Spicy Soya Bulgogi
Most days I know what I’m going to eat because I am a planner. I plan out the menu each week, create a corresponding grocery list complete with a few snack options for those nights I feel like munching. So yeah, I plan things. But this week as I sat in the living room waiting…

My noodle addiction strikes again! One night while zoning out and binge watching YouTube videos I came across a recipe for Dan Dan noodles and immediately thought to myself, I have to have it. Soon! Which meant the next time I hit the market, I grabbed everything I would need for this spicy Chinese Sichuan dish,…

Black Beans: Vegan Two Ways
If you’re anything like me, you always have a bag or two (okay, maybe three) of dry beans in your pantry. Dry beans are, in my opinion, a vegan staple and people of all diets should always have them on hand. My husband on the other hand, gets a little antsy about things being the…

Spiced Chickpea & Tofu Steak Bowl
If you haven’t learned by now that I am addicted to flavors of the Asian continent, then you haven’t been paying attention. There are so many different flavor profiles, cuisines, spices and dishes to try that I worry I won’t get through them all before I die. That’s how much I love them. So when I’m…

Vegan Recipes That Didn’t Make The Cut
One of the things I’ve learned while blogging about my cooking adventures as a vegan, is that not all recipes are created equal. Duh, right? That’s what I thought too. But it turns out that for a home cook who specializes in taste, not sight, it’s not that simple. So I thought today it’d be…

Spicy Braised Tofu & Rice
One of my favorite things about Asian cuisine and vegan cuisine is just how easy it is to make a dish that is both quick and easy, plus packed with flavor. As much as I love to cook, I have a fairly busy life as a ghostwriter, author, blogger and foodie, not to mention wife, friend and…

Vegan Kimchi: First Attempt
As you’ve probably learned by now, I am a HUGE fan of Asian cuisine. I love it all–Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Szechuan–and I’m not afraid to change it up, experiment or vegan-ize. One of the dishes I’ve been a little terrified of trying was kimchi, for obvious reasons. The idea of fermenting and all that…

Quick & Easy Vegan Mujaddara
When friends and family tell me how “easy” it’s been for me to go vegan because I love to cook, sometimes I just have to roll my eyes at the naivete of that statement. Yes, I do enjoy cooking and learning about new types of cuisines. Mostly it’s because I’m curious but it’s also because…

Korean Fried Tofu & Creamy Ginger Slaw
Sometimes, and by sometimes I mean all of the time, a girl just has to have take out. Unless of course she is visiting several small towns in an eastern European country–and she’s vegan–then she just has to get in the kitchen and make it herself. Or himself. This recipe, was all me, inspired by a…
