Pepperidge Farm puff pastry is one of those accidentally vegan food products, like Oreos, unfrosted Pop-Tarts, and Hershey's chocolate syrup. No, it's not exactly healthy, but I think it's totally fine in moderation--and especially when it's used to give a big, warm, flaky-pastry hug to veggie ...
Pasta with Hummus and Tomatoes
Have you noticed that I've been putting smoked paprika in everything lately? I'm kind of obsessed with it. I just stocked up at Despana, this amazing Spanish market near my work. My entire office is moving next week from our beautiful Soho loft to…right near Penn Station. Before we go, we're all ...
Butternut Squash Rounds with Hazelnut-Apple Gremolata

Walnut Rosemary Polenta Cakes
When we lived in Brooklyn, sometimes on my way home from work I would stop at this fancy gourmet shop not too far from the subway. They had unbelievable prepared foods, with unbelievable prices to match. I'll never forget the time their sidewalk sign advertized a special: "Buy 9 sandwiches and get ...
Two Potato Latkes
When I switched to a mostly vegan diet, one of my primary goals was to put plant-based dinners into regular rotation. I felt like I had slipped into a completely meat-dependant way of cooking. Every time I made a grocery list, I would think about the days ahead and whether we would have chicken, ...
