Soup is not only warming and nourishing, it's a terrific way to use up leftovers and small amounts of vegetables that may otherwise go to waste. So it's always a win all around. This week was no exception. I had been experimenting with chickpea and...
On days when we get home late from the studio, nothing beats having dinner "mostly done". It's such a welcoming relief to walk through the door and be greeted by a lovely aroma and not have to frantically try to figure out what to make....
I leisurely flip through recipe books the way many people enjoy a magazine. I love the photography, enjoy the written content and deeply admire the creativity. A recent book I have been enjoying is by vegan author Celine Steen. I came upon a truffle recipe...
