Passionate for plants..especially edible ones. Vegetable and herbs of all kinds find there way into my kitchen. The produce section, farmers market, is a world of color, shape, aroma and texture. Explore along with me as I experiment, ponder, taste and savor the foods of a vegetable lifestyle. I love having a herb and vegetable garden... and encourage anyone with a bit of land or a pot to try. Of course, these days you can't think of food or farming without considering being green or eco.

What do Vegans eat?

I am constantly asked "but what do you eat"...like all I eat is salad and 
broccoli all day.

This is a dinner I prepared...I didn't plan it....I just used what was in the frig.

Portobello mushrooms in a red wine reduction served over a 
roasted poblano pepper, 
creamed (cashew cream with my home grown herbes de provence seasoning), 
fresh carrots and corn topped with caramelized whole sage leaves, 
stuffed artichoke bottoms served over a bed of braised balsamic vinegar arugula, grilled tofu slice, grilled avocado 
and a slices of roasted acorn squash.





I have not eaten animals for decades now...recently (in the last two years) I adopted a plant based diet and I must say that it has inspired and enhanced my cooking and my approach about how I think about flavors and textures. When you use only fresh (& organic) ingredients the end results
can only be amazing.
