Vegan Victuals: The Blog |
Thanks.
I’d like to cook a proper Thanksgiving feast, but it’s not that simple unfortunately. It’d have to be a reheated prepared meal. And thankfully, that ain’t bad at all. With a Whole Foods near, it’s convenient enough. I ordered their Vegan Field Roast with an extra side of Brussels and popped it in the oven before [...]
Refreshing Fruity Slushee
I like to add some sweet to a party, but it’s too hot to bake! And who really wants a piece of cake at a bar-be-que? I wanted something that could be made in advance, was nice and simple and… *cold*. A homemade slushy was just the thing. After scouring the internets for some tips, [...]
Week’s End
Curdling almond milk. Cooling vanilla cupcakes. Cara cara, exposed. The princess, her sneer–real and plush–and the momma. Patty Day cupcakes Aerial on the cat table.
January Pantry Turnover
I miss my good camera, my SLR. While my baby is getting a preventative maintenance and cleaning, here we are. This ol’ point & shoot 6 mega-pixel is hardly the powerhouse it was years ago. And so in the midst of January Pantry Turnover, an annual purge of dry goods and ingredients taking up too [...]
What’s New: Food Update
There is a little Indian convenience store next to my Sunday restaurant favorite, Dosa Diner, in Hicksville, Long Island. In this store you can find a ton of cheaply priced pantry staples, many aligned with Hindu vegetarianism. It is worth a stopping by– their products are tremendously cheaper than the very same items sold at [...]
The Real-Deal Vegan Brunch
On sunny Sunday, August 1, 2010, I found inspiration in the pages of The Electrician‘s omnivorous cook books as he manually labored in his yard. A proper vegan bunch! Complete with the works: traditional brunch staples, both sweet and savory, served on vintage China and vividly colored fabric with tasty adult beverages… a brunch that [...]
Vegan Days to Vegan Nights
It’s about time I got myself to Stogo, New York City’s all-vegan gourmet ice cream shop. To escape the debilitating heat and humidity, CandyPenny and I ducked into the East Village storefront’s huge people-watching windows to cool down with their soy, hemp and coconut-based frozen treats. Stogo has some wonderful rotating flavors like Bananas Foster, [...]
[What I Am Doing on My Summer Vacation] {Part 1}
1. Watching the butterfly activity around the Electrician‘s butterfly bush. 2. Collecting hugs. 3. Trying to return to baking. Here is a two-layer orange cake with lemon glaze icing. For my Pop’s birthday. 4. Weekending in the Hamptons. That’s an outdoor shower next to the “Love Shack”. 5. Seeing the family. 6. Eating A LOT [...]
Happy Father’s Day c/o Orange Glazed Scones
My family gets to try a lot of my goodies. I bet my this fact doesn’t excite them half as much as it excites me to have an opportunity to bake! For Father’s Day I knew I needed to switch up my usual offering of cupcakes to account for the fact that the house is [...]
Cool Cups Vegan “Jello” Cups
Hi, Welcome to my new blog label “product reviews”! Here I’ll be risking my hard-earned dollars in the name of vegan product exploration. The vegan food market is growing in leaps and bounds. A trip to the health food store reveals more and more new products geared towards us ethical eaters. I plan to take [...]
Vegan Milano Cookies
After this recipe incubated in my “inbox” for weeks, it was time to put my unemployed hours to greater use and get crackin’ on it. This messy cookie assembly required the patience of idle weekday hours and itunes at no one-in-my-building-is-home levels. The culmination: a king-sized, slightly fatter vegan version of the Pepperidge Farm classic. [...]
