Hanukkah Party! Latkes! Sufganiyot! And Extras!

December 19, 2022 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

Latkes, golden, crispy fried potato pancakes. And sufganiyot, tender jelly donuts. What do they have in common?  Latkes traditionally contain eggs, sufganiyot can contain both eggs and dairy. Fear not, my wonderful friends and vegan queens Nava Atlas and Fran Costigan kindly share their latke and sufganiyot recipes, totally plantbased, entirely delicious. But dear ones, maybe…

Beat the Winter Woes with Mushroom Barley Soup 

November 28, 2022 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

You don’t need vegetable broth to make this mushroom barley soup. It’s simple to make but substantial to eat. The barley gives it body and thickness, the mushrooms, both fresh and dried, deliver rich flavor, oomph and umami.

Lavender Lentils

November 21, 2022 by Ellen Kanner 2 Comments

So many Thanksgiving articles dismiss anything not turkey as a side dish. To me, vegetables are always the main event, like this lavender lentil recipe.

Better on a Biscuit

November 14, 2022 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

Put the carb phobia aside and put a dreamy smile on your face.
