| Roasted Cauliflower Steak ~ This was really good. It's a bit tricky to cut the cauliflower into a steak that will stay together, but just take your time. It makes an impressive display when you cut it right. I cut it in half horizontally & had good luck. You can get a couple of good slices that way, just work your way out from the first middle cut. Don't worry if it doesn't cut quite right, it will still taste great! | | |
I'm a Flirt! Want to know what you are? Then go get a copy of Alicia Silverstone's vegetarian lifestyle/vegan cookbook ~
The Kind Diet. My local library had a copy, so I checked it out. I liked it so much I bought a copy for myself. Alicia has written an engaging book about the
vegetarian lifestyle that is interesting & easy to read. It gets you thinking about the daily choices we all make in regards to eating & living. She makes a compelling argument for the vegetarian lifestyle & eating vegan ~ without sounding superior or preachy. I appreciate that. She graciously welcomes us into her home & shares her ideas in a sincere & thoughtful way. This is much more than just a cookbook, it is a kind & gentle road map for our journey in life. Read it for yourself & you'll see what I mean. I'm sure you'll be as charmed as I was by what she has to say. Even if a vegetarian/
vegan lifestyle is not for you, her book is still full of information that we can all benefit from.
I've made about a dozen recipes so far & have enjoyed them all. I don't think of them as 'vegan recipes', I just see them as recipes for dishes I'd like to eat. I'm looking forward to making more dishes from her cookbook & since Spring is just around the corner, I'm sure I'll find much to tempt me. Now, I don't think I will ever get beyond being a
Flirt, but it is nice to know there is a guidebook out there that I can relate to if I ever decide I want to be a
Super Hero. When you read her book... you'll get that statement. :) Check out her website ~

| Baby Bok Choy with Sesame Vinaigrette ~ So good tasting & good for you, too. These
make a tasty dish & cook up in minutes. I just used apple cider
vinegar, since that is what I had on hand. Be flexible, if you can't find a certain ingredient ~ just use something similar. |
 |
| Maple Roasted Louts Root Chips ~ The original recipe also called for lotus roots, leeks & sunchokes, but I only used the lotus root ~ the market was all out of the other veggies in the recipe. The lotus roots are such a beautifully exotic veggie. I just love the lacy designs they make when you slice them. They are surprising tasty & in this recipe they are savory, yet sweet. I could see these becoming addicting. |
