I told you a bit about Let Thy Food when I shared my recipe for my Spinach Artichoke Flatbread Pizza. I said then that I would do a full review of the company and here it is! Let Thy Food is a company founded by Christina and Jeremy Bartel who have a passion for […]

Vegan Pepper Steak with Homemade Rice-a-Roni
So many of the recipes I develop happen because I crave my mother’s cooking. All of a sudden, as if out of nowhere, this craving hits me and it’s powerful. It engages all my senses – I’m back in the kitchen and I can see her food on the stove, smell the delicious aroma, hear […]
Soy Maple Tempeh Bowl
Last night I was thinking that I don’t make enough tempeh meals. Tempeh is one of those foods that I don’t really think I love until I’m eating it and then I think, “why don’t I make this more often?” I do have several tempeh recipes here on the blog: Sweet and Spicy Tempeh, Tempeh “Fish” […]
Vegan and Gluten-Free Tofu and Sweet Potato Curry
This dish came to be because I didn’t have a lot of vegetables on hand. It’s a mystery to me why I don’t cook more with sweet potatoes because I really do love them. My favorite way to eat them is simply baked when the skin gets crispy and crunchy and the inside is sweet […]

Jackfruit Ropa Vieja
Back in 2011, I posted a recipe for my vegan version of Ropa Vieja made with portobello mushrooms. “Ropa Vieja” means “old clothes” and comes from this story: A man’s family was coming to his home for dinner. Being very poor, the man could not buy them enough food. So he went to his closet, […]
Qrunch Green Chile Burgers with Yellow Rice and Roasted Vegetable Medley Topped with Jalapeno Pepper Mayo
Over the years I have developed about a dozen vegan burger recipes – partly because I love burgers and partly because there aren’t many prepared vegan burgers that I like enough to buy. To me, most of them don’t have a lot of flavor and the texture leaves a lot to be desired. And finding […]
Cheesy Rice with Broccoli and Vegan Gourmet Cheese
As many of you know, I didn’t cook much before I became vegan. Most of my meals were take-out or eaten out. When I did cook, my version of “homemade” involved a lot of boxes and envelopes. My vegetables were the frozen kind that came with the little packet of sauce. My mashed potatoes […]
VeganMoFo Day #8: Arroz con Tofu Guisado (Rice with Stewed Tofu)
Welcome to another day of VeganMoFo 2013, the month of vegan food. Be sure to check out some of the participating bloggers. A fun way to do that is to go to www.randomofo.com and click “next blog” in the upper right hand corner. It will randomly take you to different blogs. I have found […]
Chile-Rubbed Tofu and Onions over Spanish Rice
Rice and spice. Those two words describe my favorite foods. It doesn’t matter if it’s Indian, Spanish or Asian, any dish with rice and spice is a winner with me. I love all types of rice – well, ok, not all types. I don’t like risotto. Even though I made a yummy one […]
General Tso’s Tofu with Steamed Broccoli and 5-Spice Brown Rice
When I was a kid, I refused to eat Chinese food. My parents would go to The Green Dragon Chinese Restaurant in the Bronx and they had to bring along food for me to eat. Dad would get fried rice, Mom would get vegetable chow mein and the only thing I would eat was the […]
VeganMoFo: Rachael Ray and Casbah Tofu with Yellow Rice
The “V” Word continues its celebration of VeganMoFo, the month of vegan food, with its theme, “If TV Celebrity Chefs Went Vegan.” Today we come full circle and end where we began – with Rachael Ray. You can read all I have to say about Rachael in my first VeganMoFo post, Rachael Ray and Yum-O Stoup, […]
VeganMoFo: Gordon Ramsay and Brown Rice Risotto with Portobello Mushrooms and Soy Blue Cheese
The “V” Word continues its celebration of VeganMoFo, the month of vegan food, with this year’s theme: “If TV Celebrity Chefs Went Vegan.” Most of the celebrity chefs I will pick are ones I like, some may be ones I don’t like but have something to say about. Today’s celebrity chef fits both categories. Gordon […]
The Farmers Market Daughter, Pt 2: Spiced Rice and Indian Cole Slaw
Since I wrote the first part of my Farmers Market Daughter post, some good things have happened. I heard from Dammi who is in Sri Lanka with her mother again. It was nice to reconnect with her. She was very touched by my story about her. I also have been in contact with Save Animals […]
Extreme Vegan Makeover: Hoppin’ John Edition
“Eat poor that day, eat rich the rest of the year. Rice for riches and peas for peace.” – Southern saying on eating a dish of Hoppin’ John on New Year’s Day New Year’s is approaching along with many traditions: Dick Clark’s Rockin’ New Year’s Eve, counting down the end of the year while waiting […]
