I love cabbage slaws – all kinds of cabbage slaws – except those that involve mayonnaise. This slaw has some asian flavor, and I topped with a few wedges of very basic grilled tofu, marinated in lime, peanut oil, garlic, and just a dash of soy. I have to admit that this meal wasn’t entirely [...]

Sprouted Chickpea, Greens and Pesto Salad
One more sprouted chickpea recipe and I swear, I’m done (for awhile). They really did grow on me, though. This is a simple little salad I made with sprouted chickpeas, sliced grape tomatoes, “massaged” turnip greens, and a healthy dollop of pesto. Not only was it delicious, it lived in my bag, unrefrigerated , through [...]

Chickpeas Romanesco, Garlic-Saffron Rice, Roman Broccoli
In an effort to utilize a vat of sprouted chickpeas leftover from the “raw experiment” I made a big old La Crueset of the Chickpeas Romanesco from Veganomicon. I followed the recipe entirely, with the exception of using the sprouted peas and adding some extra crushed almonds. Served on top of the Garlic-Saffron Rice (also [...]

Mi Lah Vegetarian
A vegan place downtown, that makes asian-inspired dishes at reasonable prices? Count me in. I’d been wanting to make trip to Mi Lah since it opened a few months ago, and finally I made it in for lunch. And then I made it in again. One time with a good camera, one time without. I [...]

Tofu “Egg” Salad
I LOVE eggs. Love them. Don’t want to stop eating them. Love them enough that I’d like to get a few hens to lay fresh, organic eggs for me everyday. If you know how I can a reliable delivery of straw in the city to make this dream possible, holler. That said, sometimes you’ve just [...]

One Local Summer: Whiskey marinated tempeh, greens and sweet potatoes
I’m participating in Farm to Philly’s One Local Summer Challenge. Every week, I’ve agreed to make a meal consisting entirely of local ingredients (excluding herbs and spices). I’m hoping that this will be an exciting challenge, and also help me make better use of my abundant CSA and lovely Co-Op. I hadn’t seen my friends [...]

Asian Radish and Carrot Slaw
I can’t tell you what exactly is in this colorful slaw because my roommate, Dr. Lee, made it for us for dinner. It did make use of our abundant CSA radishes, and some basics that we always have in the pantry. I can’t give you amounts or ratios (and you should use your own to [...]

Raw Zuchinni “pasta” with raw tomato sauce and cashew cream
A cursory glance around the raw blogs suggest that zucchini pasta is one dish that everyone agrees is delicious! As is my way, I checked out a bunch of different recipes, and then just made up my own, anyway. It looks complicated, but the entire meal took me (honest) 15 minutes. Best case scenario, you [...]

Sauce Gribiche
When I discovered that there was a sauce made of eggs and olive oil and cornichon pickles (some of my favorite things) I knew I had to have it. Luckily, I had some cornichon’s hanging around (but you can get them at DiBruno’s). I ate this sauce on an amazing salad of grilled asparagus on [...]

(Raw) Marinated Turnip Greens
I’m eating raw this week with my roommates, a prospect that has had me at a bit of a loss. It’s hard for me to notcook things! Out or necessity, I’ve been combing the blog world for decent raw recipes that fit my abundant weekly CSA. This week we got so many darn turnip greens. [...]
