Ode to Nutritional Yeast
Okay, so to the uninitiated, nutritional yeast sounds and probably looks disgusting. If you haven’t seen it, it is yellowish, almost American cheese color, and is powdering and flaky. I will not make any analogies to the flakiness because, again, I can’t think of something that sounds appetizing or appealing. However, as a card-carrying vegan, […]
Chocolate Mint Cupcakes
Okay, so I have made this recipe a few times in the past couple weeks for various reasons. One, I made this as a cake for my son, Dylan’s, birthday. It is his favorite cake and he likes it with raspberries and fresh mint leaves. I also made this for a fundraiser I did for […]
Strawberry Frosting

Braised Celery Root with Chickpeas and Saffron
By Bonnie and Ian St. Germaine Living in New England and trying to use local ingredients, one ends up with a lot of root vegetables during the winter (we get ours in the Dogma box from Boston Organics). One recurrence in our house has been Celery, or Celeriac, root. But, what to do with these […]

Vegan Frittata
Vegan Frittata Last spring we had a wine tasting and paired it with all vegan food. We had chocolate mint cupcakes, hummus, dolmas with lentil quinoa stuffing, macadamia nut cheese with tarragon, and a vegan frittata. Many people asked me for the frittata recipe, and it’s easy as pie! (Or should I say tart?) Anyway, […]

It makes sense for sure, but I think in the middle of winter, even a smoothie should be like comfort […]
