I’ve had a recipe for macadamia nut cheese bookmarked for about a year, but never got around to making it. I was going to make it tonight, but when I pulled it up – I realized that it instructs you to leave the nuts in a warm, dark spot for more than 24 hours. Hmmm. [...]
I find that the difference between a good meal and a heavenly meal is frequently the toppings. The few extra minutes required to make a special home-made sauce, or to chop up a few nuts or fresh herbs, will enable both your guests and your tastebuds to reap the rewards.
Tonight, I had one of those [...]
I based this on a recipe from Ethnic Vegan, but didn’t want to boil all the nutrients out of the dates. So instead of adding a bunch of unnecessary sugar, I took a lesson from my raw diet friends and pulsed them in the food processor with some agave nectar. These were delicious treats – similar [...]

November and December are great months for vegans. Not only was World Vegan Day November 1, but we get to display our vegan prowess by making all sorts of holiday comfort food feasts that don’t have a lick of meat, dairy or eggs in them. I’m happy to report that my Chocolate Mousse Pie got just [...]
This recipe was inspired by a great dish on VegFamily called Amazing Chocolate Mousse Pie. To be perfectly honest, I didn’t bother changing anything in the filling because it was perfect just the way it was. The crust, however, was problematic for me. I still find it difficult to add dextrose directly to a recipe while trying [...]

Tomorrow is my sister’s birthday. I volunteered to make the cake – selfishly – so that I could eat it. I had been thinking about red velvet cake since watching an episode of Throw Down with Bobby Flay last week and decided to try my hand at a vegan version. While this one was tasty, I’d [...]
I always shied away from truffles, but my initial attempts were simple and have proven quite tasty. The real effort here is in rolling the balls. Thanks Kristi for helping with that – and yes – everyone loved your balls. The rest is fairly straightforward. Make these the night before and store them [...]
It took three experiments with this recipe before it resembled something I was willing to call my own. Truthfully, this can’t be called a healthy recipe. However, if you have a need for sweets – this recipe is a good option if you want or need to stay away from dairy cream or eggs.
Raw macadamias can be hard [...]
Every time you harvest your garden or your fruit trees, you end up with some fruit that just isn’t fresh or perfectly ripe enough to be highlighted in a raw dish. Those gently over-ripened fruit are perfect for stewed plums or jams. I have a plum jam on the stove right now and completely forgot [...]
Here’s a raw recipe that Marina shared with me. Imagine trying to live a raw lifestyle in Switzerland -the land of milk chocolate and cheese. I can’t wait to visit her and hear more about her experiments.
Here’s one she shared with me for frosted brownies.
I made these a few times but each time I had [...]
