Matzo Ball Soup
For someone raised Gentile, I have always had an inexplicable love of matzo. It probably has something to do with never having been forced to eat the stuff for days on end, but whatever: I’m into it. You know what else I’m into? This matzo ball soup.
Vegan Reuben with Corned Beef Seitan
Just in time for Saint Patrick’s Day, this recipe for corned beef seitan should please even the biggest weirdo corned beef purist. What you do with this knowledge is up to you, but I highly suggest getting a bunch of friends together and celebrating with a tray of vegan reubens.
Make Your Own Vegetable Stock
Until fairly recently, I didn’t believe in vegetable stock. I’d tried a friend’s ultra-pungent homemade broth years ago, and let’s just say the experience didn’t exactly inspire me to pursue it in my own kitchen. Plus, I’m cheap, and I was never sold on the idea of buying a box of what is essentially flavored...
Simple Lentil Soup
Maybe lentil soup is a mainstay of vegetarian cooking in part because it’s so easy, so healthy, and so delicious all at once. It’s delightfully mellow, which makes it a good dish to serve kids and picky adults, and when you’re sick, it just sounds like the most lovely, comforting thing ever.
Curried Coconut Lentils
I don’t know how the weather is where you live, but here in New Haven, it’s getting cold. Not that I’m complaining! Last night I got in perfect cold-weather form and whipped up a pot of curried coconut lentils.
Garlic Broccoli Stirfry
Is there anything Joy of Cooking can’t do? Obviously the answer to this question is a firm yes. Take, for example, the fact that my version of this book, published a mere 6 years ago, contains only two recipes calling for tofu as an ingredient.
Rancho Beans
It’s only autumn, and already I’ve caught the casserole bug. A few years ago, my grandmother gave me a copy of her church’s spiral-bound cookbook, a compilation of all the favorite recipes of the nearby farmers and homemakers. These books are incredible — I have been known to sit and read them aloud for sheer...
Vegan Sloppy Joes
How have I never shared my recipe for vegan sloppy joes? My family hails from right down the road from the birthplace of these messy sandwiches, Sioux City, Iowa, so this is a food I grew up eating in massive quantities. Although sloppy joes are pretty ubiquitous and everyone does them a little differently, this...
Vegan Fried Chicken
Y’all, put down your mice and step away from the monitor. You have to go make this recipe for vegan fried chicken. Right now.
Vegan Crab Cakes
Summer isn’t over, right? Okay, good. So when you’re done listening to summer jams and hanging out at the beach, round up the last of this season’s zucchini and make these vegan crab cakes. They are awesome.
Vegan Caesar Salad
This vegan Caesar salad is kind to sea creatures and only takes a few minutes to whip together.
Tahini Caramelized Onion Sauce
Any good cook knows that food doesn’t have to be complicated to taste great. This tahini caramelized onion sauce is really simple and one of my favorite on-the-fly recipes ever. Honestly, if I could somehow always have enough onions on hand to sustain a steady supply, I would be perfectly content eating beans and rice...
