I love it when our CSA begins in June. Thursdays become like Christmas, with a wonderful delicious surprise each week. At the same time, our local farmer’s market starts up for the year, turning the Saturdays at the corner of the park into a tented food haven. It is a lovely opportunity to try out […]

Day 60: Okay, I don’t like shrimp but I love these. The name put me off for ages, but they are really delicious. I wasn’t sure if I’d have enough left for the photo, I was sucking them down! They are from the wonderful Raw Food for Everyone by Alissa Cohen. Her restaurant, Grezzo, is […]

Day 59: I adapted this from a book called Power Foods for the Brain. Oh, and it’s delicious, too. What could be better? I actually have to find the part which talks about why sweet potatoes are good for the brain. I’m afraid I went straight to the recipes and started cooking. Ingredients: 2 cups […]

Day 56: This smoothie is so refreshing. I love it. My husband came in with a bottle of organic coconut water the other day, saying he thought I’d like it. I do! I was excited because it meant I could make this smoothie, which has been bookmarked for ages. It is adapted from the Green […]

Day 54: What to do with a rutabaga? Yes, indeed, WHAT? (Any ideas – please post below) We received a couple of these wrinkly veggies in our Winter CSA – just when I was getting a handle of cabbage, these arrived instead, like devil brains. I adapted a rutabaga mash from Veganomicon by Isa Chandra […]

Day 53: I love how I am starting to automatically think in terms of vegan dishes. This is new for me. I made this in a hurry, and it works. I ate the whole bowl! Ingredients: 1 Cup rice pasta I portion of Italian Broccoli 1/2 lb crimini mushrooms, cleaned and sliced finely (I use […]
