A generous Peach Almond Polenta Squares slice on a blue plate snuggles next to two peach slices and a rosemary garnish.

This little dessert or afternoon tea pastry is just perfect on a beautiful summer day when peaches are in season, and are sweet, ripe and juicy! They are a cross between my Peach Flat Cake and my Orange Polenta Petits Fours. The mixture of ground almonds and stone-ground polenta gives these Peach Almond Polenta Squares a unique texture and flavor that blends so nicely with ... Read More »

This is the vegan version of my popular Lemon Pistachio Chicken. It's just as delicious and "meaty"! I mean, take a look at that picture-WOW! Like the original, it is quick and simple: Just make sure to have all your ingredients ready to go on your kitchen counter beforehand.  The pistachios create the creaminess of the sauce and the wine, combined with the fresh lemon juice ...

Calentica is the garbanzo bean or chickpea flour version of cornmeal polenta. It is such a wonderful, nutritious, protein-filled go-to simple "base" to use with any topping you'd like! Originally, Calentica was one of those street food sold in the streets in my family's hometown of Oran, in Algeria. It was cheap, easy to make and could feed and delight a hungry family. So, ...

Bean Pot au Feu in a blue-gray ceramic bowl sits on a red-with-white-striped cloth placemat and decorative snowman in the background.

This is a vegan remake of my Turkey Bean Pot-au-Feu...sans Turkey! I just make it with lots of French cannellini beans (you can also use great Northern beans) and it's just as yummy and satisfying! I like to cook it in a slow-cooker so that all those wonderful Provencal flavors blend in slowly together. It's a perfect stew on a cold wintery night! Bean Pot au Feu ... Read More »

Fluffy, moist, thick yet light: All a yummy pancake should be...and these are vegan! I have tasted vegan pancakes before and um, yeah, OK, they were good, but I was never impressed--Well, not anymore-- I cannot believe I achieved it! I think the secret for their fluffiness is the whipped-up aquafaba that I use in my batter. It's simply drained liquid from canned beans ... Read More »
