Quinoa Cakes Part One: Spicy South Indian
Recently, a friend told me about these vegan sweet potato burgers she had made for a small dinner party. She used cannellini beans, sweet potatoes, and tahini, among a few other ingredients. She topped off her burgers with marinated tofu, sprouts, and tomatoes. They sounded so delicious, I became inspired to try my own. I [...]
Ragi Dosa with Coconut Kadipatha Chutney
I’m home for the holidays and I couldn’t be happier. During these blissfully slow days, you’ll find me doing one of three things: reading, resting or cooking.

After momentarily wallowing in the disappointment of the not-so-tasty-and-very-expensive cherries, we decided to make a chutney out of it. We tossed around ideas of adding fenugreek, mustard [...]
Miso Eggplant & Tempeh Saute
I came up with this dish when I found some gorgeous Thai basil at my local food co-op. The basil was fresh and fragrant with beautiful deep purple florets. Admittedly, I made this dish up as I went along. I knew I loved the combination of eggplant and Thai basil, and the combination of eggplant [...]
