After a few nights roughing it, a self-care day in San Diego. It started with Split Bakehouse, an all-vegan bakery I was really looking forward to. It’s inside a food court in a mall, but the food court has a bunch of dediacted vegan eateries. That is vegan friendly! Take Read more…

The Terri folks opened up a fancy pants eatery in Times Square, P.S. Kitchen. And the all-vegan menu has plenty of delicious options to which words don’t really do justice. But the thousand words of a picture may help. So let’s look at the pretty, colorful plates. The Fennel Tartine Read more…

Everything in Jackson, Wyoming revolves around the Tetons. And proving this, I spent my day finding a variety of ways and circumstances in which I could see the Tetons. Starting at the crack of dawn. The striking hues of a beautiful sunrise can do pretty fantastic things to the sky, so I knew Read more…

There are many things I enjoy about omusubi, Japanese rice balls with goodies within. They are handheld, small, and contain the flavor punch of an entire meal… and, lastly, they are not a meal. I had a dinner reservation on the horizon, after all. At Hanamizuki, a pretty cafe near Read more…

I went to Dirt Candy back in 2012 when they were a tiny, dark, bustling space. Sadly, the tiny, dark, bustling space was all I could remember years later. But now–Dirt Candy is in a much, much larger space. It was quiet and relaxed on our Tuesday evening visit. There Read more…

Almost time to head back east! So I started the day with a donut, a Pepples Donut. The Ferry Building has a market place with high-brow eats, and this Oakland-based all-vegan donut maker has a little outpost there. The selection was extensive. I choose the salted caramel (well-recommended) and skipped Read more…

I never really spent much time in San Francisco. As a reporter of vegan food all about this great country, why wouldn’t I have spent more time in the very veg-friendly Bay Area? It just didn’t sit right with me. No need to fret. The Electrician and I have headed west Read more…

Sometimes you just want to spend the entire day in the kitchen and the entire night in the dining room eating and giggling with friends. It was time for a Winter Dins vegan victuals dinner party. For starters, “Deviled” Polenta Yukon Golds. Rye, Kale & Eggplant Dressing with toasted Pepitas Fennel, Read more…

Fields and fields of corn. This is what’s inside the heart of the heartland. After hours of fields of corn, I was back in the Motor City area to sample some vegan eats. Lunch, finally was at Inn Season Cafe in Royal Oak. They have a promising brunch menu they only serve Read more…

I left the bustle of Frankfurt by way of a double decker diesel train. Thankfully day 2 of my train adventure did not involve elbowing anyone in the head. It did, however, involve my missing a key transfer point. Thanks to the collective efforts of amused fellow passengers, it was Read more…

It seems like eons ago that Ms. CP sent me a link to chocolatier Lagusta’s (of Lagusta’s Luscious fame) savory dinner series. Since then I have been occasionally pouring over the menu highlights of our reserved Summer in Paris dinner. What can be better than being served 8-12 (!!) high-end, all-vegan Read more…

As we begin to tilt towards the sun and sunrise coincides to my morning train, I get to see fantastic colors in the sky. More beautiful things: Golden beets. Broccoli florets are sprouting up in my garden! I’m very excited. Fennel. I’ve never worked with you before. Fennel and citrus Read more…

The regular menu at Pawtucket’s Garden Grille, a vegetarian restaurant north of downtown Providence, was wholly promising. I very much looked forward to dining there, the most asterisked entry of my Providence hit-list. But in town for heart-day, we would feast on their special 5-course prix fixe menu designed exclusively Read more…

Mighty O of Seattle. The best vegan donuts I’ve tried so far. Granted I have yet to hit any other solely vegan donut shop, I can’t see anyone having a more superior real donut than Mighty O. I got the glazed all the way to the left. So good. FoodSparrow Read more…

Green 2240 N Scottsdale Rd # 8 Tempe, AZ 85281 (480) 941-9003 This adorable 100% vegan cafe seemed to congregate hipsters from Arizona’s woodwork (different hipsters, ones that smile at you) and rightfully so! Their “new American vegetarian” menu was jam-packed with options ranging from soup/sandwich-y to Asian-infused bowls to Read more…
