So after I planned my [awesome] menu for the week, my husband informs me he is sick. Usually he wishes chicken soup [made with bones, and the one of the only times we usually cook with meat] when ill, but we have a vegetarian [technically kosher (flexible obviously, as he is willing to eat our food at all) but when he lives with us we usually just ( Read more... )

I got a white acorn squash at the farmer's market almost two weeks ago. It was definitely an impulse buy; but in my defense; one of the farmer's had various hard squashes for a dollar each-regardless of size or weight. I hope that means you can understand how I ended up with butternut, spaghetti, white acorn, delicata and red kuri squashes sitting ( Read more... )

My Malaysian flatmate used to make a similar soup that also had chicken in it so I decided to veganise it. Its a really light soup with a really nice flavour.

Tonight I made the Nearly Instant Thai Coconut Corn Soup (if you look at the Amazon.com link, this recipe is included in the excerpts!). I'm not a ( Read more... )

I wish I'd taken a picture of this soup. It was so bloody good. I had 6 omnis over for dinner tonight and they loved all three courses (asparagus soup, homeade vegan pesto tagilatelli with slow rosted tomatoes and baked cinnamon apples with soy ice cream and strawberries) but my favorite part was the soup ( Read more... )

My dad and I have been living in Varanasi, India for the past year. I've been learning how to cook North Indian food, but this was my first attempt at something South. No pictures, I'm afraid: we ate it too quickly for that. The two secrets, I think, are the coconut oil I used for sauteeing the veggies and the tamarind paste, which added a nice ( Read more... )
