I can't decide if this is a dumb name or not, but I'm going with it because it's more interesting than "Mock tuna salad" or "Tunaless salad." Plus, this is kind of a weird dish...probably the weirdest one I have posted so far. So it needs a weird name. Anyway... There's this amazing soup in the ...

Yam curry with pineapple
Pass the douchi! No, not the dutchie. The douchi! Because they are what makes this dish. Douchi are fermented and salted black soybeans. If you have ever had an Asian dish with black bean sauce, it likely included douchi. The flavor of douchi reminds me somewhat of black garlic...deeply savory ...
Fruity green juice
Have you ever bought a whole head of cabbage even though you only needed half? Or picked up a bunch of oranges to take to a soccer game that gets rained out? Or asked your husband to pick up a two-pound bag of carrots on the way home, but he grabs the five-pound bag instead? These things happen. ...
Mushroom lettuce cups
I might not be as evolved as the rest of you, because I still like to eat with my hands. Or maybe that's just a way of getting in touch with the sensuousness of a meal. I don't know. But I do know that my favorite foods need no utensils—just a lot of napkins. These mushroom cups definitely fit ...
Chococo banana nice cream
Maybe you've never heard of nice cream. Until immersing my vegan-curious self in the Instagram feeds of vegans, I hadn't either. But that's all changed for the better. I used to be a person who would say, "Yeah, the vegetarian thing, I get. But: CHEESE!" As if I was actually incapable of living ...
Golden milk
From reducing inflammation to fighting cancer and depression, the benefits of turmeric are many—and still being discovered. Turmeric is a golden yellow root common in curries; it’s what gives traditional Indian curry the bright yellow color. You can buy it powdered or fresh—look for it in the ...
Berkeley Potato Salad
This is not the most illustrative name for this unusual variation of potato salad. I thought about calling it something weird, but then decided I that—in order not to scare you away—I would just name it after it's birthplace, which was Berkeley, CA. The inspiration for this salad happened years ...
Sundried Tomato Pasta
There are so many reasons to love this dish: it’s quick, flavorful, and hearty. It doesn’t require many dishes, makes a beautiful presentation and it’s so easy! Plus this is an ideal dish to make when you’re having company because it hardly requires any time in the kitchen. I like to serve it with a ...
Superfood granola
The first time I tried to make my own granola I burned the hell out of it, which hurts a little when it's loaded with gorgeous (and not inexpensive) superfoods. Fortunately, it was immediately evident what I needed to do differently: add the fruit last. Apparently, dried fruit is a bit more ...
Veggie Chickpea Curry
Peanut butter and ketchup. Gasoline and Tesla. Summertime and the flu. Some things just don't go together. Unfortunately, the summer flu seems to be making it's rounds lately. This curry is my answer to that! It's loaded with garlic, turmeric, and ginger—which are all excellent immune supporting, ...
