Bulgur with kale and spiced chickpeas

Bulgur with Kale and Spiced Chickpeas is the perfect post-hurricane food during power outages. This hearty recipe requires no cooking and no refrigeration. It’s conscious cookery at its finest.

Wafuu, Dinner in Hand

May 18, 2020 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

You won’t find wafuu in sushi bars, but it’s a beloved comfort food often served in Japanese homes and as a lunch shop special.  Think of it as the Japanese equivalent of mac and cheese. An enormous sweet potato sat on my kitchen counter.  It was among the last offerings from my CSA before season…

May 4, 2020 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

zucchini, celery and spring onions for clabacitas

Calabacitas–roughly translated as “zucchini” is a hearty, vegetarian Mexican dish that is intensely satisfying. Serve it alone as a side or add rice and tortillas to make it a meal. We see — or want to see — glimmerings of hope, of life after Covid-19, of a return to normal life.  But honey, I think…

Quinoa With Mint Pesto and Spring Greens

Quinoa with Mint Pesto and Spring Greens

I’d intended to make this post about Passover and Easter, the two holidays coming up this week. Nature has had other ideas, signaling to me in my favorite kind of way. As the birds and the bees flit about collecting seeds and pollen, we too begin to enjoy more of nature in our food. Fresh…

Dengaku and Oshitashi

Forks Over Knives Originally posted on 06/06/2011 for Huffington Post As a devoted member of the vegan tribe, I always wonder about the best way we can get our message across. Frankly, I worried Forks Over Knives wasn’t it. I’m totally behind its premise — going vegan beats heart surgery — but it doesn’t make…

My Favorite People, My Favorite Recipes: Aglaia Kremezi

hortopsomo

I dream of running away to the Greek islands. Aglaia Kremezi and her husband Costas Moraitis actually did it. They left Athens in 2001 for the idyllic island of Kea, in the Cyclades and never looked back. If I ever get to Kea, I may never leave, either, especially knowing I’d be near Aglaia, cookbook…
