Old Cookie Recipe for a New Year I’m not an eater of cookies. I seldom even bake them. I’m funny that way (and other ways). But as the holidays drew closer, cookies began pushing their way into an important part of my brain. Specifically, the cookies most beloved in my family, from Minnie, my great-great-great-great…
Panforte
Doing Dessert for a Sweet Solstice Originally posted for Huffington Post on 12/21/2015 Howdy and happy winter solstice. Winter officially begins tonight and we continue speeding towards Christmas, Kwanzaa and the finish line of 2015. As usual, I am not ready. In fact, I’m still mulling over something from October. My husband I were visiting Cayman…
Pumpkin Bread
Yum Pumpkin Bread I have tried so many pumpkin bread recipes, mine, other people’s, and have been disappointed with the results. Pumpkin’s quiet charms can become even more hushed when mixed in with batter. Pumpkin bread can be dry. Or soggy. Or heavy. Or oily. But rarely is it pumpkiny. So one day, I took…
Mexican Chocolate Love Bites
Halloween’s come and gone. It’s never too late for treats, though, especially these sweet wonders inspired by Mexico’s Dia de la Muertos, the Day of the Dead. I wanted to share an excerpt from my forthcoming book Vegetable Love: 105 Erotic Recipes from Artichoke to Zucchini. We’ve come to think of aphrodisiacs as Viagra —…

Maybe you missed National Pollinator Week , but you can still get in on the action. In fact, you should. Dedicating one week out of the year to protecting our…

Meatless Monday: Ms. Porter’s School For MILFs Originally posted on 05/05/2014 for Huffington Post In honor of all mothers everywhere, here’s a special Mother’s Day treat from The MILF Diet author Jessica Porter whom I absolutely love. I have a feeling you’ll feel the same way about her chocolate chip rice treats. Bling and flowers…
Raspberry Coconut Fool
Everybody’s Fool The Brits are in a bit of a bind at present, but think of all they’ve given us — Shakespeare, the music that shaped my life from the Beatles and the Who to punk, Monty Python, literature from the metaphyical poets to Zadie Smith and my food heroes Jamie Oliver and Nigel Slater….
Steviva KetoseSweet Lemon Poppy Tea Cake
Happy 2019. I’ve learned two things — 1) The healthiest thing you can do for yourself is to eat more greens. 2) People don’t want to eat more greens, they want to eat sweets. Sweetness wins. It’s a win for everyone when the sweetness comes from a source that doesn’t mess with your weight or…
Panforte
Doing Dessert for a Sweet Solstice Originally posted for Huffington Post on 12/21/2015 ‘Tis the season. I’m happy to share my favorite holiday recipe, my vegan version of the Italian classic confection panforte. Another sweet holiday tradition — Feeding the Hungry Ghost on sale for a limited time. Howdy and happy winter solstice. Winter officially begins tonight and…
Apricot Frangipane Tart
Apricots and almonds dazzle in this holiday tart. I’m all about seasonal produce but I’m also for cutting yourself some slack, especially during the rush-rush of the holiday season. Dried apricots magically plumped and revived with an overnight soak take the place of fresh, so you can make it any time of the year. The…
