Hijiki Tofu Burgers & Carrot Ginger Dressing
October 19, 2011
My dad is in the Canadian Armed Forces, so when I was growing up, we moved... a lot! We lived throughout Canada and the United States (where I attended high school). All in all, I attended 9 schools and got to experience and see first-hand a good portion of those...

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...
Read the full post Hot & Cold Soba Noodle Salad
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 6, 2011
My mom saw this recipe in Canadian House & Home magazine a few months ago and we made it together for dinner last night. The recipe comes from chef Jennifer Houston at Fresh restaurant in Toronto. I've never had the pleasure of eating at Fresh - but after trying this...
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...

June 10, 2011
Warning: this is another post for mushroom-lovers. If you're not a fan of them, then you may want to escape to chocolate-land and forget that you ever saw this.
Ok, onto the fungi. Once again, I have gone overboard at the farmer's markets, and last week I found myself with way too many...

May 30, 2011
Since moving to Sydney, I've eaten at quite a few of the sushi restaurants here. Those that have great fish for my non-vegan friends often have a really poor vegan menu. Most of these places don't even have avocado maki (rolls) on the menu, and I sometimes have to beg...

April 18, 2011
Yesterday, I happened upon a package of puff pastry dough in my freezer and decided that it was about time that I use it. The other items in my fridge and pantry inspired me to come up with this vegan quiche, which was really yummy and which I'll definitely make...

April 5, 2011
I saw this recipe for Pistachio-Crusted Salmon a couple years ago in Canadian Living magazine and decided to try it using tofu instead. It works really well, and as fancy as it might sound, most of the ingredients are pretty basic. So other than finding some shelled pistachios, it should...
Read the full post General Tao’s Tofu
April 1, 2011
I found this recipe for General Tao's Tofu on VegWeb.com a couple years ago and have made it many times since with great success. It's a great version of the General Tao's chicken dish that is offered at many Chinese restaurants. The tofu has a nice crispy yet chewy texture....
Read the full post Super Fast & Easy Vegan Enchiladas
January 12, 2011
I've been making this recipe for years because it's so delicious - and by keeping frozen corn tortillas and store-bought enchilada sauce on hand, I can whip-up homemade vegan enchiladas in no time.
Notes
This recipe normally calls for 19oz of enchilada sauce, but I only had about half of that amount...

Vegan MoFo #27 - There are only a few days left in November, and 2010 for that matter - can you believe it?! Here is my contribution for the last Saturday of the Vegan Month of Food. I veganized and added a few ingredients to this recipe from a 1995...

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...
Read the full post Vegans: Eat at Skinny Dip Cafe!
November 21, 2010
Vegan MoFo #21 - The Skinny Dip Cafe in Bondi is my favorite local breakfast place. It's walking distance from home, has many tables outside, and offers great food & coffee. What more could you want on a Sunday morning? I love that they offer tofu scramble as an egg-alternative...

Vegan MoFo #12 - Since I was on vacation in Fiji last week, I missed the first week of Vegan MoFo. So this is my contribution for day 12, even though it's my first food post of the month. I've been craving pineapple, mango, and coconut since leaving that tropical paradise,...
Read the full post Tofu & Spinach Cannelloni (Manicotti)
October 22, 2010
This is an old recipe from Nasoya tofu that I've been making for years. It's great comfort food for me, and because the tofu-to-pasta ratio is so good, I don't feel so guilty eating the white-flour shells. I've also added a little bit of shredded carrot and nutritional yeast to...

October 10, 2010
Canadian Thanksgiving is on Monday, and even though I'm living in Sydney Australia right now, I still like to celebrate it with a nice meal. I haven't yet figured out what I'm going to make this year, but I looked through last year's photos for some inspiration. I made this Tofu...
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...

October 4, 2010
Friday night, I was looking for something to munch on while watching a movie at home. I didn't feel like a salad or something completely healthy. I had some leftover peanut dressing from the Peanut Soba Noodles I had made earlier in the week, so I decided to lightly fry...

October 2, 2010
I love making tofu scramble on the weekends. The ingredients are always a bit of a surprise, as I'll just use whatever veggies are left-over from the week. Red pepper (capsicum), mushrooms, spinach, rocket... all have been in there at some point. I also add turmeric, which really brightens the...

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...
