Spicy Parsnip Soup

If Biscotti and a Scottish Oat Cake had a love child

Vegan chocolate chip cookies. The first batch to the oven I overcooked and rolled too thick so they stayed a dense cake that didn’t crisp. They were ok but decidedly unexciting. (Those are at the back there.) I added some ingredients to help it. And rolled it thinner as the recipe said: 1/8″ to 1/4″ [...]

Grilled Ginger Broccoli

( All andRecipes andVeggies )

We’re doing pretty well on the produce bin. Man, but that’s a whackload of broccoli to do something with. What next?

I subbed in some veggies I had. I was surprised at how fluffy the texture was. I don’t understand the [...]

Bitter Melon, 2nd Base

( Recipes )

Ok, pickled it, drained and chilled it overnight. It is biteable now. Risotto seemed the best bet. It has the starch and the spice to balance remaining bitterness. it cooks in about half an hour. I started with Curried Bitter Melon Risotto from a Boston Bistro but not knowing what I’m doing should be no [...]
