You requested a Scarpaccio and we delivered, one of my favorite new dishes and a perfect replacement for the Christmas frittata. We brought back an early tradition of mine and baked grapefruits topped with date powder and cinnamon…sweet, sour, and juicy. Our big savory dish was the Tofu & Tempeh Hash that is full of so much flavor, another request from several of our viewers. Enjoy these holiday recipes all year long!

  • 155 - Hot Pot
  • Enjoy an exciting cooking experience as well as a warming meal with Hot Pot! This cooking method involves adding fresh veggies, tofu, and more to a simmering broth. We made a flavorful Thai Chili Broth that has the perfect amount of heat using our homemade Thai Red Chili Paste. But if you prefer that earthy, umami flavor, then you need to prepare our Creamy Shiitake Broth. Whichever broth or vegetables you decide to add to your hot pot, you will have a tasty and entertaining meal!

  • Episode 150 - Ethiopian Cuisine
  • Ethiopian is one of our favorite cuisines, and although many dishes are naturally vegan, they are always full of oil. After years of requests, we made four delicious Ethiopian dishes totally free of salt and oil. Messer Wot is a simple red lentil dish with earthy berbere seasoning that you can serve over rice, potatoes, or traditional injera like we did on the show. Goman is a must try: collard greens sautéed with ginger and garlic. We also made Fasolia, full of filling starches like potatoes, green beans, and carrots with a tomato base. Do you love turmeric? Our Tikil Gomen has a boatload as well as cabbage, potatoes, and carrots. Enjoy!

  • Episode 149 - Reebs' Birthday
  • This celebratory spread might have been for Reebs' Birthday, but you should make these recipes year 'round! We kicked off the festivities with a savory Potato Waffle Bar, complete with the most delectable Greek and Latin toppings. First we prepared a Greek version of pico that we coined Greeko de Gallo. In the oven was a Roasted Cauliflower Sheet Pan that paired so well with the other Greek toppings, especially the creamy Hummus. Then for a Latin spin we prepared our famous Mexican Charro Beans along with a smooth Nacho Cheese Sauce. Of course we whipped up a traditional Pico de Gallo for this one. We topped both versions of the potato waffles with Reebs' Sautéed Shrooms, a delicious and smoky addition. To end the show, Reebs blew out her birthday candles on a Frango Mint Pie that was oh, so decadent!
