This photo was taken part-way through cooking - after stewing for about another hour, it was rich and sticky, and bursting with sweet Moroccan flavour. I'd definitely recommend it!

The NYTimes republished Mark Bittman's list-article of "101 substantial main courses, all of which get you in and out of the kitchen in 10 minutes or less." Last time I saw the same piece, I skimmed a few entries and left on account of all the fish, shrimp, and eggs, but this time I doggedly went through the whole thing looking for vegan or vegan- ( Read more... )

Howdy fellow herbivores,

Finally it's time to share my all-time favorite meatless dish with you. Carnivores usually eat this as a side , but I enjoy eating this as a main course, much like others would enjoy a hearty, yet lightweight stew.

So, this request sounds kind of silly to me and probably to you, but I am looking for easy recipes that can be made one-handed or just don't require a lot of effort to put together, things that can be made fairly quickly, or filling stuff that can be frozen and thawed later. The reason I ask is, I'm having shoulder surgery next week, and my mom ( Read more... )

I grow a lot of my own food, and prefer to use my own produce over storebought whenever possible. I currently can, freeze, and dry a lot of the fruits of my garden, but have recently started eating more raw than previously and am now rethinking my storage methods. Can veg be frozen to be used raw later, and have them still be as beneficial, or am I ( Read more... )

So, I tried going through the enormous amount of tags, but I didn't see anything that answered this question. If anyone has a link to the appropriate tag that I might have missed, it would be much appreciated ( Read more... )
