Tomato Corn Green Lima and Okra Soup in a bowl. Photo by Deborah Whitlaw Llewellyn

Among my culinary crushes, Vertamae Smart-Grosvenor stands tall.  She stood tall in real life, too. She was as statuesque and extroverted as I am short and nervous. We met in the pages of her 1970 cookbook/memoir, Vibration Cooking or The Travel Notes of a Geechee Girl. I’d never heard of Geechee before, and like the…

Pappa Al Pomodoro: A New Life for Old Bread | Conscious Cookery Day 6

April 10, 2020 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

Pappa Al Pomodoro is a soup for everyone made with old bread and bursting with flavor. This soup is a great way to reduce waste and increase consciousness. Before Covid-19 changed our world, many Americans were avidly anti-bread, following Paleo, Keto and gluten-free diets.  Sheltering in place has brought out everyone’s inner baker. It’s as…

Just Add Water – Cocina Povera | Conscious Cookery Day 4

March 26, 2020 by Ellen Kanner 2 Comments

We waste up to half our food in this country.  This is unacceptable in the best of times and now, in this time of lockdown, well, just don’t do it. Give produce bits and bobs the second chance they deserve. Make vegetable broth and agua fresca for free. Free. Do I have to say it…

Adeena Sussman knows what you want to eat.

In Sababa, Sussman’s first solo effort, the food passions are her own.  Sababa is Israeli slang…

French Lesson Originally posted for Huffington Post on 01/17/2011 Ah, the French. I love them, but I don’t pretend to understand them. And I’m not sure they get us, either. Of all America’s contributions to culture, who do they fall in love with? Jerry Lewis. When I was there last week, everyone was playing ‘70s disco —…

Anna Thomas’ Revolutionary Idea — “Vegan, Vegetarian, Omnivore” Originally posted for Huffington Post on 04/18/2016 I’ve long been a fan of Anna Thomas, not just for her culinary creativity but because we both believe in the power of a shared meal. If you’re in upstate New York this month, meet Anna at the Omega Institute. If you’re not,…

August 27, 2018 by Ellen Kanner Leave a Comment

You have only to look at Michael Suchman and Ethan Ciment, the Vegan Mos, to see they’re an adorable pair.  With their cookbook NYC Vegan, they offer veganized versions of the classic city eats you crave, from street meat (okay, it’s seasoned seitan) to black and white cookies.  Like so many of us, they love…
