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 issue of Vegetarian Times magazine. … Read more
Vegan MoFo #25 – My favorite risotto recipe is easily my mushroom risotto. I love the creaminess of the rice, and the earthiness of the various mushrooms and truffle oil.

I love this vegan Chana Masala recipe because it satisfies my 3 basic requirements for weekday meals: It’s quick to prepare … Read more
