September 20, 2021 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

It’s #NationalLatinHeritageMonth, so celebrate with the #Latinx flavors we love like these Cuban Black Beans. Flavorful, protein-packed black beans are paired with cumin, paprika, garlic, and of course, jalapeno because we like it a little spicy! This Cuban Black Beans recipe will be in my forthcoming book, Miami Vegan: Succulence and Sizzle in the 305,…

August 2, 2021 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

Greek Fava is a traditional veggie dish that makes a great starter, light meal and would look gorgeous on a vegan charcuterie board. Despite the name, Fava is actually made with yellow peas. In the tale of Jack and the Beanstalk, Jack’s life changed when he traded his cow for a handful of magic beans….

Bowl of Sattvic mung dal

I cannot fathom the anger that drove the mob in Washington last week. My views, my feelings don’t matter here. What matters is how we go forward as a democracy, as a nation. After the rage of last week, going forward together, as president-elect Biden urges, may feel like a reach. So start by reaching…

Sprouting – Cocina Povera | Conscious Cookery Day 3

March 24, 2020 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

sprouting beans is easy, healthy and delicious.

I wish we had a recipe for a coronavirus serum.  But there’s some immunity-boosting magic we can all do.  Sprouting.  Sprouting pulses (dried beans) ups their digestibility and nutritional profile. They’re living foods with all their natural goodness intact.  Besides, sprouting gives you another option for all those dried beans you stockpiled. Sprouting is cheap,…
