Fabulous Figs!

I’m a big fan of Fatfree Vegan Kitchen.  I check it daily, always salivating over what Susan Jackson posts next.  Yesterday I was in the mood for something decadent yet healthy, something to both satisfy my sweet tooth and nourish my body.  Her “Skinny Fig Bar” recipe was just the ticket.  The main ingredient, figs, are naturally [...]

Phew!- Part III

Somewhat belated, but still beauteous, here is the last part of my birthday posts.  After the cake was safely unpanned and on a rack, I washed my dishes and turned to the next project on my list.  Another wish of my mom was to have the Orange Poppyseed Pancakes from “The Garden of Vegan” for [...]

Gourmet Nut Brittle

Flipping through my trusty “V Cuisine” one afternoon, I came across a recipe that had only 3 ingredients. Yes, three! Astounded by the simplicity of this recipe, I read it ever so carefully, sure that there had to be a catch, some sort of specialty equipment my kitchen would lack. Nope. Didn’t even need a [...]

“Better Than Sex” Birthday Cake

That’s all I can call it. The meringue topping is perfectly crisped on the top, but its crunchy exterior contains a divinely soft and fluffy interior. Studded with roasted almonds and melting squares of silky dark chocolate, it dissolves in your mouth almost before you can realize how sweet and yummy it is. 
As well as [...]

Phew!- Part II

It’s my mom’s birthday tomorrow, and she asked me to make her a cake that she had torn out of a Martha Stewart magazine.  So, I toodled home from school after lunch today to continue my baking streak (after a brief sojourn at the gym- training for a triathlon, y’know).  And no, I wasn’t skipping class- [...]

Phew!- Part 1

 
I cannot remember the last time I baked so much in 24 hours! Or maybe it just feels like a lot. Looking back on it, it wasn’t really that much, but it was sure fun! 
Last night I made Bran Muffins from “How It All Vegan”. I added chocolate chips on top, and some ginger in [...]

Not Quite Vegan Mac n’ Cheez

I checked out Angeline Linardis’ cookbook “V Cuisine: The Art of New Vegan Cooking” a few weeks ago, and have been waiting breathlessly for a chance to make something. This incidentally coincided with a trip to “The City” and Whole Foods, where I got my hands on some nutritional yeast. Yes folks, until yesterday I was [...]

Oat-y Waffles with Ginger Spiced Pumpkin

Some mornings, you just want food to be fun. Something decadent, yet playful and healthy at the same time. And of course, as it is morning, having it be easy to make is always a bonus.
After waking up insanely early and being utterly unable to fall back asleep, these waffles were just the ticket. Not [...]

Pico-de-Pesto

Hello, and welcome to my blog! For that matter, I’ll welcome myself to the world of blogging. Handshakes, handshakes all around.
On to business, then. But don’t despair! For my business tastes goooood. An avid vegetarian cook and baker, I’m always fiddling around in the kitchen, forever in search for the ultimate food experience.
Inspired by the [...]
