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 »
Basic Farro
Farro (also known as spelt) is an ancient Mediterranean type of wheat that I love to use a lot in my salads, risottos, and my vegan burgers because of its rich earthy nutty flavor and perfect chewiness. I also love it simply as a side dish! It is high in fiber (higher than quinoa), high in protein (same as quinoa) and rich in essential vitamins and minerals. I like to use ... Read More »
Basic TVP
TVP stands for textured Vegetable Protein. It is defatted soy flour. Culinarily, it sounds awful doesn't it? I think that's why I never thought to use it; it just didn't appeal! Nutritionally, it is a great source of protein and fiber (Click here to read more about soy's effect on health). I only just recently decided to give it a try in my Cuisinicity recipes after I had a ... Read More »
Turnip Potato in Currant Wine Glaze
I have long loved my classic Currant Wine Glazed Chicken which was one of the very first recipes I created 20 some years ago. It's reminiscent of the rich flavors of a coq au vin, tangy and sweet at the same time, and everyone I have served this dish to absolutely raves about it! It occurred to me that I should try to recreate it for my vegan guests too...and so here you have ... Read More »

Apple Cinnamon Muffins (Vegan)
OH MY GOODNESS ME! These vegan apple cinnamon muffins are the quintessential autumn treat during apple picking season. They fill my kitchen with that wonderful warm-your-heart-and-soul sweet aroma! They are filled with apples --and really, you can make this recipe with just about any variety of apples you have on hand, just as long as they come to 2 1/2 cups (packed) ... Read More »
