Lots of Vegan Food
in Rochester, NY {Part 6}

Back in Rochester means more vegan eats to try! So let’s back to it… Crave has some really great choices for vegans: vegan ramen, bun, bowls, etc. A sucker for a rice flour bun, I started with some of their tofu buns. A nice chunk of tofu, pickled daikon and Read more…

Health Illiteracy (Level 1, 2, and 3)

Hippocrates: “Let food be thy medicine, and let medicine be thy food.” Western Medicine: Well that’s not profitable. Big Food: I’m on it! Big Pharma: Save!

Scenes From a Quarantine, Part 5

Here are the latest highlights from the Quarantine cafe! First in the bakery, my failed sourdough starter. It was bubbling nice and fine, but I accidentally killed it. I’m starting another tomorrow, because… persistence. Next a stop at the bar before I’m seated at the best seat in the house. Read more…


These are a few of my favorite things:
Daikon Radish

I have been devouring raw daikon… It’s a pretty hardcore snack, perhaps the gateway snack to my nibbling on raw horseradish! The radishes, in general, are pretty bad ass snacks. They’re roots, so they’re like taking a bite of the Earth, and their pungent spice knocks you out… like wasabi. Read more…


Bike & Eat

Below: Silly bike selfies with MP The only all-vegan spot in Bay Ridge, Shangri-La. Shangri-La is has plenty of mock meats that new vegetarians are all about.  Read more…


Detox Salad Days

Your body needs an internal scrub every now and again. Preparing a week’s worth of detox salads means you are eating raw for a good portion of the day. I’ve been experimenting with combining powerfully detoxifying veggies during a pre-summer detox. Shredding all ingredients helps body break food down easily and Read more…


Taco Magic at Black Flamingo

First, a quick appetizer before my dinner date: Clementine Bakery in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. My last (and only) visit was when they had recently opened their doors. They’ve grown up well! Now: dinner. In the great expanse of New York City, sometimes an eatery can exist without showing up on your radar field. Read more…


Veg-heavy Days

This week’s gorgeous lunch photographed so well. Grilled tempeh, roasted beets, brown & wild rice pilaf with dill, cashew & diced red pepper, sautéed beet greens and Dino kale. Who wants to cook dinner in this sweltering heat? It was time to use my Asian market goodies and make some summer rolls. Inside: avocado, Read more…


Philly Eats Via Jersey Shore

In my quest of reporting vegan eats near and far, I have grown quite adept at planning trips with maximum “umph.” To follow, my most recent excursion to Philadelphia by way of the Jersey Shore, two destinations with thriving vegan options. In the interest of my hazy Sunday head, I Read more…


Crossing the Mason-Dixon: Vegan Eats in Richmond, VA (Day 2)

There is nothing more fantastic than a tofu scramble in the morning… especially when you group the classic vegan breakfast with a good cup of Joe and the freedom of having the whole day at your disposable. No errands. None of the normal routines that eat up your day and Read more…


VeganSecretSupper {Goodbye, Brooklyn Part 3}

Chef Merida hosts Vegan Secret Supper-s in her apartment in Brooklyn. And a 4-course, from-scratch, all-vegan, local, and organic high-end break from cleaning out the last of my life in Brooklyn is just what I needed. Like me, Vegan Secret Supper (VSS) is moving on from Brooklyn. The Chef is Read more…


Summer Eats: Bánh mì

Bánh mì is the perfect summer eat. It’s vibrant, flavorful and not too heavy. It’s great on the go, is on-the-cheap and, thanks to a long lifespan of buzz… including a recent episode of This American Life, is sprouting up all over the place! Not to mention the portion is Read more…


Eating Good In the Neighborhood

No, Applebee’s did not open in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. (Not yet at least.) It’s Banh Mi, an authentic Vietnamese eatery with all the staples: bubble tea, pho, bun and, like the name implies, Bahn Mi! They took over where the Curves gym once was and I am delighted to welcome them to Read more…


The Aphrodisiac Prix Fixe

The regular menu at Pawtucket’s Garden Grille, a vegetarian restaurant north of downtown Providence, was wholly promising. I very much looked forward to dining there, the most asterisked entry of my Providence hit-list. But in town for heart-day, we would feast on their special 5-course prix fixe menu designed exclusively Read more…


Giving Thanks, Part III:

I am thankful to survive, and thrive, through the love and support of friends. Thanksgiving plans changed drastically at the last minute due to reasons a trained psychologist will need to help me understand. Luckily, I was able to find a place to feast. Here are the highlights: CP‘s almond Read more…
