Vegan: Crispy Potato, Onion, and Mushroom Rösti
Crispy and golden brown on the outside, creamy and tender in the middle with some good garlicky mayo (aïoli, if you will) for dipping in, the key to a really great rösti is twofold.The Vegan Experience Day 18: The Improvisers And The Tinkerers
I often get asked where ideas for the recipes I write come from, and it's an interesting question to me. For the most part, I think that the world of chefs and recipe developers can be divided into two major camps based on the way they operate. I'll call them the Improvisers and the Tinkerers, the Mozarts and the Beethovens, the Intelligent Designers and the Evolutionists, if you will.The Vegan Experience, Day 17: That's Really Good... For Vegan Food.
The thing that bothers me is the implied notion that vegetarian/vegan food is vegetarian/vegan first, and food afterwards, and once you've outed yourself as a vegan, that attitude seems to follow you wherever you go. Coming from an omnivore cook, this would have just been another good sandwich. But coming from a vegan cook, it's a vegan sandwich.Vegan: Smoky Charred Cauliflower and Potato Soup with Kale
The Portuguese soup of caldo verde (literally "green broth") is about as simple as it gets when it comes to vegetable soups, yet its simplicity is the key to its comforting success. At its most basic, starchy potatoes are simply simmered with onions and kale until the kale is tender and flavorful, the onions have melted into the broth, and the potatoes completely disintegrate, thickening the soup into a rich, thick stew. My goal here isn't to replicate the original but to riff off it and come up with something equally tasty (and more vegan).The Vegan Experience Days 14, 15, and 16: The Wife Effect
My wife's actually got it easy. I pack her lunches that fit her general food preferences—arugula and squash soup, for instance—she eats more of the same when she eats at home with me, but since she's not staying 100% vegan/vegetarian, she's not above, say, heading out for a shared Chinese feast with her colleagues—something which I unfortunately can't take part in.The Food Lab: The Best Vegetarian Bean Chili
Why does vegetarian chili get such a bum rap? Beans can taste good in chili. Tomatoes can taste good in chili. Heck, even pork and tomatillos can taste good in chili. So why shouldn't we be able to make a completely meatless version that tastes great as well? My goal this week is to create a 100% vegan chili recipe that has all of the deep chili flavor, textural contrast, and rib-sticking richness that the best chili should have.The Vegan Experience, Day 13: The Halfway Mark
The question I keep asking myself is whether or not it's really the veganism that has led to my weight loss. Would any shift in diet affect the same end result? I'm guessing yes: the vast majority of my weight loss is due to a huge cutback in my tasting and snacking.Vegan: Noodle Stir Fry? Reverse The Ratios
Cut way back on the noodles and add a whole slew of vegetables. That's exactly what I did here. Instead of noodles, the base of the dish is stir-fried bok choy (cooked in a super-heated cast iron wok to get some nice, smoky wok hei into it) along with flowering chives, Chinese chives, and leeks in a savory fermented black bean and soy-based sauce. The noodles are still great—perfect for adding a bit of textural and flavor contrast—but now their ratio is more akin to the marshmallows in the Rice Krispies.The Vegan Experience Day 12: This Is What Happens When I'm Too Busy To Cook
With minutes to go and another long, dark meeting ahead of me, I did the unthinkable: I pulled out a pre-fab frozen vegan pizza from the fridge, tossed it in the toaster oven, and—gulp—ate it.Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
