

May 8, 2009


I adore that recipe.
When I went vegan a little by five years ago, I had a minor panic attack when I realized I’d never eat another Cinnabon again. I remember I used to ask my dad to bring them home from the airport for me when I was little, whenever he had a business trip. The fluffy swir…

Potato Salad Two Ways

May 8, 2009


I never was a potato salad person. I’m not certain why. I think it’s partly considering when someone else makes potato salad, you’re not precisely certain what’s in it, and it’s just that mass of white lumpy stuff. Plus, humans tend to add raw onions to potato salad…

Pan-Fried Gnocchi with Morels and Fiddleheads

May 8, 2009


Spring is here, and it brings with it two of my most favorite seasonal items: morels and fiddlehead ferns. At $28/lb here in Boston, fresh morels are definitely a splurge. But you only need to pick up a few to have them in that dish, and it’s well worth it to do so.
If you live in the rig…

Crash Hot Potatoes

April 15, 2009


I love no-recipe recipes. that isn’t my recipe, but when I saw it on The Pioneer Woman, I knew I not only had to invent it (over and over), but additionally share it with you guys.
It is EASY and it is TASTY.
Boil potatoes, smash them, cover them with olive oil, salt, and rosemary, and bake …

Candied Clementines

April 15, 2009


When Valentine’s day rolls around, there are a lot of desserts to choose from. There’s a lot of red, and a lot of hearts, and lots of strawberries. In February. I’m not opposed to buying stuff out of season, but I decided to go with something a little different for a V-day desse…

Candied Clementine Cake

April 15, 2009


For those of you that want to try out the candied clementines but possibly don’t want to eat them whole (yes, you can eat the peel!), I offer you that lovely clementine bundt cake. It’s a more traditional dessert for certain, but I think more broadly appealing than the candied clementi…

Vegetable Tempura

April 15, 2009


I really love vegetable tempura, but it often the batter contains eggs, so I have to skip it when I’m eating at a japanese restaurant. But it’s really easy to form eggless tempura at home. You can absolutely pick up a box mix of “tempura powder” at a local asian market and…

Daifuku

April 15, 2009


I first encountered daifuku at one of my favorite restaurants in Western Massachusetts, Fresh Side. In their deli case were these cute little white and green pillow-looking desserts, sitting behind a hand-written card that said: Mochi (vegan).
I ordered one and when I bit into it, it was such a su…

Spring Crêpes Three Ways

April 15, 2009


Happy Spring, lovelies!
It’s instance to break out of our winter food ruts, and I think I have just the thing. Crêpes! They’re light and can be filled with nearly anything, but to get your imagination started I’ve created three recipes for you to try.
Now, vegan crepes. They&…
