Hearty potatoes and tender-crisp green beans in a fragrant, creamy Thai curry… this simple dish is so tasty you won’t believe it takes less than half an hour from pantry to table – or that it’s vegan and gluten free. Tasty it is. Authentic it is not. I know that. Please don’t yell at me…
Vegan BBQ Pulled-Pork-Style Shredded Jackfruit
If you’re planning a football party and want to keep the menu veggie-based, this amazingly authentic pulled-pork-style barbecue jackfruit is just the thing. Vegan, gluten-free and delicious, it will satisfy even picky meat eaters. When I was done testing this recipe I debuted it at a tailgate before a Kenny Chesney concert at the Rose…
Sichuan Shirataki & Cucumber Sesame Noodle Salad
Happy 2016! I hope you had an awesome New Year. This year I surprised Brad with a trip to Catalina for their annual Gala in the Avalon Casino. If you’ve never been, the casino is a large, beautiful art deco building with a massive ballroom and movie theater that was built in 1927. It’s never…
Neto’s Perfect Michelada
Micheladas are my Green Eggs and Ham. For years I insisted they must be gross and wondered loudly and snobbily why anyone would adulterate delicious beer with Clamato. Luckily, our friend Neto came by one day with all the fixings and crafted one of these delicious drinks in our kitchen. One sip was all it…
Super Skinny Creamy Spinach Pasta Primavera
Does a giant bowl of creamy noodles packed with Spring vegetables for under 150 calories sound too good to be true? Creamy AND vegan? Noodles AND gluten-free? Brad didn’t believe me either until I used this recipe to try out Miracle Noodle’s new spinach shirataki noodles. Granted, this is a very different dish that your…
Vegan Spanish Chickpeas with Chorizo
I spent last week in London and Porto for work. It was a crazy hectic few days trying to accomplish everything that needed to be done and, while it was beautiful and wonderfully productive, I ended up averaging just 4-5 hours of sleep a night (not much by my lazy standards) and was pretty worn…
The Best Mulligatawney Soup
I’m sorry it’s been so long, guys! My new gig promises to be crazy fun but is mostly just crazy crazy right now. Let me make it up to you with this recipe for what I can confidently say is the best Mulligatawney soup since Seinfeld. Since there’s no definitive recipe or even flavor composition…
Mushroom Bourginon
Whoa! Somehow over four months have passed since we made and photographed this. I probably would have forgotten to do it if I weren’t ready to make it again and looking for the recipe. Granted, having been born and raised vegetarian I’ve never had Beef Bourginon but I can’t imagine it’s any tastier than this vegan…
Baked Eggplant Parmesan Stacks
I’d been toying around for a few weeks with the idea of veggie stacks. I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted besides eggplant… maybe ratatouille stacks with roasted zucchini, peppers, and goat cheese or mushrooms with a roasted pepper coulis or something Greek-inspired with sumac and feta (all of which will probably still come up…
Asian Cucumber Salad
This fast and fresh salad is a snap to make and a perfect side for your favorite Asian dish. Serve it with Hoisin-Glazed Salmon, Asian-Glazed Drumsticks, or the fantastic Sesame-Crusted Ahi pictured here – I’ll share the recipe later this week. Persian cucumbers add extra crispness and don’t require peeling making this salad as easy…
