I HAVE BEEN A CHEF AND A TEACHER ALL MY LIFE. THROUGH BATTLING AN AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE, I DISCOVERED that food can heal you, BODY AND SOUL.
Whole Roasted Cauliflower
Make this cauliflower as the main dish or an appetizer for dinner parties or weeknight meals!
Curried Vegetable Chips
This is one of those recipes you’re going to want to memorize and make time and time again. Whenever I bring out a bowl of these golden, crispy butternut squash veggie chips, my guests go crazy for them.
Beet Salad with Tahini
Salt crusting is easy and add so much flavor! If you have not salt crusted anything before this is a great way to start.
This recipe is fantastic for a party as it many be made ahead of time and travels well.
Okonomiyaki
Eating a variety of vegetables daily is always a goal. Vegetable pancakes is one of the easier ways I have found to do this, so a couple times a week I make these and other kinds of vegetable pancakes using an assorted mix of thinly chopped organic vegetables. Make these any size you like! The leftover are delicious right our of the fridge or heat them up again and top with the gingery sauce.
Red Lentil Hummus
This recipe comes from a cookbook that I have been diving into lately. Most cookbooks I find these days don’t spike my interest level as they are missing soul. Not Cannelle et Vanille! You will enjoy Aran’s red lentil hummus recipe. Chickpeas are harder for me to digest so, for now, I have switched to red lentils and cooked vegetables for my hummus fix. I recommend this book to all my clients!
Believe it or not, this is what I ask my husband to make me every birthday. They are easy to make as everything goes into the food processor and then rolled into balls. If you prefer because of time you can always just roll them in cocoa powder instead of the melted chocolate.
