Flash in the Pan: Fresh Plum Sauce* or Topping
*no relation to that unctuous, ochre tinted, replete-with-chemical-ingredients-and-refined-sugar gel you get in little packets next to your egg rolls. [Sometimes, you just want to eat something now. I’ve decided to offer a mini-post every once in a while, for a dish that comes together incredibly quickly or else is so easy to make that no recipe […]
Crazy Simple Raw Kale Salad
Ah, kale. How do I love thee? Let me enumerate the methods. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my stove can reach. And also my wok. I love thee sautéed with a hint of garlic and soy sauce. I love thee to a level of spice that would top the Richter scale, lightly […]
Sugar-free, Dairy-free, Candida-friendly “Notella” (Chocolate Hazelnut Spread)
[Just look at that icy, smooth surface. . . dig in!] The Nutty Part: Ever since I created that Walnut-Cacao Nib Butter a while back, I’ve gone all-out nutty. Seems a day cannot go by without my consuming some form of nut butter. I had already been enjoying nuts on this ACD (one of the […]

Gena’s Raw (Bean Free) Broccoli Hummus

New Age Vegan Pasta Carbonara
The past couple of weeks have been beyond hectic here at the DDD household, what with a surprise party (at my place) for my office mate; a wedding shower (no, not mine–okay, breathe normally now); two new courses to prepare for my return to teaching next week (what?? Seriously, is my vacation over already?); and some […]

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles
One night when I was sixteen, I watched Marvin Hamlisch (composer of A Chorus Line, etc.) on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. The previous guest was Adrienne Barbeau, the buxom actress who played Bea Arthur’s daughter on the sitcom Maude. I was appalled as I witnessed Hamlisch, seated on the couch beside her, stammer and fidget (eyes flitting […]
Veganzola Cheese Ball
By now you’ve no doubt heard about the hefty tome penned by seasoned cookbook author Joni Marie Newman and blogger extraordinaire Celine Steen, 500 Vegan Recipes. I mean it when I say this book is massive–at 512 pages and almost 2 pounds (900 grams), it weighs almost as much as I do (okay, I flatter myself; but […]
