One of the many advantages of working with a Multinational Team when you are a foodie too is that you get to taste the authentic home-cooked food from different countries and also learn their secret cooking tips and tricks. I shared the recipe of Hot tofu bites a while ago where I applied the tips of making tofu taste better which I learned from a Chinese colleague. Today I am sharing another Chinese recipe learned from her....

As one of my most loved and most popular recipes, I had to include this in my Debut Cookbook ‘Comfy’! The BEST Chilli Con Carne First things first, whatever we call it, wherever we believe its origins lie, can we all just agree that this dish is the ultimate comfort food? Okay good. Its warm and spicy flavours just act as a soul-hugging bowl of goodness and quite frankly it never gets old....

Why You’ll Love This Easy Salad The flavors in this spinach salad are absolutely amazing! The ingredients are so simple, but everything goes together SO well. Earthy spinach, crisp apples, crunchy glazed pralines or toasted pecans, creamy blue cheese, sweet dried cranberries… and the maple vinaigrette just ties it all together with a bow!It’s incredibly easy to make, and there’s no cooking involved at all, unless you decide to toast pecans yourself....

Time for my favorite spring treat: vegan carrot cake! This carrot cake is probably the best I’ve ever had, vegan or not! My secret ingredient for making it extra amazing is pineapple. Pineapple adds moisture, sweetness and flavor to carrot cake. You won’t know it’s in there when you eat the cake — you’ll just be amazed at how wonderful this cake is. Let’s talk about how it’s made!...

You might need to eat this pizza with a fork. Let’s face it though, the best pizzas are those that require forks, right? In this case it’s so worth it. Every time I make pizza I kick myself for not making pizza more often, and this pizza was no exception. Each slice is kind of like a little falafel sandwich, all bready with tahini sauce, veggies and falafel patties piled on top, but eating it with a fork, all sloppy pizza style, makes it way fun....

I remember seeing signs for Vietnamese hoagies outside restaurants back when I moved to Philly. It sounded like a really weird concept to me at first. But then one night I visited a Vietnamese cafe that seemed to be the only place open for a few blocks. There was nothing on the menu I could eat as a vegetarian. I explained this to the server and got ready to leave, when she assured me that they did have veggie food and would hook me up....

These Moroccan meatballs are the veganization of one of our absolute favorite meals–the kind that you try on a whim, maybe the ingredients sound good or whatever, and when you take that first bite, you both look at each other and simultaneously groan. “It’s soooo good”, you mutter to one another, amid forkfuls of the tender meatballs, fortified with grassy cilantro, in a beautifully spiced tomato sauce, dotted with kalamata olives, over fluffy couscous and plumped dates....

Well, what kind of sham of a Thanksgiving are you hosting?! I figured that you were tired of Thanksgiving posts by now–mostly because I’ve run out of Thanksgiving recipes to send your way–so I’m hitting you with your new favorite Thanksgiving tradition: donuts for breakfast! But not just any donuts.. vegan pumpkin donuts with… salted caramel glaze I had to give each of those uh, words its own line, because I felt they were each too powerful to play well together inside a measly span tag....

Fall is here, and I for one am going through cans of pumpkin puree like nobody’s business! Fall baking is my jam and pumpkin is my absolute favorite way to do fall baking. I’ve been cranking out loaves of vegan pumpkin bread and stacks of vegan pumpkin pancakes. And if you come to dinner at my house, you better believe you’ll be getting some vegan pumpkin cake or vegan pumpkin cupcakes for dessert....

Sometimes the best things in life are the simplest! For example, Singapore noodles. Back when I first had a taste of this dish at an Asian fusion restaurant, I thought they were the most amazing thing I’d ever tasted. I wondered what could possibly go into this crazy delicious dish? (This was back in the days before Google provided all the answers.) It wasn’t until years later that I found out that the answer was so simple: rice noodles stir-fried in soy sauce in curry powder....

The initial idea behind this post was “100 Vegan Sandwiches for Your Lunchbox.” With back to school time upon us, it seemed like a good idea. It quickly became apparent that that wasn’t going to work. Delicious as it may sound, I just can’t recommend placing a sandwich with a name like “Sloppy Black Eyed Peas” in your kid’s lunchbox. Lunch ladies all around the world would soooooo have it out for me....
