Information on vegan lifestyle.
Vegan fashion; the idea can sound both intriguing and slightly off-putting to the modern fashionista. More and more the world is seeing a trend of people buying ethical, eco, and vegan over cheap, fast, and convenient. However, just because something is vegan doesn’t necessarily mean it’s ethical. Now there’s a better way to discover vegan brands making both ethical and stylishly modern designs than scouring the internet and social media…
Waiter – “Hello sir, how are you?” Customer – “Hello, I’m very well, thank you.” Waiter – “Are you ready to order sir?” Customer – “Yes please. What do you recommend that is vegan friendly?” Waiter – “How about chicken?” Customer (confused) – “Excuse me please??” Waiter – “How about chicken?” Customer (still confused) – “But I don’t eat meat??” Waiter – “Ah, you’re vegetarian as well.” Customer (even more confused)…

Wednesday 26 August witnessed the 2015 Hong Kong Top 10 Vegan/Organic Restaurant Awards presented by Happycow.com. Part of Natural and Organic Products Asia 2015 at the cavernous Hong Kong Conference and Exhibition Centre, the ceremony was also supported by Meat Free Hong Kong. All the winning restaurants obviously had in common being geared to the vegan/organic food market. Also as a minimum, all are 100% vegetarian. Within that criteria though…
This dish is a cross between a pizza and a flatbread, sans the sauce. Hearty and filling, it’s a great appetizer for a party or a crowd. I brought it to a get-together recently, and it was devoured by both vegans and non-vegans. I put kale on only half of the dish, since I know some non-vegans that are afraid of kale! But even non-kale lovers will find this dish…
Did you know that cutting just one beef hamburger out of your diet can save 1,300 gallons of water? Maybe you did, but a lot of people don’t. Here in California, we’re suffering from a severe drought that will likely change our state forever. If you’re yawning and dismissing this as unimportant because you’re not from this increasingly arid state, think again. Nearly half the fruits, vegetables, and nuts grown…
Not many desserts say “homey comfort” like rice pudding. It was a staple in my house as a child. Not only popular in the United States, rice pudding (or Arroz con Leche) is commonplace in Peru. Normally loaded with eggs and milk, my vegan version uses soy creamer, soy milk and coconut milk. You can also make a decadent chocolate rice pudding with the addition of vegan chocolate chips…which tastes…
Salad Bagels… I eat them every day for breakfast and I never get tired of them. I vary the spreads and greens and toppings, so that it’s like a new thing every day, but it’s still my tried and true Salad Bagel. This isn’t a recipe per se, but more of a “how-to” on how to put one together. This is what you’ll need: Toasted Bagels: Toast your bagels to desired doneness…
A dressing truly makes the salad, and this homemade Vegan Ranch Dressing will do just that. Homemade dressing is so much fresher tasting and delicious than anything you can find in a bottle…even if it is vegan. Not only super on salad, this dressing is a great one to have on hand as a sauce for Easy Vegan Bowls, and to add a special touch to main dishes. I recently drizzled…
This gravy comes together in minutes, and is rich, creamy and delicious. It tastes great over mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes or grains. This is a great sauce to have on hand for one bowl meals, lettuce wraps, sautéed peppers and seitan, burritos, veggie burgers, no-meat meatloaves, etc. I like to steam some kale, place a homemade kidney bean burger on top, and drench it all in the gravy. When I’m…

This is my go-to doggie biscuit recipe when I don’t have all of the ingredients for Vegan Dog Cookies with Love. I usually have everything in my pantry for this recipe. You can substitute flours, or add more garbanzo bean flour and less regular flour. It’s a pretty forgiving recipe. Your dogs will love them, and you will be tempted to have one slathered with hummus, too. Woof! Go-To Doggie…
I grew up hating lima beans. My mom used to make them sometimes for dinner, and I would dread the thought of dinner. The smell of the beans cooking was unappealing to me as a kid. Fast forward to now, and I can tell you I’m a lima bean convert. I have a couple of recipes in my cookbook, Peruvegan, which utilize lima beans. Interestingly, the lima beans in Peru are…
