Roasted Vegetable Extravaganza
When there’s 42 degrees of difference between the temperature indoors and outdoors, you know it’s cold enough for heavy-duty roasting in the kitchen.
Deep-dish Mushroom and Barley Pie
An impressive main course classic to impress friends and family over the Holidays.
Baked Beans Bourgignon
I’ve always though that baked beans and Bourgignon sauce combined would be a match made in heaven. Think about it. Baked beans. With wine. And rosemary. And lots of roasted mushrooms. After trying it the verdict is that it’s damn decadent: pure comfort food be it for breakfast, lunch or supper. At breakfast, it can…
Easy Pan-Fried Tofu
This is the reliable old fallback for those rare time I make tofu rather than beans. It’s great on top of grains, alongside a serving of greens, or added to a meal-salad. It also works well as filling for a wrap or pita pocket. And most important – the toddler likes it – so it…
Shortcut Curry
While it’s nice to spend the day chopping, sautéing and simmering – sometimes you just want dinner on the table quickly and easily. But you don’t want it to taste like tin can beans and tomato sauce… Shortcut curry it is. While there are dozens of variations on the theme, this one works by jazzing…
Kidney Bean Bake with Celery Root Mash
It’s Saturday and that means weekend cooking. A bake once more, so consider it a bit more of a time investment but it yields a wonderfully savory pan full of Tex-Mex inspired textures and tastes; with extra chili to spare! The recipe also features kidney beans and celery root which don’t typically get a lot…
Bean, Beet and Buckwheat Bake
This recipe has lots of robust and earthy flavours going for it: great when the weather turns cold and you want something warm and homey. It’s also got lots of layers with a multitude of textures to keep you interested from first bite to last. Like the Harvest Tempeh Bake however (and most baked dishes…
Harvest Tempeh Bake
This is the recipe you take out when you want to impress for Thanksgiving dinner and take advantage of the late-season harvest. Tasty, savory, 100% comfort food – this bake doesn’t only look pretty! Consider yourself warned however: this is not a recipe you make on a weeknight when you’re pressed for time. It also…
Arugula-Pistachio Pesto Pasta
Arugula grows like a weed in the garden and there’s only so much salad that one can take. Luckily, it can be used in much the same way as spinach or basil, with an extra peppery punch that is. It can also bulk out pesto and combines beautifully with whatever herbs are fresh and in…
Awesome Indian-Style Veggies and Grains
As so often happens, the recipe I ended up making was nothing like the one I’d initially planned on. For starters there isn’t even any pineapple in it and the point of the exercise when I began was to use some of the pineapple that’s ready on the kitchen counter. But it’s a good thing…
Quinoa-Bean Burgers (and Variations)
I’ve been dithering about whether on not to post this recipe for a few days now. It’s good, it’s reliable, but it isn’t fabulous. It is quick to put together and freezes well. It does use up leftovers. But what really tipped the scales in favour of posting is that it illustrates a basic veggie-burger…
