This recipe for mung bean soup is good by the standards of Ayurvedic medicine. Soaked overnight, rinsed and cooked for an hour and a half until it descended to more cream than bean. I had most of the ingredients, although come to think of it I don’t know how much dried bean I used. (Used [...]
What we have here: onion, garlic, carrot, celery, green pepper, green beans cooked first in water and veggie bouillon with some vegetarian Worcester sauce, umboshi vinegar, thyme, chervil, and pepper added.

In rush times, food cooks itself. In the sense of throw roots into the oven. Sweet potatoes, candy cane beets, red beets and a winter squash. When [...]
