Just in time to start off the summer grilling season, a new cookbook to review, Grills Gone Vegan by Tamasin Noyes. Except I don’t have an outdoor grill. Not to worry, the recipes includes both an outdoor and indoor cooking method. First up is Smoked Tofu without a Smoker (page 88). Yeah, I don’t have [...]

Banana Chocodilla

When you have a snack attack, who you gonna call? Chocodilla! I don’t quite remember where I first heard of a Chocodilla. From the name, I thought it would be a giant chocolate Godzilla or something. It’s actually a fast food creation by Taco Bell consisting of chocolate in a tortilla. Available in other countries [...]

While at the Palo Alto California Avenue farmer’s market today, I picked up a tamale from The Oaxacan Kitchen booth. That was the extent of my Cinco de Mayo activity for the day. It’s not much compared to whipping up a tableful of Mexican dishes or hanging out at a party, but it sure was [...]

Mini Savory Lentil Cupcakes

With the weather bouncing back and forth between warm and cool, I’m taking advantage of the cooler days to use the oven before it really warms up around here. Not that it ever gets that hot in Northern California, I just don’t use the oven much in the summertime. Until then, I’m enjoying these mini [...]

I’ve been anticipating the arrival of the new Earth Balance Vegan Aged White Cheese Puffs at my local Whole Foods for what seems like forever. That day has finally arrived. With great relish, I opened the bag. I thought they would be fluffier, like the super bright orange cheese puffs. Those were a favorite childhood [...]

Black and Orange Tofu

chow — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 02:27:24 +0000

Have you ever tried black tofu? No, not blackened tofu. Not tofu with black bean sauce. Black tofu. Made from black soybeans. Though the color of the tofu is more of a greyish hue. It’s high in fiber and protein but relativity low in carbohydrates and may help reduce the risk of diabetes. I tried [...]

Chipotle Sofritas

chow — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 06:15:35 +0000

Last week I tried sofritas, the new shredded tofu option that Chipotle is testing out. I’m happy to report it’s really good. And no wonder, the organic, non-GMO tofu is supplied by a local Oakland-based Hodo Soy Beanery. Maybe that’s why the seven test locations are all in the Bay Area. I got a burrito [...]
