I’ve been slowly cooking my way through “Super Natural Cooking” by Heidi Swanson of the blog “101 Cookbooks,” and I have to say, I love it. During this last cold and blustery week, I have particularly loved the wonderful whole grain recipes. I made this wonderful creamy wild rice soup last week, using Thai red [...]

Sadie’s Diner and Juice Bar, Toronto
Yep, it’s another Toronto vegetarian food update. Multicultural, artsy, and very urban, Toronto not only has plenty of vegetarian-friendly restaurants and cuisines, but some great local favorites dedicated to your vegetarian and vegan whims. One of my favorites is Sadies’ Diner and Juice Bar. I stopped by with my Canada man for some weekend brunch [...]

HUGE veggie sandwiches at POPE
POPE is a veggie and vegan friendly pub with a good rotation of beers on Passyunk Ave. in South Philadelphia. Recently I spent some post-movie time at the bar sampling the latest Flying Fish Exit brew from Victory and eventually some the huge and heavy vegetarian sandwiches. A warning: Don’t go for these bad boys [...]

Roasted Butternut Squash and Carmelized Onion Tarte
A last-minute minute potluck dinner party, I’m hosting, and I find that I do not have the phyllo dough in the freezer that I thought I had. Nevermind, I decided to make a risotto instead. But the aborio box only has a cup of rice in it! A quick ingredient search on epicurious.com (squash, onions, [...]

Jelly Donut
I would just like to say that I went to the Pennsylvania Dutch festival at Reading Terminal Market, and I ate this fresh, homemade jelly donut, and it was amazing. AMAZING, like a totally different kind of donut that put all other donuts to shame. Slightly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, pumped [...]

Veggicurious jumped on the Twitter bird
That’s right folks, I’ve finally decided to get on the twitter train. I admit that I tend not to jump at the new technology, and love my peaceful moments without all the bells and buzzers and vibrates, but some things (a sudden delicious dish, a last-minute event, the most delicious cheese I’ve ever tasted, yet) [...]

Go Phillies! Vegetarian at the Ballbark
Last summer I asked you to submit your favorite vegetarian and vegan options at the PETA award-winning Citizen’s Park ballpark. I’ve been trying to track them down for myself! Last Saturday I went in search of a rumored vegan crab cake, and found it at Planet Hoagie. This HUGE hoagie comes with tartersauce or red [...]
