Thai bouillabaisse

September 15, 2011

I always ordered this dish when eating out at the Thai Pavilion restaurant in Astoria, Queens, my favorite Thai place when we lived in New York. There they called it Potek. It was this clear aromatic and spicy broth with loads of fish and shellfish. After moving to San Francisco, I learned to make it [...]

baked Portobello mushrooms stuffed with mushroom oat tomato filling with walnuts, Fontina and parmesan

November 5, 2010

Like mushroom and pink bean loaf, this recipe also comes from The Best – Ever Vegetarian Cookbook by Nicola Graimes. The picture in the book looked as appetizing as the mushroom loaf, so I decided to give it a try as well. Lately, Steven’s been kind of complaining we don’t eat enough mushrooms, especially, he [...]

This recipe was adapted from The Best – Ever Vegetarian Cookbook by Nicola Graimes. I bought it recently while perusing a used bookshop in downtown Reno a couple of weeks ago.

spaghetti with tomato, chipotle in adobo, mushroom sauce

April 23, 2010

I’ve always struggled with chipotle in adobo simply because even if you use a tiny can, there are far more peppers than can easily fit in a single recipe. Since we don’t really think about it much, in the past, the remaining peppers have gone to waste. But that’s not a green practice, and we’re [...]

mushrooms with red quinoa

February 12, 2010

This is a simple to make dish that’s both nutritious and elegant. It makes a wonderful side dish. I served it with sautéd red snapper fillets in garlicky clam and mussel sauce. It’s as easy to make as rice. The color of the red quinoa is stunning and I think stimulates the appetite. Recently I [...]

spicy Thai vegetable soup for the soul

January 11, 2010

Steven and I both got hit with bad colds last weekend. We felt like crap with body aches, coughing, difficulty breathing… you get the picture. Ugh! While suffering miserably, by chance, I picked up the latest edition of Vegetarian Times. They’ve a recipe for a soup that sounded exactly like what we needed to get [...]

portobello mushroom tofu

October 22, 2009

I threw this dish together the other night to go with Hegui’s kimchi fried rice. We had these stunningly beautiful portobellos from Trader Joe’s. Our original plan was to stuff them but that didn’t seem to match well with the rice. Fortunately I had some Chinese bean sauce, spicy garlic sauce and a vegetarian mushroom [...]

poached king salmon spicy Thai tom yum soup

October 7, 2009

For our recent Thai-themed night, I made this fabulous tom yum soup to go with my almost vegetarian pad Thai. This soup has wonderfully fresh, spicy, sour, herbal and earthy flavors; and it’s incredibly easy to make. I learned the recipe in the 1990’s while living in UK. There I worked for a few months [...]

Harissa is a spicy chili paste commonly associated with Moroccan cooking but it is widely used all over North Africa. Harissa is made with hot chili peppers, sweet peppers, tomatoes, preserved lemons, olive oil, salt, cumin, caraway, coriander and other spices. The flavor may sometimes vary, depending on the brand you buy. When you taste [...]
