This week was the first time I have ever created a dish using Pearl Couscous. I had heard of it before, but had not yet sought it out or tried to cook with it. In all honesty, until I became vegan a year and a half ago, I wasn’t really familiar with anything more scandalous […]

Happy Meatless Monday and decadent dessert day. I love spicy hot chocolate. If ecstasy and passion could have a taste…this would be it. The heat and the bitter, the slightly sweet. Then I thought, take the heat and make it cold….like life and passion and lusty things. I give to you the most sensory pleasing […]

Photo By: S. Duquet Here is the recipe for the lemon coconut cookies from Bryant Terry’s latest book The Inspired Vegan. These are also the cookies that nearly turned me into a kleptomaniac at his book signing and reception. They are positively sensational and lemony in the way that I desire lemon desserts to be.

Yesterday I read that pop musician Jason Mraz has chosen a plant-based lifestyle and now I have yet another reason to listen to his CD’s. It made me think about the number of people I’ve encountered or read about in the past year, who have begun adding more plant-based foods into their diets or […]

Last week Sandy and I taught a vegan cooking class at our local community college. The theme was Superbowl, so we showed them some fun party foods and Seitan Italian Sausage hoagies.

Sandy came up the ultimate quiche recipe for her brunch on Sunday. We did a dry run last night before the birthday bash on Sunday. Afterall, what would a brunch be if there wasn’t quiche? Quiche and brunch are synonymous like gin and tonic or shoes and socks, they just go together as soon […]
