Simple soba with sesame tofu and bok choy

Posted February 25, 2010

This is a lovely and simple dinner that can be as flavorful or as plain as you would like. My husband and I have eaten soba noodles in Japan, and we loved the simplicity of them. In Japan, you can get them warm or cold. They are served on a small bamboo mat with a side bowl of dipping sauce. You can…

Vegan pasta alfredo with broccoli

Posted February 15, 2010

My daughters just got back home from a ski trip with their dad. I was experimenting tonight with walnut cream in corn chowder—it worked, but not nearly as well as cashew cream—and thought they'd appreciate something a bit more . . . standard. Plus, my husband also just got back into town, and he doe…

Masoor dal (Indian red lentils)

Posted February 9, 2010

I love lentils. Prepared almost any way, I love lentils: lentil soup to lentilles de Puy, I just love them. I love how quickly lentils cook, how they readily take on the flavors with which they are cooked, and how they just fall apart into creamy goodness after a bit of cooking.

I've tried making peanut sauces numerous times over the years, and I've never be…

Pumpkin Soup

Posted January 20, 2010

This was a last-minute soup tonight. I opened the cupboard for something else, saw the can of pumpkin sitting there, and decided to add soup to the dinner menu. If this had been all I was cooking, it would have been ready in under 30 minutes. But it tastes like you slaved away all day. You can whip …

Asian noodle soup

Posted January 18, 2010

After the muffin recipe yesterday, I know you're just dying for another soup recipe! I've got one for you. Something a little different this time. This one is nut-free and gluten-free. If you want it soy-free, just leave out the tamari (wheat-free soy sauce). Of course, it's dairy-free, egg-free and…
