When I was in my awkward early teen years, I used to go to this gym in my town called Body Techniques. This was in the mid-90's, and it showed. The walls were decorated with pink and teal heartbeat lines, like the kind you'd see on a heart rate monitor, and half the gym was devoted to a windowed ...
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, ...
Emergency Vegan Pasta with Garlic, Chili, and Breadcrumbs

I ate many, many of her homemade spinach and cheese samosas, and they were worth every single bite. A few days later my parents came over for an early ...
Vegan Mushroom Pot Pie
Since I live with two guys who eat a lot more meat than I do, often times I'll make three things for dinner: a salad, a hearty vegetable "side", and baked salmon or chicken. Then I'll just have the salad and vegetables. Don't worry--I'm not subsisting on rabbit food. I'm talking about hearty dishes ...
Roasted Tomato-Garlic Confit
I worked as an assistant cookbook editor for a major publishing house for three years, and during that time I acquired a lot of cookbooks. They were heaped under my desk at the office (next to another equally large and unsettling pile of "work" shoes), and stacked in my apartment on the coffee ...
Sweet Potatoes with Spicy Peanut Sauce
This recipe makes me feel old. I remember first seeing it in print in Cooking Light, all the way back in 2006. I was a recent college grad then, and I made dishes like this all the time because 1) sweet potatoes are cheap and 2) I always had a jar of peanut butter on hand. I doubt I even realized it ...
