Roscoe’s Neapolitan Pizzeria, Takoma Park, Maryland

Takoma Park, which is just a short walk away from where I live in Washington DC, has got some great food. This time I walked to Roscoe’s Neapolitan Pizzeria to order from their all-vegan menu. It’s pretty extensive and offers many vegetal dishes and not just meat substitutes. First, an Read more…


Vegan Pan D’Arancio ๐ŸŠ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น
Sicilian Whole Orange Cake

Pan D’Arancio is a traditional Sicilian cake made with the region’s gems–oranges. Unique is that this cake uses the ENTIRE orange–peel, rind and segments. It’s traditionally free of dairy but has lots of eggs. I was so excited to find Rainbow Nourishment‘s vegan version to channel my Sicilian grandmother who Read more…


Lots of Vegan Food in Rochester, NY {Part 4}

Though many of these are repeats from previous visits, a second visit is a nice progression to developing reliability for cravings. Like the chocolate chip cookie from Balsam Bagels. Thick and just barely cooked like I like… And their breakfast bagel is also an easy pleaser There is not a Read more…


Leo Season ๐Ÿฆ

On birthday cake duty, it was an orange bundt cake. Admittedly, I wasn’t on my a-game, but still the cake was well-received. It had great flavor as I used fresh squeezed orange juice from a local juice spot as well as a bunch of orange zest. Glaze wasn’t thick enough Read more…


Finally, Sustenance
High End Vegan in Moab, Utah

After having spent 2 days munching on my road snacks, nary an eatery in sight, Moab’s Desert Bistro was going to be a splurge. And what a place to finally get some sustenance… Name two things I love about this pictures below. (Print upside down on the last page: 1) Read more…


Veggies for the Road ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’จ

Sunday’s produce delivery will not go to waste! Since freshness is difficult to get on the road, I prepared some snacks that will hopefully survive my cooler. Firstly, fruits with skins are generally good travelers. So apples, oranges, and plums are already prepped. But this huge beet would need some Read more…


Candied Orange Peel & Orange Simple Syrup

Except for the whole ‘eat the orange’ part, this is the same recipe for candying ginger. And like the ginger, the by-product of candying the orange peel is this gorgeous orange simple syrup. When I open my Bed & Breakfast, I am going have all of these syrup on hand Read more…


Orange & Blossoms: ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŠ
Mom’s Birthday Cake

Citrus cakes are great for winter birthdays. For one, citrus is in season and it’s so very delicious in its prime time. For two, the fresh zesty taste brings to mind warmer days of sunshine, the ones on the horizon. So it’d be another orange cake for another special winter Read more…


Orange You Glad You Bought ๐ŸŠ Juice, Part 2:
Mike’s Birthday Cake

That carton of orange juice made for a delicious citrus bundt for my brother’s birthday cake! And it was Vegan Richa‘s recipe (again!) that made it happen. I have some personal rules for baking that I don’t stray from: always real vanilla and never any other flavor extracts. With some Read more…


Orange You Glad You Bought ๐ŸŠ Juice, Part 1:
Treat Me Right Tofu

I’d rather eat my orange juice than drink it. So this week’s lunch is packed with its citrus goodness: Vegan Richa’s Orange Tofu. A double batch so I don’t have to make lunch after my upcoming week of travel. And on that front, let me throw in some perishables I Read more…


An Elevated Vegan Ambrosia for the Holidays๐ŸŽ„

I always bring cake. But this Christmas, I wanted to try a classic, kitschy Americana dish–Ambrosia. But I wanted to do it right. I made sour cream and marshmallow fluff from scratch and followed the traditional additions. I don’t know that my family will be up for the kitsch, sooo Read more…


Trees, Oranges, and Tamales

After a quick breakfast at Cafe Smitten in Bakersfield, California it would be time to see a third/fourth California national park: Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks. To start, a peanut butter and chocolate bar, real good black coffee, and National Park guidebooks. And a quick bite. The Vegan Burrito Read more…


Purging Drafts

Did you ever see someone’s inbox and realize that maybe you’re a bit neurotic about clearing your inbox? I don’t like when I have drafts just sitting around. So here, a blog post that has no theme or elaboration that fizzles out text-wise but still captures some of the yumminess Read more…


Time for the Beautiful Things

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…


Thanks.

I’d like to cook a proper Thanksgiving feast, but it’s not that simple unfortunately. It’d have to be a reheated prepared meal. And thankfully, that ain’t bad at all. With a Whole Foodsย near, it’s convenient enough. I ordered their Vegan Field Roast with an extra side of Brussels and popped Read more…


Refreshing Fruity Slushee

I like to add some sweet to a party, but it’s too hot to bake! And who really wants a piece of cake at a bar-be-que? I wanted something that could be made in advance, was nice and simple and… *cold*. A homemade slushy was just the thing. After scouring Read more…


Week’s End

Curdling almond milk. Cooling vanilla cupcakes. Cara cara, exposed. The princess, her sneer–real and plush–and the momma. Patty Day cupcakes Aerial on the cat table.


January Pantry Turnover

I miss my good camera, my SLR. While my baby is getting a preventative maintenance and cleaning, here we are. This ol’ point & shoot 6 mega-pixel is hardly the powerhouse it was years ago. And so in the midst of January Pantry Turnover, an annual purge of dry goods Read more…


What’s New: Food Update

There is a little Indian convenience store next to my Sunday restaurant favorite, Dosa Diner, in Hicksville, Long Island. In this store you can find a ton of cheaply priced pantry staples, many aligned with Hindu vegetarianism. It is worth a stopping by– their products are tremendously cheaper than the Read more…


The Real-Deal Vegan Brunch

On sunny Sunday, August 1, 2010, I found inspiration in the pages of The Electrician‘s omnivorous cook books as he manually labored in his yard. A proper vegan bunch! Complete with the works: traditional brunch staples, both sweet and savory, served on vintage China and vividly colored fabric with tasty Read more…


Vegan Days to Vegan Nights

It’s about time I got myself to Stogo, New York City’s all-vegan gourmet ice cream shop. To escape the debilitating heat and humidity, CandyPenny and I ducked into the East Village storefront’s huge people-watching windows to cool down with their soy, hemp and coconut-based frozen treats. Stogo has some wonderful Read more…

For my Pop’s birthday. 4. Weekending in the Hamptons. That’s an outdoor shower next to the “Love Shack”. 5. Seeing the Read more…


Happy Fatherโ€™s Day c/o Orange Glazed Scones

My family gets to try a lot of my goodies. I bet my this fact doesn’t excite them half as much as it excites me to have an opportunity to bake! For Father’s Day I knew I needed to switch up my usual offering of cupcakes to account for the Read more…


Z is for Zebra Cake

I don’t often bake whole cakes. My oven is situated right smack dab in the middle of the dramatic slope of my kitchen floor and my cakes come out of the oven slanted and enchanted, taking a heavy blow to presentation. But in light of fellow blogstress and dear friend Read more…


Vegan Mofo #21: Orange Pudding Cupcakes

There is a long coffee table in my folks’ house. The entire surface area of this table is covered with deep pools of Snickers miniatures, individually-wrappedย Hostess cakes and Little Debbie treats. This is all year round. It is enough to secure dentists, doctors and food scientists within their lucrative fields Read more…
