Vegan Pho
Pho is definitely at the top of my comfort foods list, as it is for so many of my friends and family. I grew up in the Seattle area, which has a huge Asian population, and access to tons of fantastic and authentic Asian food. Personally, I don’t think I could’ve grown up in a…

Cream of Collard Greens (Vegan)
Cream of Collard Greens is a comfort food classic, turning the deep flavors of collards into a rich, filling meal. Usually this type of soup would be dependent on cream and butter, but I assure you that the rich creaminess of this recipe will leave you missing nothing. I like to call this soup, “Poor…

Seitan Burgundy (Vegan Bourguignon)
I made this Burgundy, also called Bourguignon, with seitan for the first time in culinary school; and I approached it like it was the most intimidating dish in the world. In my defense, bourguignon is a classic French dish, which feels a little inherently intimidating; let alone making it vegan. Let me tell you— it’s…

Vegan Seitan Piccata
I don’t know about you, but I am fascinated with American cuisine; not only what it is now, but how it came to be. So many of America’s favorite foods are based on comfort foods from around the world, which changed into something new in the states based on availability (or unavailability) of ingredients & …

Carrot + Green Chile Baked Polenta
Baked Polenta is one of my newest food obsessions– it’s rich and warm, like having a whole meal of savory veggies & cornbread. This baked polenta recipe is heavy on Mexican flavors, because those are my favorite flavors to have with warm sweet corn; made with canned green chiles, carrots, onions, garlic and the deep…

Vegan French Onion Mac & Cheese
The idea for French Onion Mac n Cheese is based on a recipe that I saw on New York Times Cooking. I love browsing NYT Cooking for inspiration, and when I saw the headline for French Onion Mac n Cheese, I pretty much instantly became obsessed with how to make that same thing plant-based. Luckily,…
