What’s the Best Vegan Burger in New York City? [Part 1]
That is the question. A good, hearty and satisfying veggie burger is an occasional must. And luckily it they’re pretty much a menu staple at both veg and omni eateries alike. But where to go? A group of vegan field reporters and I bring you this expansive report on the good, the bad and the [...]
Cocoa V: Chocolate & Cheese (like that Ween album)
Sometimes, because I live in New York City, I pretend I have hit the big time. (I certainly have not, though I have miraculously landed a job last week amidst a city-wide hiring freeze.) Fiscal irresponsibility is a very NYC trait. Surviving a week, a semester, a milestone in the big, mean city makes an [...]
Days of Daiya
I have Daiya, among other vegan treats for my upcoming holiday cookie marathon. But yes, Daiya–the hot topic vegan cheese. I have taken it apart before but never had a stash of my own to experiment with.I don’t know what to make with shredded cheese. It’s been so long! Starting basic, I whipped up a [...]
Vegan MoFo #24: Vegan on the I-5 South
I had some unfinished business in the Pacific Northwest. And by business I mean vegan food to eat. This time I flew into Seattle only to head straight to Portland, Oregon, thee vegan capital of the country. But after a long transatlantic flight, we weren’t going to make it all the way to Portland without [...]
VeganMoFo #11: Vegan Pizza… On Long Island?!
Before I start let me just say that I am really excited about this post. Never before have I wanted to spread the world about an eatery! But I’m getting ahead of myself…
First, as Daiya cheese is sweeping the vegan world, the list of places to enjoy it keeps on growing. I noticed recently that [...]
VeganMoFo #2: Daiya Deconstructed
It is all the rage but what is Daiya? What’s in it? Here I go, deconstructing sunshine.
Purified water
Ground cassava: a starchy root from the tropics you may know as yucca. It’s related to tapioca.
Arrowroot: another tropical starch related to tapioca
high oleic sunflower oil: sunflower oil that is at least 82% oleic acid, a mono-unsaturated omega-9 [...]
The Upper East Side… This Really Sucks
True, I am not in love with Manhattan’s Upper East Side but I am more quoting the hilarious Ma Kelly in Johnny Dangerously when she plainly states, hobbling to her L.E.S. tenement: “The Lower East Side. This really sucks.“
I’m back on the Upper East Side for my fieldwork placement. So making lemon cake out of [...]
Finding the V-Spot
I don’t get out to Park Slope much. But after the hiatus-ed FoodSparrow reported that Daiya was now on V-Spot’s menu, we followed our hungry hearts. V-Spot is one of those places I’ve been to several times but never seem to order the right thing. I keep trying because I really want to love the [...]
Slice o’ Heaven
Considering I have travel 9,000+ miles for vegan food (see my blog reporting in Thailand) I suppose I can venture to 74th street and 2nd avenue for Slice. Slice, which has been on my radar since its opening years ago, is a special parlor of pizza- one that offers the elusive Daiya vegan cheese as [...]
