VeganMoFoV [9]: Roasted Radishes

    VeganMoFoV [9]: Roasted Radishes

    My new favorite thing is roasted or sauteed radishes.  It’s like the tastiest potato you ever had, but with a firmer texture and a more delicious flavor!  If the “bite” of a raw radish is too much for you, fear not, for this method really tames the spice, too. It’s the kind of delight that [...]

    Hush-Hush: 5 Courses

    Hush-Hush: 5 Courses

    I’ve posted about another secret restaurant before; this weekend we had our fourth since beginning almost a year ago.  So many in attendance asked me to blog about the food that I’m doing it before I forget what I made! Our amazing designer friend created a beautiful dining area for 24; three tables of 8, [...]

    Amazake and Friday's Lunch

    Amazake and Friday's Lunch

    Friday morning I woke up and pulled my amazake ferment out of the fridge, blended it with a bit of water and heated some with cinnamon and ginger.  Yum!  What a great start to the day.  For those not familiar with amazake, it is traditionally a sweet fermented rice drink, but can be made with [...]
