d13793a1adoup 12.jpg 150x138 Garden Dill White Bean Soup, OJ, Biscuits: Get Well Food.

Here’s an easy and cheerful “Get Well Soon” Food Basket to make for an ill friend in need. It’s fresh, healthy and made with love. It includes goodies like homemade Garden Dill White Bean Soup and Maple-Glazed Sweet Potato Biscuits . And no, you don’t have to be under the weather to love these recipes. Get Well Basket. Last week, two of my friends were sick at home, so I decided to spread some love. I took the morning off, threw my to-do list to the wind and stormed into my kitchen to prepare a get well feast. The cooking part was surprisingly easy and fast. I was out the door, basket in hand, in about an hour. Martha would be proud. Find out what I made and get my vegan recipes… Love Heals All. When you are sick, nothing tastes better than light healthy food made with love. And you won’t find “love” hiding in your pantry – it’s buried right in your own two hands. In today’s world you can easily swing by Panera, Whole Foods, Le Pain or some other yummy/easy cafe to purchase a fresh bowl of soup, bread and juice – all in a matter of minutes for a good price. But trust me…

Foodies: Can Vegan Food be Considered Gourmet?

a36bb41436food 1.jpg 150x150 Foodies: Can Vegan Food be Considered Gourmet?

An intriguing brief interaction with Gael Greene on Twitter yesterday left me pondering, once again, the question: Can Vegan Food be Considered Gourmet? I am curious to see what you all think. Can tempeh, mushrooms and dairy-free risotto ever win the hearts of Gael and her utensil-wielding army of Gourmands? Gourmand -A lover of good food. Someone who is extremely (and often excessively) fond of eating and drinking. A person with discriminating taste in food and wine. source: various online definitions. You Say Gourmand, I Say Foodie. To me, gourmands, gourmets, foodies and epicures all love the same thing: Good Food . And they are all life-long students devoted to refining their palates and perfecting the art of eating. Outside their own kitchen, foodies are raptured by the art of the dining experience : the reservation, the seating, the menu, the waiter, the pouring of the wine and water, the summoning of the dessert menu – or the refusing of it – as my foodie friend Jen likes to signal by waving her hand in refusal. Foodies love to review the specials, refuse the pedestrian offerings, snicker at “Restaurant Week”, chatter like they are Tom and Padma at Judges Table, order the Chef’s tasting menu or off the menu completely, and give their waiter a thumbs up – …

Nooo, leave smoothies alone McDonald’s! McDonald’s is unveiling its new duo of real fruit smoothies at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games …. Olympian’s Shawn Johnson, Cassie Campbell, Picabo Street and Katarina Witt were on hand for the “fruit smoothie” festivities. Aka, big promo blitz to build smoothie buzz. Buzz or buzzkill? Just another fast food restaurant trying to give itself a “healthy” edge? How healthy could these smoothies be anyways? And guess what, they may not even be vegetarian… Why would healthy Olympic athletes promote McDonald’s food? Oh, right, money . Or maybe they just like healthy real fruit smoothies? Lets take a closer look… There are two new smoothies set to show up at McDonald’s nationwide by summertime. Slashfood reports: “The Golden Arches are going for the gold with McDonald’s new fruit smoothies, which the company will serve in its Olympic restaurants in Canada at the Winter Games.

Soy and Seitan Roast

All of the recipes on this blog are vegetarian (and sometimes vegan), but I try to post recipes that would appeal to eaters of all persuasions. This recipe, though, is a very vegetarian recipe, so look away meat-eaters and others who are appalled that people eat “meat substitutes.” (Eat Me Daily reamed me a few years ago on this exact same recipe. It was hilarious.) Instead of thinking of tofu or seitan as meat substitutes, it’d be much more open-minded of you to think of them as real food. Because that’s what they are. If you can’t, that’s fine. This post is more of a reference for me, because I plan on making this roast frequently. This year, I’d like to get away from buying Tofurky slices and make my own soy-seitan roasts. I managed to bake my own bread last year (except maybe three store-bought loaves), which is quite a feat considering I go through a loaf a week packing sandwiches for work every day. Now I just need to make my own sandwich innards. This really is my favorite homemade seitan, partly because it’s not really seitan. Seitan I make at home is a bit too chewy and dense (I’ve tried many…

Maru Global

Specializing in takoyaki , a popular Japansese street food of bite-sized dumpling balls fried in special molds and topped with various sauces, Maru Global should be open for business in about a week. (Feb. 1st opening got pushed back.) Even without ever tasting takoyaki, I was poised to pounce when they opened, so was pleased when Maru Global offered a focus group taste test this weekend to get feedback from the public. I signed up for the vegan seating. Takoyaki batter is traditionally made with egg, but the owners of Maru Global make a slightly costlier vegan batter upon request (this is clearly printed on the menu). Tofu is a protein choice for many dishes, and baked goods from Vegan Treats are also available. Maru Global is clearly vegan and vegetarian friendly. The vegan takoyaki pizza balls filled with vegan Mozarella and topped with tomato sauce and basil coulis taste like a grown-up version of Pizza Rolls. Soft, warm dough encases melted vegan Mozzarella, while sweet tomato sauce and vibrant basil coulis steals the show. A steaming bowl of shiitake soup studded with onions, mushrooms, and vegetables swimming in a delicious and complex broth flirting with the edge of sweetness was simple, but outstanding. Red bean rice …
