vegetarian bi-bim-bap

December 2, 2011

I’ve wanted to make bi-bim-bap at home forever but have always been put off by the amount of work involved. All that chopping, individually cooking everything then assembling the dish seemed monstrously time-consuming and a bit annoying. The bi-bim-baps I’ve had at Korean restaurants are all served in one of those really hot stone pots [...]

Mediterranean inspired tempeh sandwich

July 12, 2010

I made this sandwich last week because I wanted to use tempeh in a different way than deep-fried with Seventies brown sauce or with Southeast Asian flavors.

fresh zucchini pasta

July 7, 2009

The original has a can of tomatoes in the sauce with the zucchini added at the last minute. Hegui didn’t like [...]
