Years ago, when I taught a course called “Feeding Body and Soul,” students were asked to contribute a recipe that had been handed down in their family as a way to illustrate the power of food through the generations. One young woman (who, in her words, had been “raised by hippies”) gave me a […]

Tofu Omelet with Sauteed Apples and Sweet Curry Sauce
Love never ceases to amaze me. In the halcyon days of our relationship, when my HH and I were still in early stages of romantic life, I was sideswiped with a doozy of a diagnosis that caused me to change my diet drastically for what turned out to be quite a long time. […]
Tofu Quiche for Thirty
The weather continues to annoy me, what with all the grey and gloom and snow and slush. Too much shadow (and so I take umbrage at the weather. Bah.)

Tea Biscuits at the Ready

These are tea biscuits I created while experimenting with vegan and sugar-free biscuits and scones. These are light and surprisingly tasty, considering that they have no butter, eggs, or refined sugar. They’re made with spelt […]
