garlicy turnip, kohlrabi and purple yam topped with fried sage leaves
i’ve been listening to the splendid table a lot lately, which is an awesome weekly radio show about cooking that you can download as a free podcast. in one of the episodes the host, lynne rossetto kasper, very quickly mentions making something like this for dinner that week. she commented on how easily it was [...]
sunchokes roasted with lavender and garlic
sunchokes – also known as jerusalem artichokes – are the root vegetable of a plant similar to a sunflower. they look like and are often confused for fresh ginger root, but are more like a potato. they are probably associated with artichokes because of their earthy, subtle artichoke-like flavor and creamy, buttery texture. i love [...]
vegan thanksgiving: roasted garlic mashed potatoes with celeriac
every recipe on thanksgiving seems to have the same “fuck it” mentality, with loads of butter and salt and carbohydrates. for example, normally i make mashed potatoes like this, but this year i decided to do the complete opposite. i wanted a lighter dish thrown in the mix, for a little bit of balance on [...]
vegan thanksgiving: chunky pumpkin soup
this is a recipe i got from my boyfriend. when he first started cooking for himself, this was one of the first recipes he learned – and may i say, mastered. it’s an easy, wholesome recipe that you don’t have to be a seasoned chef to make, it doesn’t even require any blending. it is [...]

baked spinach and pasta with a creamy roasted garlic sauce
i started playing around the silken tofu a while ago. it works well as an egg replacer in baked goods or egg dishes. but it also makes a thick, creamy sauce when blended, like in my recipe for vegan sour cream. recently, i’ve been brainstorming ways to turn tofu into a creamy pasta sauce and [...]
carrot garlic soup
well it’s still raining off and on here in LA, so i’m constantly in search of foods that will make me feel warm and cozy when the sky is dreary and gray. i’ve posted a carrot soup before, but realized after the fact how complicated that recipe is. this one requires no sautéeing, just some [...]
savory brussel sprouts
i don’t understand why brussel sprouts get such a bad rap. if cooked right they can be just as delicious as any other green veggie, all you need to do is steam them a little to soften them up and then sauté away with your favorite flavors. to me, lemon is a requirement when cooking brussel [...]
garlic green beans
with all of the recipes i’ve already posted here, i have yet to include one that utilizes beets or green beans. ironic, i know. so i decided when i finally did one, i had to do it up right. if you fry green beans raw, they shrivel on the outside but are still under cooked [...]
whole roasted garlic clove focaccia bread
i love making my own bread. there really isn’t any comparison between a fresh, out of the oven, loaf and store bought varieties. but bread can be tricky to get right - either it is too dense, the crust isn’t thick enough, or it comes out lopsided. focaccia is a simple bread to make that’s [...]
