I’ve had David Chang’s Momofuku Cookbook for a couple of months now. It is a very good, fun read and the recipes look so porky and tasty. Ramen is where Chang got his start and I knew that’s the first thing I was going to make. The broth is, of course what makes a bowl [...]

VDP: Homemade Tofu
Posted in Green Vegetables, Pasta and Noodles, Tofu, Vegetarian Dinners Project (VDP) on March 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Monday, March 25, 2009 I tried making tofu a few months back and it was a total failure. I used Mark Bittman’s recipe from his vegetarian cookbook. He offers several options to curdle the soy milk and produce tofu including vinegar. I chose to use Epsom salt. It is used in a very small quantity [...]

Monday, March 16 , 2009 Easy and very tasty way to cook green zucchini courtesy of The River Cottage cookbook. I tossed in some mushrooms for good measure too.

Wednesday, August 20, 2008 Thai curry paste preparation is typically a bit complex. The number of items that go into the past can be huge, anything from dried shrimp to Kefir lime leaves to coriander roots. This one is a fairly simple one I improvised to make a quick weekday dinner. To make it faster [...]
VDP: Basil Gnocchi with Eggplant Sauce
Posted in Green Vegetables, Pasta and Noodles, Vegetarian Dinners Project (VDP), tagged Basil, Caponata, Eggplant, Gnocchi on August 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Thursday, August 13, 2008 Potato gnocchi can be lumpy, doughy, stodgy and heavy or they can be as they should be, soft fluffy pillows of goodness. I’ve made both types and learned from my mistakes. They key is to use cooked potatoes that are as dry as possible, to use as little flour as possible [...]
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: Pasta with Lentils
Posted in Legumes, Pasta and Noodles, Vegetarian Dinners Project (VDP) on March 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Friday, March 7, 2008 I am not sure why almost every pasta dish I’ve cooked in this project is Neapolitan or inspired by that region. Well, the next one won’t be. Promise. For now, we have the fantastic Pasta e Lenticchie (Pasta with Lentils). This is but one of the many Neapolitan pasta with legume [...]
