C'est La Vegan

After many weeks of keeping this secret, I’m so excited to finally be able to announce a new project I’m working on with lovely Alix, of Cute & Delicious.  We’ve started a vegan secret supper club here in L.A. called A Moveable Feast, and our next dinner will be on July 9th in Studio City. [...]

Ryan and I were invited to a birthday potluck over the weekend, and since I had to work on Saturday, I wanted to make something that wouldn’t be too complicated, but that would still be really tasty.  I’ve been wanting to try this recipe for a while, and it turned out to be the perfect [...]

My friend Betty Cahill writes the blog “Delishy Town”, and while it’s not entirely vegan, it’s very vegan friendly.  A while back Betty made some amazing looking stuffed artichokes, and I made a mental note that I’d have to try a version of them.  I used her recipe as a guide but wasn’t in the [...]

A friend of mine recently told me about Trader Joe’s Mango Butter.  (She also told me about the dried green mango they carry, which I’m totally addicted to.  I think she’s trying to make me fat.)  A couple days after seeing her, they were sampling the mango butter in the store with strawberries.  And, just [...]

Tomato Bruschetta is one of my favorite things to make (and eat), and I realized that despite the fact that I make this multiple times every summer, I’d never actually done a post on it. You’ll want to save this for when tomatoes are in season, and you can use whatever kinds you like best. [...]

  UPDATE: Thanks so much to everyone who entered the give-away.  The winner is Amy, who said: yum! i haven’t had white chocolate macadamia nut cookies since i’ve been vegan, but they used to be one of my favorites! for vegan cookies i have tried, simple chocolate chip with a hint of salt is my [...]

  In addition to the Vegan Pan-bagnat I posted about the other day, I also made these Blueberry Spice Crumb Bars for our meal at the Hollywood Bowl.  The recipe is from Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar. It’s been many years since I’ve had blueberry bars, so I was really excited to make these.  [...]

Before I was vegan, one of my favorite sandwiches was the Pan-bagnat at Vie de France.  I don’t think they offer it anymore, but it was basically tuna, green beans, and salad greens all drenched in an amazing garlic dressing.  The best part was the french bread it was served on – it was like [...]

So this time I have a good excuse for not posting in a while – I was on vacation!  Blissful, fantastic, relaxing, enlightening vacation.  Ryan’s been hard at work editing the film “Bidder 70″ with filmmakers Beth and George Gage, and a work-in-progress-screening debuted at the Telluride Mountainfilm Festival last week.  After all the long [...]
