Summer Rolls

These rolls require a little time and a little patience. I think they are worth it. The result is a flavor that is so fresh. A hint of mint, the crunchy juiciness of the sprouts, the bite of the chives all mix together to create something very special. 1 square (3.5 oz) baked tofu sliced…

Warm weather – cool food.

When the weather is warm we eat out on the terrace. Tonight’s menu: mesclun greens with carrot/ginger dressing; miso vegetable soup; summer rolls filled with sweet pea sprouts (that I sprouted myself), baked tofu, rice noodles, mint, chives (from our terrace garden) served with a spicy peanut sauce and maki with avocado mango and shitaki…

Tahini Wasabi Sauce

Spicy Peanut Sauce

I love this sauce, sweet, spicy and peanutty.  The peanut sauces in restaurants are too sugary for my palette.  So I make this easy recipe just the way I like it. 2 tablespoons unsalted peanut butter (creamy or chunky) 1/2 cup water 1 teaspoon to 2 Tablespoons maple syrup, agave or brown rice syrup (optional)…

Check out our newer SOS-free version, no salt, oil, sugar, or baking…

Apple Ginger Compote

Coconut Waffle: Gluten-Free

It’s amazing – sometimes the most creative ideas come from using up what’s left in the refrigerator. Coconut waffle topped with Apple Ginger Compote. Tropical flavors meet the waffle. We call it, the Traffle! 1/2 cup oatmeal flour or rolled oats ground into a flour 1 1/2 cups brown rice flour 1/2 cup ground flax…
