The combination of the sweet & sour apple cider vinaigrette, fresh grated apple and chopped hazelnuts (or other nuts) with the finely chopped kale is absolutely superb! I now use this salad as a foundation: by that, I mean that I like to "build on it" and make it more of a centerpiece all-in-one meal (how wonderful is that?!) so I can add some grains and legumes or beans ...

Eggplant Chickpeas & Raisins
This is definitely a feel-good for your soul kind of dish...at least it is for me! It reminds me of a North African dish we used to make for the Jewish holidays when I was a little girl (except it also had chicken). The fresh ginger and blend of sweet spices and raisins simmer slowly with the eggplant and thinly sliced onions resulting in an absolutely luscious sauce! I love ... Read More »

Vegan Banana Date Bread
The combination of ripe banana and medjool dates achieves--dare I say--a certain "butter-iness" in this Vegan Banana Date Bread. This is my new welcome home banana bread for my Natalia who has become vegan but I have to say, it may just become THE welcome home banana bread for the rest of the family too! It is SO YUMMY! I think you can tell from the photo how moist and rich ... Read More »

Nut Lace Cookies (Vegan)
These crispy delicate cookies are modeled after French lace cookies, typically made with butter, white flour and lots of sugar. Instead, I use ground nuts and whipped up aquafaba or the liquid drained from canned chickpeas (click here to learn more about it, it is brilliant...I wish I had thought of it on my own!!!), so it is completely vegan! I cut down drastically on the ... Read More »
Mousse à la Fraise (Vegan)
This little dessert was inspired by Mark Bittman's delicious Strawberry Fool recipe which he calls "minimalist" because it is basically fresh strawberries in season and whipped cream. It occurred to me that I should try to make a vegan version, using whipped aquafaba (or the drained liquid from canned chickpeas!)...and lo and behold....it worked!! I added a little dark rhum ...

Vegan Rustic Strawberry Galette
This Vegan Rustic Strawberry Galette is the vegan version of my Rustic Strawberry Galette! OH MY GOODNESS I am so excited that I was able to recreate it so closely to the original, because I have to admit, I thought it just couldn't be done (so glad I was wrong!!). It is just as delicate and luscious--a perfect summer dessert when strawberries are in season! This makes a ... Read More »
