Summer harvest and summer grilling come together for a vegetarian summerfest in your mouth. Celebrate the summer of plant-based love with a plate full of grilled zucchini.

Bryant Terry: The Man Who Would be (Vegetable) King
A new cookbook by Bryant Terry, means it’s time to celebrate. We were just getting the party started with the release of his latest book, Vegetable Kingdom when Covid-19 hit. Instead of a victory lap/author tour/plant-based party, Terry’s been sheltering in place with his wife and young two daughters. At least they’re eating well. This…
Green Goodness – Eating in Season
This Green Goodness puree makes a delicious, seasonal sandwich spread. It’s perfect for hot days when you don’t want to cook. You can also enjoy it like a dip for your favorite vegetables.

Mango Freeze
There is always a process that must occur in order to affect change. Whether we are changing ourselves for a better society or changing a fruit to make a tastier treat, we must follow a process of transformation. Each little action creates a ripple effect that eventually changes the whole. We can each be a…
Fireworks Black Bean and Mango Salad
This Black Bean and Mango Salad is so quick and easy, it barely qualifies as a recipe. But it explodes with pizzazz, pairing the sweet summer burst mango (let’s hear it for fresh, seasonal and local — summer means mango season in South Florida) with a zing of chili. Black beans add fiber for fullness…
Calling Forth Morning in America
I originally wrote this Huffington Post piece on the eve of the 2016 election, urging everyone to vote. I even embedded video of Maya Angelou from 1993, reciting her poem, “On the Pulse of Morning” at Bill Clinton’s presidential inauguration. It all seems almost quaint now, with a pandemic, systemic racism called out at last,…

WWE Superstar Daniel Bryan Stomps On Meat Originally posted for Huffington Post on 04/16/2012 Daniel Bryan is vegan, but don’t…
Rising Up — The World in a Crust of Bread
By bread and salt, we are united. I was heartbroken when I wrote this back in 2016, in response to the mass shooting at Pulse. I’m heartbroken now and reposting after yet another act of hate and violence. This is for George Floyd, Auhmad Arbery, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Tamir Rice, Sandra Bland — all…
Mango Pulp Fiction – Naked Mango Salad
I wrote this many years ago, in the rich, riotous throes of Miami mango season, long before Covid-19 altered life for all of us. Even in these dark, uncertain days, it’s mango season once again. Savor the sweetness and believe in the bright, sunny days to come. I’d intended a loftier, more literary tone and…
Wafuu, Dinner in Hand
You won’t find wafuu in sushi bars, but it’s a beloved comfort food often served in Japanese homes and as a lunch shop special. Think of it as the Japanese equivalent of mac and cheese. An enormous sweet potato sat on my kitchen counter. It was among the last offerings from my CSA before season…
