vegan greek salad
I have been making this salad since high school! It is a great summer salad to go with dinner or, if you had a protein, it can make a great entrée. I like to add baked tofu. There is nothing super remarkable about this combination of ingredients, except that the mint really makes this otherwise […]

spicy veggie chili
This is a baby batch of chili! I made a large pot to share with our friends who just gave birth and are on a meal train. We had leftovers. Then we got the call that a family member was in labor. We hopped in the car with leftovers in tow and fed the second […]

stuffed peppers
This recipe was requested by my vegan friend who was missing her mom’s beef-and-rice stuffed peppers. For this recipe I use nutty brown rice instead of white and tempeh and fresh shiitake mushrooms to bring a meaty flavor and texture. I also use veggie broth, tomato paste and a tiny bit of soy sauce to […]

corn chowder
This recipe was inspired by both an article I recently read in Cook’s Country magazine and the rainy spring weather we have been having in San Francisco. Much of the recipe has been altered, but I was intrigued by their use of puréed canned corn. The result in this recipe is a smooth, thick stew, […]

vegan jambalaya
Before I went vegetarian I was highly carnivorous. I loved meat. I actually thought I still did, until I tried to eat some in preparation for moving to China for a year. I had lost my taste for it. But, before I decided to abstain years ago, I relished in a thick burger, smoky […]
