Avocado toast is one of those dishes that is now forever cemented into American food culture. Like chips and guacamole or hummus and pita – it’s safe to say that a simple piece of toasted bread topped with flavorful veggie options has had a moment. My carrot toast spin on avocado toast is no different. […]
Delicata squash is an often overlooked option, but it’s actually the easiest squash to cook and has a delicious subtly sweet flesh. To prepare Delicata, all you need to do is clean, remove seeds, slice and roast. The skin is tender enough to eat without the need to peel. Winter squash contain beta carotene, fiber, […]
If you’re eating a whole foods, plant-based diet I don’t believe that anything needs to be off-limits or categorized as a “cheat” meal. With balance and intentional eating, having dessert is perfectly fine. I love to serve this flourless dark chocolate cake when guests come over. It’s simply beautiful and just the right amount of […]

Buffalo cauliflower is the most in-demand item at the Erewhon deli bar and is popping up on menus all over town as a vegetarian/vegan option. I love the idea of combining those spicy sauce flavors with a creamy ranch made from Greek yogurt and served alongside a bunch of veggies. This salad is easy to […]
I love pumpkin, only you won’t find me indulging in those artificial pumpkin spiced gimmicks of the season. Pumpkin in its intended form is quite different, savory and delicious. I find myself using it more for main meals and less for desserts. In addition to richness, texture, and flavor it lends to soup, pumpkin is loaded […]
The poached pear is a quintessential dessert and one that makes a statement without much fuss. It also just happens to be vegan & gluten free by nature without the need for much more. I’ve made it one of my go-to’s for entertaining because it’s easy to prepare in advance. Not a single person will […]
