Carving Pumpkin, Carving Out Tradition | Pumpkin Bread

October 26, 2020 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

Pumpkin carving is a tradition worth having and when you are done, you can turn your handiwork into something worth eating. So long soggy pumpkin bread that’s decidedly un-pumpkiny. I’ve figured out how to bake pumpkin into the kind of bread that would make even the scariest Halloween pumpkin smile. This Halloween, like so much…

Vegan Cat Head Biscuits with Spinach and Mushroom Gravy (and no Cats)

August 31, 2020 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

cat head biscuits and gravy

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….

Life (and Granny Cake) During Wartime: What a Vintage Recipe Can Teach Us About Doing More With Less

July 27, 2020 by Ellen Kanner 4 Comments

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. So maybe it’s no coincidence that when researching ideas for my conscious cookery series, I came across a vintage wartime…

Calling Forth Morning in America

June 22, 2020 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

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,…

Chilling in the Days of Coronavirus — Freezing Fresh Produce | Conscious Cookery Day 2

March 19, 2020 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

Did you know that freezing fresh produce is not only possible but a great way to extend its life? Since COVID-19 took over, it feels a little like life has stopped. It hasn’t. We need to keep going.  I mean, just look at your produce.  It hasn’t stopped.  Fresh fruits and vegetables add brightness, flavor…

When Irish Eyes are Crossed

March 11, 2019 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

In preparation for St. Patrick’s Day this Sunday, I’m glad to share my recipe for Irish soda bread — a little untraditional, but totally vegan, totally yummy. In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, I made Irish soda bread. Sort of. When I went from vegetarian from vegan some years back, what I missed and thought…

Rosemary Flatbread with Truffle Honey by Anna Thomas

September 5, 2016 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

Happy Labor Day. Making it even happier is we’re into Whole Grains Month, celebrating the whole range of whole grains, from amaranth, the It whole grain of the moment, to old friends like brown rice and oats. They’re cheap, sustainable and sustaining. I could go on. In fact, I was going to go on and…

Seed Cake

April 11, 2016 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

Posted originally on  03/25/2013 for Huffington Post Meatless Monday: Spring Awakening I’d intended to make this post about Passover and Easter, the two holidays that bookend this week. Nature has had other ideas, signaling to me in my favorite kind of way. The bees have been buzzing around my firebush, the bluejays and mockingbirds are…
