When I stepped into the diner the first thing I saw — and smelled — was a tray of freshly-baked vegan donuts. Right then, I knew I had found a winner.

Known for their busy weekend brunches, I made…

RECIPE -1 1/2 cups of flour -1/2 c. oats or hot multi-grain cereal (raw) -1 T.…
I love ethnic food, and especially curries. This dish literally comes together in minutes, minus the cooking time. All of the ingredients are things that you will more than likely have on hand, in your pantry and fridge. This curry is very warming, so if you don’t like things spicy, you can decrease the amount of red pepper flakes and curry powder. I enjoy making Indian food, since it’s loaded with…

The experience you receive here is more…
This is another easy meal to put together, and everything goes together on one plate. It’s really colorful and pretty to look at, so it’s also a nice dish to make for friends.

If you want to serve it as an appetizer, use big corn…
This is a variation of the traditional Peruvian Seco dish that’s contained in my cookbook, Peruvegan. I came up with this dish after pondering what type of Peruvian dish I was going to make for my gluten-free friends. This version removes the seitan (making it gluten-free), and replaces it with Portobello and Crimini mushrooms, and Japanese sweet potatoes. The dense and chewy texture of the mushrooms, along with the salty broth…
