There are many ways to make vegan apple cake, and each country has its style and recipe. Here, we make one inspired by our favorite Italian apple cake. It’s a family recipe and one of our favorite apple desserts.You can enjoy this apple cake for breakfast (that’s what Italians do), as an afternoon snack, as a dessert, with ice cream, or drizzled with our vegan custard.The cake is easy to put together, soft, moist, and made with fresh apple chunks....
What is a vegan pound cake? Originally, a pound cake is a recipe that dates back to the 1700s and it’s called pound cake because it was made with one pound each of flour, sugar, butter, and eggs. While we tried to stay true to the taste and texture of the original recipe, our vegan chocolate pound cake doesn’t contain any eggs, milk, or dairy.I made my first vegan pound cake with lemon flavor....
So, when I was craving some cookie dough ice cream last weekend, I came up with this quick solution. Using banana soft serve as the base, which doesn’t require an ice cream maker, it’s practically instant! The vegan cookie dough chunks are also easy to prepare, though you might want to make them in advance for a firmer texture. I chose to make this cookie dough date-based, to make a completely fruit-sweetened treat (minus the optional chocolate chips), though you could also use my Vegan Paleo Cookie Dough recipe if you prefer, depending on which ingredients are more convenient for you....
While fajitas are normally cooked in a skillet on the stovetop, sheet pan fajitas require much less effort. Just add everything to a pan and let them roast to perfection. As the vegetables cook, you’ll have time to prepare a batch of bean dip and creamy cilantro sauce, which takes the flavor over the top. Ingredients You’ll Need Portobello mushrooms give this recipe a meaty texture, without using animal products....
About this time of the year, I usually find myself thumbing through my copy of Jamie Oliver’s Great Britain, trying to get reacquainted with all things British. A few weeks ago, I found myself bookmarking a recipe called “Mighty Mulligatawny.” It was a beautiful chunky stew, but I what attracted me most to the recipe was its name. I have yet to figure out how to pronounce “mulligatawny,” or spell it properly for that matter....
About two months ago, I attended a talk about food photography at IFBC, and it got me thinking about my creative process with my photos. There were two messages I got from that talk: (1) food anywhere and (2) making the ordinary beautiful. For me (and for many other food bloggers), I take photos in a very controlled environment: around my apartment, shooting with natural light (usually by the lone window in the living room), sometimes using a white foam board to reduce shadows in the photo, sometimes using a diffuser or a bed sheet to soften the light on the food....

I’m so excited to share this copycat Misi Whipped Ricotta Toast recipe with my fellow New Yorkers and Misi lovers! The first time I ever had whipped ricotta crostinis was at Misi in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Fortunately for me, the friend I went with is a psychopath that doesn’t like cheese so all three slices were mine. Unfortunately for me, getting to Williamsburg on the L train is an absolute pain and getting a reservation at Misi is even worse....
This post is sponsored by Instant Pot While some other blenders can cook food through friction, meaning that they blend for so long that the ingredients eventually heat up, the Ace Blender actually has a heating element to cook your food— so not everything that gets cooked has to have a perfectly smooth, pureed texture. (Though it can do that, too.) What also excites me about the blender is that the pitcher is made of glass....
If you’ve seen Kashmiri Chili Powder in Indian recipes, you’ve probably wondered what it is and if you should bother adding it to your spice cabinet. Or better yet, how can you substitute Kashmiri chilis with another variety of chilis that’s more widely available? As someone that goes through 1-2 pounds of Kashmiri mirch a year, it’s become a staple in my kitchen for good reason. These chilis are a complex citrusy, smoky flavor and lightly sweet while adding only a mild amount of heat to any dish....
(How is this year flying by so quickly?!) Rather than tackling a massively restrictive challenge, like cutting out all sugar, or eating only raw foods, or exercising twice a day, I prefer to take a more moderate approach to change, and I’d encourage you all to do the same. Permanent change takes time, and if you do too much, too fast, you’re doomed to rebound! For years, I suffered on a “diet roller coaster,” where I was either on a diet or I wasn’t–and when I wasn’t, I was diving head-first into every food that had been temporarily off-limits to me!...
