Quinoa Falafel with Avocado Tahini Dressing
April 7, 2013
I've loved falafel ever since my aunt Annie introduced me to it as a kid. She took me to a Middle Eastern restaurant outside Montreal and ordered me a plate of vegetarian goodness, including tabouli, hummus, and falafel. At the time, I wasn't even sure exactly what I was eating,...

I totally missed-out on my Thursday and Friday Vegan MoFo posts, so rather than get back into recounting my 3-month NZ and Southeast-Asia travel adventures, I thought I'd share a new recipe with you.
As mentioned previously, I now live really close to one of Toronto's great Fresh Restaurants and find...

While the summer doesn't officially start here until December 1st, the weather has been absolutely amazing lately. Some of our friends have organized a BBQ in the park, and while they're providing the salads, I thought that I'd bring a couple things as well. I'll probably make some Quinoa Salad...

October 30, 2011
I was in the mood for some comfort food on Friday night but I was looking for something more exotic than plain old pasta. Problem was, my fridge and pantry was pretty sparse:
1/2 bag of fresh baby spinach
a couple blocks of tofu
potatoes
onions
a few cans of diced tomatoes
a few cans of...

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...

I'm not really good about blogging about my restaurant dinning experiences. I really only get around to it when it's either a really good or really bad experience. I tend to find that most restaurant food is rather basic and/or isn't good value for money. Too many chefs rely upon...

August 31, 2011
This is another one of the recipes that my mom made for me while I was visiting in August. The chickpeas and pine nuts offer a great crunch and nutty flavor, while the vinaigrette has a lovely fresh lemony taste that to me, tastes just like summer. Having said that,...

I know, I know... not another hummus recipe! A few of my friends here have asked for my humus recipe, and since I'm heading out of town for a month, I wanted to ensure that they had it before I left. I also wanted to share an awesome little trick...

Back in December, I enjoyed a lovely salad of fried cauliflower, chickpeas and silverbeet at Bodega Tapas Bar here in Sydney. It was hardy yet light with highlights of fresh lemon and toasted cumin seeds. As you can tell, I was making a mental note of the ingredients and flavors...

Vegan MoFo #29 - I missed a post yesterday, which is disappointing because I was so proud of the fact that once I got settled from my vacation in Fiji, I posed everyday something everyday in November. I was really determined to make-up for the first 11 days of the Vegan...

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...

I make this all the time because it's so easy to make and I always have these basic ingredients in the pantry. It's not super authentic, but it's quick, easy, and tastes great.
My only complaint about a lot of Indian food is that it often lacks green veggies, which add so...
