raw macaroons




The best vegan macaroons I've ever had, made simply by dehydrating a mixture of cashews, coconut, lemon zest and juice, and agave nectar.

mofongo




Plantains mashed with garlic and margarine, topped with fried tofu, with a side of grilled veggies (onions, carrots, peppers, artichoke hearts). The chef in this little tapas restaurant in San Juan, Puerto Rico, made this specially after finding out that I was vegan.

Soba 2 ways




Quick dinner idea: Boil some soba noodles and add some veggies (snow peas, edamame) for the last minute of cooking. Drain and rinse, then mix with miso broth and tofu cubes for a soup, or toss with tamari and rice vinegar and sprinkle with some furikake (nori flakes, sesame seeds, salt, and sugar) for noodles.
