Vegan Drinks @ Angels & Kings, July 30
I had never been to a Vegan Drinks event before although the event, held monthly at the East Village’s Angels & Kings, has graced my calendar plenty of times since they started in May of 2008. As soon as I heard this month’s social gathering of like-minded veg-friendlies would include free Sweet & Sara‘s vegan [...]

Sweet & Sara’s Cinnamon Pecan Marshmallows
In June Sweet & Sara introduced some new flavors to her already amazing line of vegan marshmallows. Along with the delicious vanilla and toasted coconut flavors {The Mexican chocolate flavor is now “out-of-print” and I never got to try it!}, she added strawberry and… cinnamon pecan. I picked up these scrumptious little cinnamon-dusted pillows today, [...]
Holy Cannoli! Vegan Cannoli!
It had to be done. Veganizing cannoli. I had a recipe from The Vegetarian Site in my task box since January. In light of my sister, a long-time cannoli queen, and my Pop’s July birthdays, I would finally give it a go. After great success in veganizing Rainbow cookies for father’s day, this would be [...]
Fire Escape Garden Update
It’s been about a month since I started my garden. Let’s see how it is going so far. Chive Alive! The chive is thriving. My two tiny little basil plants are now becoming quite beastly. Since it has been down pouring in New York City every other day, I am seeing a lot of growth [...]
Your infection, please
My online environmental health course functions as a journal article discussion group. And given the relationship between the health of the environment and our food system, I am always dropping V bombs. So as not to lose this all in the closed circuitry of Columbia’s ClassWeb, I’ll post them here too. The Morens (et. al.) [...]
I Left My ღ in Chicago
In Chicago again for the Pitchfork Music Festival I realizedI kinda, like, love Chicago.ღ But moving onward to food, something far more translatable to the written word… I took the opportunity to squeeze in some vegan eats in before, between and after musical acts. As was the case last year, the festival itself provided me [...]
Raw Soul?
When I think of raw food, I think of fresh vegetable layers, ground nuts and soaked beans; the upscale Manhattan address and accompanying price tag. Never does soul food come to mind… and yet Williamsburg, Brooklyn’s new raw restaurant, Rockin’ Raw, fuses raw and soul food with great success! The first ever “live-vegan-raw-organic-peruvian-new-orleanian-creole-cuisine-with-soul-from-williamsburg-brooklyn-to-you” restaurant to [...]
My Blueberry Nights
Blueberry banana muffins, blueberry scones a la Vegan Brunch and a Jude Law napkin: The Greatest.
Friday Fish Fry {vegan version}
In Wisconsin, the Fish Fry is a Friday staple at bars and eateries. With some old beer batter in need of some crisp, Wisconsin’s own Wok Man and I fried up our own vegan style version in my Brooklyn kitchen. We drenched tofu wedges in the week-old deactivated batter to create our filets. They were [...]
4th o’ July
In honor of America and independence, more Vegan Brunch recipes! Creamy avocado potato salad. This dish gets ugly quickly under the blazing July sun, helping others remain weirded by vegan eats. I say use the potato salad recipe in Vcon for “mixed” parties.Beer-battered tofu. A simple and delicious recipe for super-greasy ultra-fried tofu. Paired with [...]
