Nostalgic vegan eats
Barbecue jackfruit – when it’s done right, it really is keen to “vegan pulled pork.” However, more often than not, jackfruit dishes come out mushy and lacking in sustenance. It takes on flavors beautifully, but because it’s almost impossible to find fresh unripe jackfruit, most of us have to get it from a can in […]
If you were a somewhat typical American child, chances are, you loved Chinese take out – and as much as I may slander the name now – Panda Express was my shit. And you can probably guess why: Orange Chicken. Was it good quality? No. Was the service good? Definitely not. But was that orange […]
CCOOOOKKIIEESSS. Who doesn’t love cookies, right? I mean, sure, to some extent or another, we all try to avoid them – but only because we love them so much that if we eat one we’ll be tempted to eat a hundred. And we all know eating 100 cookies isn’t good for us. I’ll say it […]
I have a thing for sweet potatoes. Can you tell? How can I resist? Sweet potatoes form the perfect basis for my diet, as they’re tasty, easy to cook, cheap, and really good for the body. Like, really good! Tubers like sweet potatoes have been part of the human diet since the Paleolithic age, i.e. […]
Hoisin sauce is essential to Vietnamese dining – it has a place at every table in most Vietnamese restaurants. Why? Aside from being delicious, hoisin sauce is the needed cherry on top for many Vietnamese dishes. And did I mention it’s delicious? If you’ve never had hoisin sauce, it’s sweet, very salty, dark brown in […]
BEHOLD, THE PURPLE SWEET POTATO Purple sweet potatoes may sound fancy, but simply sweet potatoes that contain more of the antioxidant anthocyanin – the agent responsible for this tuber’s purple shine – than others. While food bloggers may appear to champion the fanciest of fare, we love our lazy meals. I’m talking ‘bout meals we always have ingredients on hand […]
If there’s one thing I’ve learned through the process of creating this recipe, it’s that perfection takes patience and persistence. We made six test batches of these muffins before we achieved a recipe we’re proud of. SIX BATCHES. Do you know how many lemons & poppy seeds dedicated their lives to the perfection of this […]
If you’re a fan of Vietnamese food, like Kim and I are, you will have noticed something by now: Vietnamese cuisine is super simple. Most dishes contain few ingredients, basic cooking techniques, and pull from one core of flavors. Yet, despite the simplicity, the food manages to be complex on the tastebuds, exciting, and full […]
Being the first type of “vegan bacon” I ever tried, tempeh bacon holds a place in my heart- a place that’s more satisfied by tempeh bacon than actual bacon. Growing up I always thought bacon was great on hamburgers, but if I were to order a plate of breakfast, sausage was my protein of […]
