vegan borscht
I love borscht! I love beets. I love carrots and celery. I love soup. Borscht was made for me! It is a healthy, filling soup that satisfies. The version I developed here is a kind of hybrid between a traditional borscht and a sweet-and-sour cabbage soup. I crave the tang of the vinegar and the […]

roots & dumplings
Though I always hit that point in the winter where I lament the lack of a ripe tomato and dream of summer squash and cantaloupe, I always have to remind myself that winter vegetables have their own promise.
