Mediterranean Bean Burgers (vegan, gluten-free, oil-free)

I have been wanting to share this recipe with you for SO long. It’s one of my very favorite burger recipes in Let Them Eat Vegan (as many of you know, there is a full burger chapter) – in fact, it’s one of my very favorite veggie burgers of all time! Only two of the… Continue Reading

Mexican Bean Soup with Chipotle Avocado Cream and Guacamole Tip (vegan and gluten-free)

When you open a cookbook, a recipe may “jump out” because of its title, its reputation (we know how blogging can hype a recipe long before a cookbook reaches bookshelves), or of course because of its photos.  With the volume of recipes in LTEV, I almost wish I had written two separate cookbooks so that… Continue Reading

Now Available!: Plant-Powered 15 ebook (vegan, oil-free, gluten-free)

So, the last few months you may have been wondering what I’ve been up to. I’ve been posting plenty of recipes, but haven’t been talking much about personal things or our family. Truth is, I have been swamped since September with both work and mama responsibilities, and it’s been challenging to keep up. (My next… Continue Reading

(Update: Those with a sweet tooth, scroll on down to bottom of post for news of a NEW dessert e-cookbook!) Naming recipes is not something that always comes naturally to me.  I often describe components in the dish, or try to convey how the dish makes me feel.  A few (just a few!) of the… Continue Reading

Fresh Broccoli and Vegetable Teriyaki Stir-Fry with Cashews (vegan and gluten-free)

As a culture, we are always excited and fascinated by what’s new.  As a vegan chef, I love to push out of my cooking comfort zones to try new techniques, new ingredients, and of course to create new recipes for all of YOU!  And yet, we have thousands of cookbooks available to use (vegan or… Continue Reading

Fragrant Kidney Bean and Lentil Dal (vegan and gluten-free)

I posted this photo of my Fragrant Kidney Bean and Lentil Dal from LTEV on facebook recently.  There was such interest and rave reviews about the dish that I decided to deliver a super-quick post today with the recipe. Please excuse the lack of ‘chatting’ today… I am so busy with Christmas preparations and some… Continue Reading

Vegan Thanksgiving and Christmas Menu with Recipes

Today I’m going to share with you a SLEW of recipes that are ideal for your Thanksgiving menu – but also for Christmas.  You see, in Canada, while Thanksgiving is celebrated, it is nowhere near as large and festive as it is in the US.  So, I have always viewed American Thanksgiving dinner to be… Continue Reading
