Dinner at Candle Cafe.  Yes there were only two of us…  Wine and beer Seitan Chimichuri – Probably my favorite seitan dish anywhere Fresh Spring Rolls Green ginger bomb shot or some similar name.  Small package, but this little beauty was complex and savory.   Seitan au poive – another fantastic seitan dish.  The garlicContinue reading “2013 Mofo 11 – Candle Cafe”

New Yorkers love food trucks.  I was so excited that The Green Radish was in my hood today.   I got a no lobster roll, crabless cakes, and a banana chocolate chip cookie. The no lobster roll is chickpeas tarragon and greens on a soft roll with chucks of celery that give a nice crunchContinue reading “2013 Mofo 10 – The Green Radish food Truck”

Carrot, apple, beet, and ginger.  Fresh from NYC juice cart on the way into the office this morning. 

Have lots of garden fresh jalapeños and like hot sauce?  This one is a modified Bobby Flay recipe.   Some of the jalapeños were red already, so the sauce came out yellow rather than green.  I can’t wait to enjoy this spicy tangy hot sauce on my next burrito.   Jalapeño Hot Sauce 2 Tbs vegetable oilContinue reading “2013 Mofo 8 – Hot Sauce”

Want to meet other vegans in real life?  Go to a vegan meet-up.  If there isn’t one where you live, then attend one when traveling to another city, or better yet, start your own!  I host The Westchester NY Veggie Eat-up which came together after the organizers of two area vegetarian groups stepped down and noContinue reading “2013 Mofo 7 – Meet-up”

I’m no Queen of Sheba but I definitely enjoy my  Ethiopian food.  Tonight I took the husband out for Ethiopian in Mt. Kisco, NY at Lalibela.  He’s never had Ethiopian food before, but he dug right in with gusto.  We started with an avocado salad and moved onto a sampler of vegan dishes then enjoyed strongContinue reading “2013 Mofo 6 – Ethiopian”

Canning summer produce such as tomatoes is the old fashioned use for mason jars.  I got a little too much air in some of them, but they’re sealed.  It’s a lot of work for something you can get in the store for about a buck and a half, but I’m sure in January when IContinue reading “2013 Mofo 4 – Mason Jars”

You all know the song.  Beans beans the magical fruit, the more you eat, the more you toot! And the joke: Why did the Irishman only eat 239 beans?  Because one more would make him Too-Farty!  (argh, argh, argh – Irish brogue implied) Still reading?  If you like beans anyway because they’re a healthy sourceContinue reading “2013 Mofo 3 – Rancho Gordo”

Vegan cuisine wouldn’t be the same without a little uncooking. I finally got an Excalibur dehydrator.  I have a ridiculously small kitchen, but I got the 9 tray anyway.  I’m surprised at how often I end up using all the trays at one time.  The CSA peaches and plums from yesterday were already ripe, so toContinue reading “2013 Mofo 2 – Dehydrator”
