Oh My Darling, Clementine
I am happy to say that another all-vegan bakery has landed in Brooklyn! Clementine Bakery, deals cake… and muffins, and cookies, and lotsa sweet, delicious goodies. Located on the Clinton Hill-Bed Stuy border, Clementine joins the growing family of all-veganness that is growing in New York City: most recently–Blossom Bakery and Dun Well Doughnuts. It is about [...]
Awesome Blossom
So Cocoa V, the swanky short-lived all-vegan chocolate shop, is no longer. Since my first report in 2009 and this more recent post, the space had been cut in half to house the Blossom du Jour, Blossom‘s more casual eatery across 9th avenue. Now Cocoa V’s side of the space has morphed into Blossom Bakery, [...]
Chocolate Chip Cookies… Again
But this time with 100% cacao from Ghirardelli. They’re all adult-like with bitter bits of black, deep dark chocolate. The key is to take them out early and let them firm up on the rack to a perfect chewy texture. I’ll admit I was generous with sweetener given the chocolate was unsweetened. It’s going to [...]
L. I. V. E. on Long Island
Though Long Island has a couple of all-vegetarian Indian restaurants, it has slim pickings in every other cuisine. I know this all too well as I have to settle for basic vegetarian options in many omni eateries often in my quest for satiety. It’s a big adjustment given my home in Brooklyn offers proximity to many, [...]
Fat Tuesday, Pancake Day, Shrove Tuesday, etc.
It is time to eat pancakes!! Yes, the annual Pancake Day is upon us, when we must use up fat, butter and eggs to make way for the marked abstinence of Lent. Of course, in my case, these pancakes contain no butter or eggs… so am I in the clear? Who knows! Either way, I’m [...]
Sweets In Between Days
I’ve been out of the kitchen for some time, wrapped up in work… and in the downtime needed to continue to be wrapped up in work. But I made some cupcakes for my brother’s birthday recently. And then I ate about 6 of them. Is there anything better than chocolate ganache? I believe not. Fluffy [...]
Super. Vegan. Products.
Instead of looking at Tom Brady’s big head, I am blogging during the Super Bowl. I made killer nachos with some goodies from Vegan Essentials knowing things would be a little hectic at The Electrician‘s. First, Wayfare Mexi Cheddar cheese… this was the only flavor that was in stock but it is what I would have [...]
I’m so Spacial
Not only do K.A.A.T.N.s at Tetris, but my cat also morphs into a compact rectangular prism for easy storage.
You Don’t Bring Me Flours Anymore
After I put a few crates of mason jars on my Christmas wish list, my brother asked me if I was planning to open a medical oddities museum. Chuckle, but no. Finally, they’re up! All my flours in front of my face. For months my flours were stashed away in the freezer. The mason jars [...]
Kale♥ & Quinoa♥: Togetha Foreva
Quinoa is scrumptious on its own. But add sauteed kale… oh boy. Throw in some thinly sliced shallots, diced yellow pepper, dried cranberry, cashews and a bunch of cilantro and you tap on the majority of the surface area of the tongue, waking up even the laziest of buds. A quinoa salad is always pretty [...]
Da Brat in Brooklyn
Brooklyn Tap House in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn has “no crap on tap.” The gorgeously modern and spacious bar also has some vegan eats on their menu. Here is their Vegan Brat. Though I praise the “vegan corner” on their menu, I was hoping for a bit more creativity than store bought sausage, slaw and bread. I [...]
