Going to Seed (in a Good Way)

January 23, 2023 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

Slices of seed cake on a plate.

“Seeds are where it all begins,” as I write in Feeding the Hungry Ghost. “They’re superconcentrated sources of energy.”  Are they ever.   Incredible how something so tiny, smaller than a grain of rice, has the power to push up through the soil, emerge in daylight, and sprout.  The basil, kale, mint, arugula, sorrel, peppers…

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.

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….
