Bowl of Sattvic mung dal

I cannot fathom the anger that drove the mob in Washington last week. My views, my feelings don’t matter here. What matters is how we go forward as a democracy, as a nation.

Vegan Crostata

In that last gasp of the holiday harrieds, catch a break and feed yourself right with this Mediterranean-inspired crostata.

It’s date cake drowning in…
