A collection of no-cook vegan recipes – a collection of vegan recipes that require no baking and no stove or microwave cooking.
I came across Joel Luks’ Vegan Good Eats blog a while back and bookmarked just about every recipe on there. The food that he makes is creative and beautiful, and his quirky sense of humor shows in every comment and detail. I finally got around to making one of his recipes the other day. It … Read more
I came across this Avocado Macadamia Pear Salad recipe in the Jan/Feb 2011 issue of Sheila magazine. It looked so decadent, I just had to try it. The trick is to have “ripe but firm” avocados on hand when the pears are just ripe. But once you’ve got that under control, the actual salad itself … Read more
Pretty epic title, huh? Well, it’s totally true. The other day, while watching a boring movie (can’t even remember the title, it was THAT bad), I was Googling vegan raw recipes on my iPhone. I was in the mood for something sweet, yet healthy, and I eventually settled on some raw vegan brownies. They turned … Read more
I bookmarked Allyson from Manifest Vegan’s Ghastly Tortilla Chips & Ghoul-camole back in October. Although I’ve made regular guacamole many times since then, it only just occurred to me today to try her version, which includes “broccoli confetti”. All I can say is WOW! I’m actually a bit mad at myself for not trying it … Read more
2011 has been pretty crazy for me. From hosting a good friend from back home over the holidays, to moving into a new pad downtown, to traveling back to Canada for a work conference and my mother’s surprise 60th birthday, and finally meeting-up with my partner for 5 days of sight-seeing and wine tasting in … Read more
My mom used to make this recipe and it’s one of my all-time favorites. If you manage to find yourself in that perfect space-time-continuum where you have access to ripe mangoes and avocados at the same time, then this is the perfect recipe. I can’t tell you how great this is – you just have … Read more
I just couldn’t resist bringing home these gorgeous grape tomatoes and figured that the best way to enjoy them would be as a light and fresh tomato & basil salad. Fresh basil and a high-quality olive oil are the key to making this easy salad taste very gourmet. So I don’t have a big post … Read more
I spent the day on the beach so I don’t have an elaborate recipe today. However, this Broccoli, Red Bell Pepper & Chickpea Salad 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 mom made this salad often when I … Read more
Vegan MoFo #14 – Keeping with my tropical theme this week, here’s a recipe for mango gazpacho, or should I say MMMango gazpacho! It’s slightly adapted from AllRecipes.com. I leave-out the jalapeno pepper and reduce the onion and garlic because I find them to be to strong in the original recipe (and I love garlic and onion)! … Read more
I love the smell of fresh basil, and the best thing to make when you have a lot of fresh basil is… fresh pesto! It’s great on pasta and flat bread pizza, as well as stirred into lightly stir-fried veggies. It’s also awesome in minestrone soup, which I’ll share in my next post. For now, … Read more
