Cat head biscuits are a southern staple. They are tall, fluffy and traditionally made with lard–but you won’t find lard in my Vegan Cat Head Biscuits. Instead, we are using chilled vegan butter, and you won’t believe the light and flaky texture. Instead of traditional sausage gravy, I’ve added a plant-based spinach and mushroom gravy….
Wild Rice Agrodolce
Agrodolce is a sweet and sour condiment sauce that is popular in Italian cooking. Wild Rice Agrodolce borrows some elements of that sweet and sour sauce. It has a touch of heat thanks to garlic and red pepper flakes, a touch of sweetness from currants, and brightness added by fresh herbs. The recipe comes from…
Hobo Stew

Miami is the COVID epicenter now, and everyone’s on edge. It feels a little like wartime. Not all wars are fought on the battlefield. Some are fought — and won — on the home front.

I originally wrote this Huffington Post piece on the eve of the 2016 election, urging everyone to vote.

It all seems almost quaint now, with a pandemic, systemic racism called out at last,…
