Recipe Testing: Sesame Wow Greens

Here’s another vegan recipe I tested for Terry Hope Romano’s upcoming international cookbook. So far, I’ve tried her fresh noodle soup in sesame miso broth, ginger marinated cucumbers, pumpkin potato panko cutlets, as well as her spicy kale coconut relish. This time I tested another one of her Japanese-inspired dishes – oshitashi, a Japanese spinach [...]

I’ve been doing some recipe testing for Terry Hope Romano’s upcoming vegan cookbook, Vegan Eats World, which will feature a collection of international recipes. Previously I posted about her recipe for fresh noodle soup in sesame miso broth and it was delicious. Here is a peek into another one of her recipes. This one is [...]

Testing The Cookplus Vitamin Wok With A Swiss Chard Apples Recipe

The newest addition to my cookware collection is the Cookplus Vitamin 11-inch Wok from Lock&Lock. This aluminum wok has a vibrant red exterior and a non-stick interior coating. It is pretty light, but also seems quite durable. I decided to test it out with a sauteed dish – Swiss Chard With Apples.

Vegan savory crepes with sauteed peppers

Posted by Cindy Waffles on July 8, 2010 · 1 Comment

I have always been a huge fan of crêpes. It’s one of my favorite things to eat in street fairs. Crêperies and crêpe trucks are fun too! Usually I order sweet crêpes – banana and nutella – but savory crêpes can be delicious too. Crêpes are so awesome because you can get really creative with [...]
