Last year I wrote about my wonderful Rosh Hashanah menu, and gave a rough idea of how to make tzimmes, a quintessential Rosh Hashanah dish. I don’t know what this year’s Rosh Hashanah menu will hold since I am on my own with friends for the first time...

Ok this may be my new favorite recipe. And that’s saying a lot, because I love so many others. But this one is easy, totally whole-foods based, and is full of bright, fresh flavors. In the past week I have become addicted to hummus and basil for lunch –...

Ok maybe it’s silly, but a success in the kitchen can totally turn my mood around and make me feel like I can conquer the world. In this case, even following someone else’s recipe versus the incredible pride of making up my own. It’s been a...

I’m all about whole foods at this point, and making great dishes with real ingredients rather than manufactured analogues to their non-vegan equivalents. BUT – sometimes you get hit with a dose of nostalgia, and you just want to recreate those favorite...

I wasn’t sure how to start this post … so I gave up and ate the leftovers instead. And oh my god. I had packed them up in a takeaway container that’s useful as Tupperware, and eating out of that container I had a very hard time convincing myself...
