This falls into my MoFo theme as an immediate result of yesterday’s post and the failed intention to make some for dinner last night. I did my part, supported my own economy, and did that leftovers thing. New Farm Style Comforty Gluten Free Mac & Cheeze I’ve been posting variations on the classic, but very, [...]

The Intrigue of the Pizza: balsamic beets, sweet corn & cauliflower basil ricotta
Cauliflower Basil Ricotta. Basically, I substituted semi-boiled cauliflower and a small handful of cashews for the primary component of the tofu ricotta recipe in Veganomicon. I added more basil, nutritional yeast and a bit of miso to overpower the ‘flower. The pizza had both creative toppings and very particular slicing. The dough was spread with [...]
double dippin’: the party
Roughly 1/10th of total dips that arrived at Double Dippin’ Fueling my dorky, themed party planning obsession, I hosted a dip-themed potluck and party last weekend. Double Dippin’: The Party* featured 4 tables of dips: Sweet, Savoury, Miscellaneous, No Holds Barred, and Michele performing the grand & appetizing Vegan Mozzarella Stick-Off in the kitchen. The record was successfully broken for just how [...]
Tales from the Nut: Cashew Mushroom Alfredo
Vegan Cashew Alfredo, topped with sautéed Maitake and Porcini Mushrooms If you’re vegan and enjoy cooking, I’m sure soaking nuts for cream sauces and vegan cheeses has already entered your culinary repertoire. If not, get on it. I’ve enjoyed my share of tofu-based cream sauces, but the silkiness of soaked nuts usually overrules thick soy. If you’re [...]

Adventures with Daiya: Tofurkey Pizza
The new Tofurkey Pepperoni Pizza, Sampled at Food Fight! My past exerperiences with Daiya have ranged from a tasty, gooey grilled cheese with tomato at Savor Soup House, to uncooked samples at VegFest, to so so home experiments, to the oozing pizza I thought was going to coat my mouth forever and lead to the [...]
Photo Essay: The Best & The Rest of NYC (of my winter vacation)
Vegan Ice Cream at Stogo Starting with the Ten Best NYC Vegan Experiences of my winter vacation, in no particular order: The entire Vegetarian Dim Sum House Experience Carrot Tahini spread and Terra Sana Syrah at Candle Café – nothing else I sampled there interested me. It was underwhelming the more ‘upscale’ dining attempt (on a [...]
new teese on pizza
The vegan cheese wars are fascinating, ridiculous, and full of hyped out opinions. Every now and then, something special comes along, making its way amongst all the passable, or please-pass non-dairy alternatives. Follow Your Heart, Daiya, Teese, and Cheezly are all brands that have gained notoriety in the vegan community in recent years. If you’re already rolling [...]
The Teese Challenge: Broccoli Raab, Garlic & Teese Rolls
The long-awaited (in my head) goal of recreating the classic broccoli & mozzarella pinwheels of the local pizzerias of my childhood finally came to vegan, teese-covered fruition! This is definitely the first test batch, but overall, I’m pleased with how they came out. The one BIG difference I’d change for the next round is to [...]
The Teese Challenge: Dang Quesadilla with Nacho Sauce
Oh, it’s way past hip to quote from Napoleon Dynamite? It’s not even far gone enough to be hip again? Well, let’s continue enjoying vegan quesadillas, forget that reference, and commence talking about how much we love Tina Marjorino as Mac. This is my first entry into the grand Teese Challenge. It had to be a soft, simple [...]
