Chipotle Cauliflower Corn Chowder

I’ve been making a lot of soup lately even with the flip floppy weather. Specifically chowder, chipotle chowder. It all started when I dug up Vegan Yum Yum. It’s one of those cookbooks purchased long ago but never really saw any action. It just sat languishing on the bookshelf. Then one day, I made the [...]

Free Vegan Cookbooks, Free Cupcakes, Oh My!

While browsing for new books to read on a Kindle, I somehow ended up looking at cookbooks. Imagine my surprise to see some going for the princely sum of $0.00. Yeah, it’s the electronic version, but hey, it’s free. And they’re weren’t all the “I-never-heard-of-this-cookbook-before” kind either. Vegan Junk Food is one I’ve been meaning [...]

I haven’t had a chance to eat at Lyfe Kitchen in Palo Alto but they already have their own line of packaged food, available at twenty select Costco locations throughout Northern California. None of the entrees are vegan but two of the soups are – the Smoky Tomato Bisque with Spicy Herb Croutons and the [...]

Another cookbook in for a review and getting a lot of action is The Tipsy Vegan: 75 Boozy Recipes to Turn Every Bite into Happy Hour by John Schlimm. I must confess I’m not much of a drinker but cooking with booze sure sounded fun. And adventurous. So let’s belly up to the bar and [...]

Intrepid eater that I am, I had to stop by to see what’s all the buzz about the newly opened Asian Box in Palo Alto. Well, that and I happened to be near their location in the Town and Country Village on business around lunchtime. As usual, I was super hungry and I needed something [...]

Kung Pao Tacos

Trying out a package of Vegan Kung Pao Chicken from Vegetarian Plus, I went the way of the fusion food truck. Rather than just plopping it atop of rice, I made Kung Pao Tacos. One of the best things about the whole mobile fusion food thing is the flavor combination of various cuisines in an [...]

Amy’s Vegan Margherita Pizza

chow — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 04:02:26 +0000

I’ve been really good about not buying pre-made food lately, what with reviewing cookbooks and all, I’ve been preoccupied with making homemade food to be tempted by anything from a box. My mistake was wandering down the frozen food aisle only to come face-to-face with the new Amy’s Vegan Margherita Pizza with Daiya Cheeze on [...]

Not after receiving Bryant Terry’s latest cookbook, The Inspired Vegan for review. More than a mere collection of recipes, Bryant shares what influences him in his life through stories, music selection, [...]
