A Tofu Omelet Grows in Brooklyn

Before you even see these gorgeous little beasts, let me say a word about this fine piece of rock in my palm: black salt or, in its native Hindi, kala namak. No, black salt isn’t street code for heroin. It’s a special smokey salt. In Vegan Brunch Isa gives this specialty salt time to shine, [...]
