Unchartered Territory: Vegan Doughnuts

Sounds like a damn horrible idea, right? Let's be honest, most of our ideas about vegan food include the word horrible and often hit the metaphorical nail right on it's head.

No eggs? Ridiculous.

No dairy? Blasphemous.

No animal, no FUN.

Tomatoes and Potatoes

It's less boring than it sounds. My trusty associates and I decided to embark on an adventure of epic proportions for this week's culinary delight: Gnocchi.

Topped with Tomato-Cream sauce and Arugula. Major noms!

Rice is nice...

...but liquor is quicker! Today, you get the best of both worlds with some tasty Saffron and Squash Risotto. A touch above easy but nothing too complicated, with a very comforting and creamy result:

I had this all by itself (a horrid thought to you raging carnivores out there) with a lovely glass of wine. Beringer Pinot Noir, if you must know. I don't know if you're supposed to have risotto with red, white, or grappa, but this sounded tasty.

Ides of March Calls for...Caesar!

Salad, that is. I know the Ides have passed, but that doesn't make this salad any less tasty. Plus, it's another easy recipe that is sure to impress even the most mentally-deficient of your friends. After all, we Italians are always impressive.

Proper British Grub: Lemon Curd

I know, people. It's been about six weeks since my last post, and I'm sure you're all suffering from the loss of my witty diatribes. But try and put yourselves in my shoes-- I haven't eaten since that damn gumbo! It's been rough. But what better way to wrangle myself out of this pity party than with a nice, comforting batch of....

Lemon curd?

Yes, by Jove! Lemon curd! For those of you without British grandmothers (apologies for what must have been a dull and love-less upbringing) or who are victims of just sheer ignorance, you should know that this curd, this lovely curd, is one of the most beloved treats of yours truly.

Why should you care? Because this is my blog and I say so, that's why.
