Eating From Scratch: Vegan Journey
"Reinventing Indulgence" One meal at a time!
If I were in charge of making the city’s salads- for sure no vegan would leave a non-vegan restaurant unfulfilled! lol It’s so easy to make salads … that even I can do it! I have to say that I have always had that talent even before becoming vegan. I think I learned that one from my Mom! It’s […]
Read moreWhat takes 60 seconds to prepare and can increase your health intake over night? Sprouting! Last week was about fermentation and now we are on sprouting! When people try to jab at me to be funny – they bring sprouts into it – “you and your sprouts” lol! Like is that the best you can do? hehe I love sprouting […]

They have a side business in catering their vegan food to many of the NYC health food stores- it’s their retail division and you can access information […]
Read moreAfter a splurge of tiny vegan restaurants lately, I felt this was going to be another with only a few tables. It’s frustrating to wait for these places with few seatings. It took me a while to get a reservation at Dirt Candy and now I am still waiting for Kajitsu. I felt relieved when I walked in to see […]
Read moreOur business meeting rolled over into dinner time! The choice- old school Italian! Of course, my nerves started rattling- oh my.. what in the world am I going to eat in an authentic Italian style “meat” filled restaurant. Remember, I don’t eat pasta either! Not just what am I going to eat- but what may I be tempted by. It’s not easy when […]
