Creamy Cashew Kale & Chickpeas
October 10, 2011
As much as I'd like to, I don't get the chance to visit a farmer's market each week. The truth is that I tend to do most of my shopping at regular grocery stores. In Sydney, this means Woolworth's (Woolie's for short) or Coles. While they don't stock every vegan...

So my brother and his good friend flew in from Canada yesterday and in all the excitement of showing them around the city and watching the rugby world cup games, I forgot to post my first entry for the Vegan Month of Food, or Vegan MoFo for short. MoFo say...

September 19, 2011
This recipe comes from the January 2011 issue of House&Home magazine. It's one of the recipes that my mom and I made together when I was home visiting last month. It's a great little meal and we really liked the contrast of hot and cold in our little soba noodle...

August 30, 2011
As promised in my last post, here's one of the recipes that I made while visiting with my parents. I've been making this for a couple years now, and everyone always likes it. I know that it doesn't seem like much, but with a squeeze of fresh lemon, it's a light...

August 14, 2011
My awesome little mama has been cooking up a storm for me during my stay in Ottawa and I thought it only fair that I return the favor by making her lunch earlier this week. My mom can make pretty much anything, but she had never made taco salads before....

August 10, 2011
If you've been following my last few posts, you'll know that I'm currently on vacation in Ottawa Canada. Right now, I'm staying with my parents and it's actually more of a "semi-vacation" at the moment since I'm working half-days and running around doing a bunch of different errands the rest...
Read the full post Tofu with Thai Coconut Peanut Sauce
July 19, 2011
This was inspired by a recipe for "Chicken with Thai Peanut Sauce" that I saw in the Ottawa Citizen newspaper a few years ago. Everything about the recipe was vegan except the chicken so it was very easy to veganize it by substituting tofu instead. While the sauce and tofu...

May 27, 2011
About 5 years ago, I veganized my mom's chili recipe by replacing the ground beef with Yves veggie ground round. I made it like that for years, doubling the recipe, and freezing it so that there was always a warm comforting meal available at the drop of a hat.
Then, I...

May 12, 2011
I've never eaten beet greens before, so when I brought home this bunch of beets the other day, I had to run a Google search to see if the leaves were even edible (Okay, you can stop laughing now).
Sure enough, they are edible - and their vibrant shade of green...

April 1, 2011
I came across Joel Luks' Vegan Good Eats blog a while back and bookmarked just about every recipe on there. The food that he makes is creative and beautiful, and his quirky sense of humor shows in every comment and detail.
I finally got around to making one of his recipes...

January 17, 2011
My mom used to make this recipe and it's one of my all-time favorites. If you manage to find yourself in that perfect space-time-continuum where you have access to ripe mangoes and avocados at the same time, then this is the perfect recipe. I can't tell you how great this...
Read the full post Fresh Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce
December 8, 2010
Something happened when I turned 30. My taste buds seemed to transform overnight. I don't seem to crave as much of the "bad" stuff anymore. For example, when I used to go to a Vietnamese restaurant, I would pick deep-fried spring rolls over the fresh variety 8 times out of...

Vegan MoFo #23 - Can you believe that there's only a week left for the Vegan Month of Food? It's been a lot of work, but such a pleasure to be inspired by other vegans all over the world. I must have 100 recipes bookmarked to try! Before doing that...

Vegan MoFo #20 - I spent the day on the beach so I don't have an elaborate recipe today. However, this is one of my favorite go-to recipes, and it wouldn't be right not to include it in the Vegan Month of Food initiative. My awesome mother made this salad...

November 16, 2010
Vegan MoFo #16 - It might seem weird, but in all my years as a vegan, I've never made stuffed mushrooms. There's no particular reason, as I love mushrooms and especially the earthy, hardiness of portabellos. I just never got around to it. However this week, I bought a large...

November 14, 2010
Vegan MoFo #14 – Keeping with my tropical theme this week, here’s a recipe for mango gazpacho, or should I say MMMango gazpacho! It's slightly adapted from AllRecipes.com. I leave-out the jalapeno pepper and reduce the onion and garlic because I find them to be to strong in the original recipe (and...
Read the full post Vegan Fajitas
October 8, 2010
One of my favorite types of food is Mexican food. Maybe it's the fact that beans+rice make such a great nutritional combination, or that putting guacamole on everything is perfectly acceptable. That's probably the real reason!
Fajitas are so easy because you don't really need a recipe to make them. I...

September 29, 2010
Yay! I submitted my Salt & Pepper Tofu recipe to VegWeb.com back in April and just realized that they finally posted it earlier this month. I guess there's a bit of a back-log over there, which is understandable considering the massive amount of recipes and info that they publish. I'm...
