Hi everyone, Donna Saliter here, Catherine’s webmaster for Cuisinicity.com. Catherine is taking a temporary leave of absence from her Cuisinicity blogging to concentrate on her family during a difficult time. She asked me if I could write to you all on her behalf to let you know why she has been silent lately, and also to make sure you know how much you mean to her! For ... Read More »

Basic French Green Lentils
I LOVE French green lentils (also called Le Puy) culinarily because they stay "al dente" and are just perfect for salads! They are very "petite" (but of course!) and have a strong nutty flavor to them. My French Lentil and Sweet Potato Salad uses these–YUM! You will also love my Carrot Quinoa Lentils. I love lentils in general because, nutritionally, they are truly ... Read More »
Basic Quinoa
Quinoa is a staple in my kitchen! I love its sweet taste and texture. It is a delicious gluten-free whole grain with fiber and is one of the most protein-rich foods we can eat, containing all 9 essential amino acids (I just found that out myself!). This basic recipe is a no fuss, full-proof, always perfectly cooked, not mushy (very important!), fluffy, yummy whole grain side ... Read More »
Your muffins sustained me through the wait for real labor!!
Dear Catherine, Now your super yummy muffins will have an extra special emotional significance for our family: I had just baked a big batch of them, since I wanted my older daughter to have her favorite breakfast while my husband and I were in hospital for the birth of our second daughter , when my water broke. I took my older one to bed, then grabbed half the batch of ... Read More »
Fresh Cherry Galette
I love my vegan galette crust so much, I am always looking for ripe fruit in season to whip it up on the spot! I have made it with pears, apples, peaches and nectarines and of course strawberries, the inspiration for my original classic vegan rustic strawberry galette. Here is my latest variation, made with fresh cherries: WOW...absolutely delicious! It's true, it's a little ... Read More »
Peach Walnut Date Scones
When peaches are in season, these scones are a must: they spell sunny lazy summer morning! Peaches, dates and walnuts are another divine trio full of flavor and nutrients to add to my Cuisinicity trifecta scones (check my other ones: Pear Walnut Fig Scones, Pumpkin Raisin Walnut scones, Apple Date Walnut Scones). They are vegan and have no added sugar–the sweetness comes ... Read More »
Eggplant Fricassée (Vegan)
A Fricassée is a southern French dish, halfway between a sauté and a stew, typically prepared with chicken or meat. Here, I do away with either and just have eggplant take center stage for a hearty vegan dish! It is a cinch to throw together --all you need is time for it to bake in the oven for an hour, but ahhhh it is so worth it! I love to serve it piping hot out of the ... Read More »
Basic Whole Wheat Couscous
I absolutely love couscous! It is a staple of North African cooking, which of course brings back memories of my childhood. I use whole wheat couscous, rather than just plain couscous because it is higher in fiber and protein and it tastes just about the same. The "trick" with cooking couscous is to make sure that each grain is light and fluffy and not clumpy! This easy ... Read More »
Chocolate Hazelnut Pots de Crème
These luscious pots de crème are a no-bake variation of my famous original vegan Crème au Chocolat. They add the sweet nutty taste of hazelnuts! If you love nutella, as most French people do--in fact they are obsessed (!)--you will absolutely LOVE these, c'est un régal ! Of course they are much healthier (not all that added sugar) and sustainable (no palm oil of course) and ... Read More »
Basic Black Lentils
I LOVE black lentils culinarily because they are dark and dense and are just perfect for those recipes that call for that dark intense color. They are unobtrusive in flavor while just imparting their creaminess, when pureed. I love lentils in general because, nutritionally, they are truly outstanding (I mean that quite literally: click here to find out more about the health ... Read More »
