You may think that all nut butters are created equally – and that if you’ve tried one, you know how another is going to taste. I mean, if you have tried roasted almond butter, you know how it tastes. Then, you try raw almond butter, which tastes different… but another raw almond butter is going… Continue Reading

Pumpkinfest Finale: Pumpkincredible Hummus
Here it is, my last Pumpkinfest post. I’ve posted quite a few sweet pumpkin recipes, so thought I’d deliver a savory recipe to give the Pumpkin Chickpea Cauliflower Curry some company. What’s a month without hummus? Really, can I go one month without posting – or at least talking about – hummus? I have made… Continue Reading
Sugar-Free Vegan Caramel Apples
Pumpkinfest continues today with a sweet treat for Halloween (and while technically there’s no pumpkin in this recipe, it is entirely pumpkin-related!) Did you love caramel and candy apples as a kid? I sure did, though as a juvenile junk-food-junkie, I opted to eat the caramel or candy – but leave the apple behind (so… Continue Reading
Plant-Powered Kids: Protein Sources For Vegan Children
It is the ubiquitous vegan question… where do you get your protein? And, even if you’ve been vegan for years and have been comfortable (as you should) with your protein intake on a whole-foods vegan diet, once you have children the stakes are different. Now, you are making the decision for another human being that… Continue Reading

I created these out of sheer immediate snack-necessity! I was in the kitchen,… Continue Reading

I think some of you will appreciate that, because sometimes we just want ideas instead of specific ingredients and recipe… Continue Reading
Curry Chickpea (Indian) Hummus with Raisins
I am not a hummus purist. If you have ed&bv (with its full chapter on hummus), you know this. In my world, hummus is a food group. So, why not have some fun with it? Use different beans, different nut/seed butters, and different seasonings? A perfect example of taking hummus in a new direction is… Continue Reading
Almond-Roasted Cauliflower (and ‘evolving’ taste buds!)
If you’ve been using my books since way back (like early days with The Everyday Vegan and Vive le Vegan), you’ll know I haven’t always loved all my veggies. In fact, I once declared that you would not find cauliflower in my cookbooks! Times have changed and now I’m eating my words (and the cruciferous)…… Continue Reading
