Thai Cooking: Creamy Tom Yam Kung

@Irene, tom kha is what you make with coconut milk. This one has milk or half and half which makes it creamy tom yum, not tom kha. I have never had this. My family is Isaan and we make tom yum and tom kha, but this is new to me! Thanks!

Vegan: 2 Ways To Eat Kale, Chickpeas, and Sumac-Marinated Onions

I love kale & chickpeas! One of my winter staples is a wilted kale & chickpea salad with lemon-tahini dressing. I adapted it from this Gourmet recipe, which is also awesome, but not vegan. And subbing chickpeas for the potatoes makes me feel so virtuous.

The Vegan Experience, Day 5: Say No To Faux

Kenji,
I am sad about the diss on seitan! We seem to see eye-to-eye on most things, food-related, but give wheat (gluten) a chance. Granted, I've never had any of the pre-made stuff, but the stuff I make is great. I use Bob's Red Mill gluten if I'm in a hurry. I add nutritional yeast, soy and some other goodies and braise it for a long time in a mushroom (shiitake, cremini, dried morels if I have some on hand) broth. SO GOOD! I usually slice it and bread it for chicken-fried gluten steaks & make gravy out of the broth. You could probably use the same recipe for an old shoe and it'd still taste good though.

I think someone else may have said this, but almost all the Morningstar Farms products that taste okay (Grillers, Chik patties, Sausage) have egg white/egg protein in them and are not vegan.

I love this column. I was vegan for years, macrobiotic for two, vegetarian for 15 and now a proud conscious omnivore for three years. Living in NYC definitely made it easy!

Where to Eat Vegan in New York

Haven't been in a few years, but Kate's Joint was always a fave. Delicious vegan hot wings and caesar salad. They also had a devil's food cake that was the biz. I also love Angelica Kitchen because rice, gravy and greens remind me of my childhood, hippy co-op food.
I love anything with yuba in it from Souen. I know the original Veggie Castle closed down, but I hear the II is still in business? I love me some vegan beef patties.
Oh and, brunch at Quantum Leap.

Horchata

the pic shows the almonds and rice steeping before blending. that's the way i've always made it, but the recipe says blend the almonds and rice & then steep everything. any pros/cons to either method?
