Friday, November 28, 2008 It’s been a while since I’ve added some updates to this particular journal. It’s not much due to laziness as much as redundancy. I’ve been trying to cook my vegetarian meals, but over the last month or so, I’ve not made many interesting or new dishes worth posting about. Also this [...]

VDP: Crespelle filled with Mushrooms and Ricotta
Posted in Dairy, Green Vegetables, Mushrooms, Pasta and Noodles, Vegetarian Dinners Project (VDP) on May 15, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Wednesday, May 14, 2008 Crespelle is the Italian word for crepes. Almost everyone knows what crepes are but not their Italian cousins. They can of course be made sweet or savory, but more often than not I’ve seen them as savory preparations. They are considered a form of pasta and served as such, as the [...]

Friday, March 28, 2008 We had a friend visiting from out of town, and she is a vegetarian. What better excuse to make a multi course dinner with no meat? Here is the line up. White bean and spring onion Soup with Green herb oil. Sauteed a bunch of spring onions and added cooked white [...]
VDP: Tofu, Asparagus and Mushroom Stir Fry
Posted in Green Vegetables, Mushrooms, Tofu, Vegetarian Dinners Project (VDP) on March 13, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Monday, March 10, 2008 Tofu is good when cooked right. I just never attempt to substitute it for a meat preparation. Crap like tofu dogs or tofu chili sound ridiculous and do not treat this product with the respect it deserves. I usually buy the soft tofu for almost any preparation. I love its smooth [...]
VDP: Potato Gratin with Braised Mushrooms

Saturday, February 2, 2008 Well, I had some mushrooms I needed to use up and I had to inaugurate my large Colombian clay baking dish. Supposedly, the casein in milk is very good for strengthening clay pottery and it’s a good idea to cook some milk in a clay pot before starting to use it. [...]
VDP: Vegetable Stock
Posted in Food, Green Vegetables, Mushrooms, Root Vegetables, Vegetarian Dinners Project (VDP) on January 20, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Cooking more vegetarian items means making sure I have a good supply of vegetable stock for stuff like soups. Making this brew could not be easier. The recipe I followed is from Bittman’s “How To Cook Everything Vegetarian“. A mixture of onions, potatoes, celery, carrots, parsley, garlic, mushrooms and a few drizzles of olive oil [...]

Saturday, January 12, 2008 If you do not know what burghul is, click here where I explained it once before. It really is a delicious and quick-cooking grain that can be cooked in many interesting methods or not at all. It can even be soaked for an hour, drained, flavored and eaten as is. This [...]
Real Men Don’t Eat quiche, they eat Quiche!
Posted in Baking, Breads and Pies, Dairy, Eggs, Food, Mushrooms, Pastry, Recipes on October 27, 2006 | 5 Comments »
“Real men don’t eat quiche”! Yeah, right, not when it is my quiche or should I say the Bouchon quiche. I really do not know where that reputation came from. Probably from the tiny dainty pieces of puff pastry painted with a substance that might’ve been egg at some point and frozen in boxes that [...]
