“The Art and Technique of Homemade Tofu” This class at the Natural Gourmet Institute for Food and Health has been up high up on my list of cooking classes that I wanted to try out. Peter Berley is the Chef and Instructor here. I have taken a class with Peter on fermentation when I learned how to make sauerkraut, kimchee […]

REPETITION IS KEY! Remember, I’m still learning how to cook.. and un-cook for that matter! Even now, as I want to make vegan meals that I have already blogged, I must go back and check.. read through and practice. Practice and repetition are important so as one day I can just cook off the fly. For example, I’m craving an […]

When I was a kid, it was all about shake and bake chicken. There is always a fad.. a shortcut.. and something processed. All the big supplier companies have to do is make it about convenience and competitive pricing… and it’s a wrap! It’s also fun! They made it fun- shake and bake was/ is fun and now this fake […]

Well.. I’m not sure if it’s a stew, a grain mix or a saute! In any case, it was delicious and full of vegetarian… I mean VEGAN lol.. protein! What’s the difference between a vegetarian and a vegan..? lol THE WHOLE ENTIRE DAIRY INDUSTRY– farce, manipulation and torture.. that’s all! Unfortunately for the fish.. I would sooner be a non-dairy […]

I think someone bought this for me but I feared eating it because it had the word pasta in it. After some recent blogs about miracle noodles, shirataki, konjac, zucchini pasta […]

I actually believe it’s healthier too- to just keep it simple. Today I wanted a wrap with some tofu when I got home from the gym. There was no need to be fancy and […]

Honestly, it was an adventure but at least this time it was a group effort! My friend Dot is an amazing cook- generous and thoughtful too, cooking for many different occasions. I really enjoy it at work that so many people have taken an interest in eating healthier. Recipes are passed hand to hand.. word to mouth.. there is room […]
Read moreI do like to flip through vegan cookbooks, mostly, as we have established already… for the pictures! This one made the cover of The New Vegan Cookbook, by Lorna Sass: TOMATO – CHICKPEA Curry in Eggplant Shells I guess this idea of stuffing vegetables can go along way- you see… this can look impressive and taste great- with no […]
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 […]
