Some time ago ago I picked up a cold beer in a frosty mug on my kitchen counter and took a big gulp and immediately thought, oh man, this isn’t my beer. Except it was. Only Paul had accidentally bought a smoked beer instead of the pale ale I normally buy. My next thought, mere [...]

Tom Yam soup. I’ve always seen this soup referred to as Tom Yum, but our instructor and recipe booklet both call it Tom Yam, so that’s what I’m going with. If you find yourself in Chiang Mai and are looking for a great cooking class, let me suggest May Kaidee’s Thai vegetarian cooking class. The [...]

October! Good grief, time is flying by. As far as months go, I’m a pretty big fan of October. I like the cool but not-yet-too-cold weather, the earthy smell of fallen leaves mingled with smoke from fireplaces lit for the first time in months, and the fall harvest is still in full swing. I get [...]
baked zucchini fries

I’ve been wanting to get a zucchini recipe in before September becomes a memory, because I love zucchini, and because I know those of you who are lucky enough to have a place to grow things may be experiencing the zucchini overload that so often accompanies early autumn. I really wanted to do a zucchini [...]

Salads normally make an appearance as dinner in my home a few times a week. Not as a side dish or an accompaniment, but as the main event. I like to have my largest meal in the middle of the day, at a time where I’m (these days literally) running around and burning up those [...]
chickpea salad sandwich

Last year this time I talked about the sandwich system, so I thought now I’d help soften the back-to-school and back-to-work blues with a tasty vegetarian sandwich filling. I find that vegetarian sandwich options can be repetitive and I get tired of simple bread, veg, cheese combinations. I’m doing a lot of running around these [...]

Three weeks ago when I left Sweden for the Sunshine Coast of BC to marry off my sister, Emily, I made the decision to not lug my beast of a laptop with me. Though barely over two years old, my computer seems to me now like a clunky chugging station wagon; the kind with fake [...]

Back in April when Paul popped through Vancouver for a few days en route to a conference we had dinner with his parents one evening. Because it was Easter weekend, there was a ham. And pierogies. Because I am vegetarian and my in-laws always make sure there is enough for me to eat, there was [...]

On this recent post I wrote for Foodists I shared a recipe for grilled polenta. There was a comment was that grilled polenta seemed like a wonderful way to include vegetarians at a barbecue, and, reading it I thought, well yes, and no. Grilled polenta, while fun to make and eat and absolutely delicious, isn’t [...]

Hello July! Summer is certainly upon us, regardless of what the wildly fluctuating Stockholm weather may be doing. We’ve had some smoking hot days followed by some cool and rainy days. On the nice days we’ve been packing up some drinks and heading about four blocks north of our apartment to a spot we refer [...]
