Just pimping the supervegan. If you’re in living in NYC or just headed in for a visit, http://www.supervegan.com/ is a great resource. Even better if you’re in NYC on the last Thursday of most months, there’s Vegan Drinks. http://www.vegandrinks.org/

I don’t totally know why, but every time I make my husband eggplant he swears it tastes like it’s got ground beef in it. So if that’s the kind of heartiness you’re going for, throw in some eggplant. It’s ugly rainy here in NYC-apparently it’s supposed to snow- so this fit the bill. Last nightContinue reading “Vegan MoFo day 29 – Eggplant”

Stuffed baked potatoes. Roasted vegetables-broccoli, leeks, onions, butternut squash, potato, carrots, celery-tucked into potato skins topped with roasted squash seeds and panko. Served with Field Roast celebration roast with veggie gravy and asparagus.

I have the plague, so I’m staying home from work today, playing on the interwebs.When you’re not buying local, check out the awesome stuff at Food Fight. I’ve not made the pilgrimage to Portland, but shipping is about the same environmental impact as driving to the grocery store to buy their shipped products. I justContinue reading “Vegan MoFo day 24 – Food Fight!”

Yes, it’s the book that turned me vegan. They tricked me. I had no idea what it was about. I bought it in Grand Central thinking it was some mindless chick lit and read most of it on the way home. I promptly threw out all the cheese in my refrigerator. I shouldn’t be surprisedContinue reading “Vegan MoFo day 23 – Skinny Bitch”

Does this make me a freegan?And more chickpea cutlet sushi…ok, I was trying to replicate a philadelphia roll, so I added some tofutti cream cheese. Non-traditional on so many levels, but really freakin’ good.

First up is a steamy brown rice miso in a kombu dashi with wakame. Sushi roll 1 is a pickled burdock(kind of like a carrot) and kaiware(daikon radish sprouts) roll. Sushi roll 2 is a chickpea cutlet(Veganomicon), gourd strip, and kaiware roll. And the cutest chickpea cutlet sushi. And I just wouldn’t be me ifContinue reading “Vegan MoFo day 19 Iron Chef Sushi!”

Oh, what to put on pizza…how about roasted eggplant, chickpea cutlet (Veganomicon) and some tofu mixed with basil and olive oil.

I’m going to watch Japanese cartoons instead of cooking dinner. Kittee has just announced this weeks Iron Chef ingredients. Rice and seaweed!http://kitteekake.blogspot.com/2008/10/iron-chef-challenge-iii.html

I was pleased to discover the vegetartian sushi options at Haru on Wall Street. I’ve made vegan rolls before (spicy tempeh, thanks ppk!), but I hadn’t bothered to make the rice ball and put something veggie on top of it. A thin strip of nori holds the veggie on the rice. From left to right,Continue reading “Vegan MoFo day 16 Veggie Sushi”
