Vegans, Please Tell Your Story

Greek Gyros with Vegan Tzatziki Sauce

I have had these before, but I have just recently perfected a vegan Tzatziki sauce, which is traditionally yogurt based, to pour on this dish.

Vegan Spanish Rice with Tofu

Tangy, delicious and the perfect one pan meal. Spanish Rice is a favorite around my house. Recently I have perfected the Vegan version of it, as for many years it was made with cheese. Now cubes of sautéed tofu add proper nutrition and just the right texture. Best of all, it can be made in [...]

Vegan Achmed Larlene

Diced potatoes in a “creamy” celery sauce, baked to perfection with crispy bread crumbs on top. The name of this one have you scratching your head? A long time ago, back in the funky 80’s, my father was a Disc Jockey and he was doing a gig at a mansion. The host’s name was [...]
