To counter the more traditional granola recipe I just published, here is an edgier, more experimental version. For this recipe, I was inspired by a trip to one of the world’s most amazing grocery stores, Rainbow Grocery. I am thankful every time I shop there that I get the pleasure of spending money at this […]

veggie “pork” fried rice
I have developed a theory that all the world’s most popular foods successfully blend ingredients from multiple major food and flavor groups. If you think about pizza and burritos as examples, they both meet this standard. Both incorporate vegetables, a protein, grains, and some source of fat. Both have strong flavors: pizza has more of […]

I have experimented with granola lately and my coworkers have been my guinea pigs. I really tried to push the boundaries with this granola, and I hit the mark for one colleague and missed for another. I was happy that it was bold enough to inspire strong reactions, so it felt like a successful experiment! […]

Persimmons were long a mystery to me. Not a food that we ate in my house growing up, persimmons never seemed quite right. When I started experimenting with new foods as a young adult, persimmons often left me feeling like I had stuffed my mouth full of cotton. Not a sensation I much enjoyed. Then […]

grown-up applesauce
Bourbon is a great ingredient for autumn — it pairs well with seasonal ingredients like pumpkins and apples. It is great to sip on cool evenings; its warm caramel notes are a perfect counter to the first crispness of fall. This version of applesauce is more like a rich dessert than a breakfast side or […]

vegan bourbon pumpkin milkshake
As the leaves fall from the trees, I start to think about apple cider and pumpkin pie. But, I wasn’t quite ready to give up summer. So, I developed this recipe for pumpkin milkshakes. The bourbon adds a grown-up complexity and the dates give the milkshake body. Vegan Bourbon Pumpkin Milkshake Ingredients: 1/2 15 ounce […]

As the days of summer whiz by, I realized I needed to take more advantage of the beautiful Northern California produce, especially stone fruit. I really like the combination of peach and ginger, so I developed this pie recipe. I chose a cream cheese crust to provide more structure for the bits of crystallized ginger […]

bourbon maple bbq sauce
I’m vegetarian. BBQ sauce might seem irrelevant to me. It’s like the time my grandpa snatched the bottle of A-1 off the table (I was putting it on a baked potato). When I reassured him that it was okay, it was vegetarian, his reply was this: “I don’t care! It’s steak sauce! It’s just not […]

white peach & ginger ice cream
I love using ginger to add complexity to flavors. For this recipe I used two forms: crystallized and preserves. I found a jar of preserves at my favorite natural foods store — it was the simplest garnish ever! If you are using the Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker, do make sure to fully freeze the cannister […]

This weekend I was fortunate enough to be invited to present at the first annual International Ice Cream Conference. Don’t get too excited, though. It was really an awesome party hosted by my friend Andreas. There were representatives from at least three countries. There were some outstanding flavor entries: Summer Picnic (three flavors; […]
