Means “It’s very tasty” in Hindi…or something to that effect. Forgive me for possibly butchering both spelling and meaning but it is what I’ve been taught to say since arriving…and I use this phrase about 10 times a day. Am I in heaven? Writing about the joys of veggie-voyaging in India is like shooting fishContinue reading “achchha lagta hai!”

Food & Friends
fun with seagulls That’s what it’s all about, right? Gathering together, drinking wine, preparing dishes side by side, sharing stories. Making connections and building relationships through something that we all love and need, food. No matter where you live or who you are, food is bound to be a common tie, a place to beginContinue reading “Food & Friends”
A Delicious Day in Istanbul
We have a very limited time here in Turkey, and an even more limited time in Istanbul. Certainly not enough time to dig our teeth into the nitty-gritty details of the culinary wonders, nor enough time to befriend people, go into their homes, and learn their recipes and ways. This is disappointing to me butContinue reading “A Delicious Day in Istanbul”
Merhaba!
the blue mosque Well, here we are in Istanbul! I don’t have any recipes for you yet, but I thought I’d check in. It was a rough flight for me. Halfway through the 12 hour ordeal, I started to feel really crappy, and 24 hours later I still don’t feel right. I have been spendingContinue reading “Merhaba!”
V-10 Juice: Hangover Helper?
I’d like to apologize for not being a super blogger lately. Although off to a good start, with no plans of slowing down, it is difficult for me in these last days of preparing for my next veggie voyage to cook, take notes, photograph food, etc. Or even to find time to write about myContinue reading “V-10 Juice: Hangover Helper?”
Inspired by Pad Thai
I love a good pad thai…but it’s something I’ve never made at home until a few days ago. I had the noodles, but not the usual gamut of veggies that you see in pad thai: bean sprouts, bok choi, peanuts. Nor did I have eggs or the requisite tamarind paste. I did, however, possess redContinue reading “Inspired by Pad Thai”
Celeriac-Potato Mashup
Ah, celeriac. It’s as if potato and a celery fell in love and had a baby. This funny looking root vegetable is crunchy and ugly and tastes kinda celery-like. We discovered its wonders when we were on the raw food road. My (and Ryan’s) hands down favorite way to prepare celeriac is as a rawContinue reading “Celeriac-Potato Mashup”
Nkatiekonto & Omotuo (Groundnut Soup & Riceballs)
groundnut soup & riceballs: veggie voyager style Here is a favorite recipe from Ghana. It is one of the more famous foods of the region, with good reason: it’s delicious! Nkatiekonto is most commonly found on Sundays at chop bars (small street-side restaurants), especially in the bigger towns and cities. It is also prepared frequentlyContinue reading “Nkatiekonto & Omotuo (Groundnut Soup & Riceballs)”
Penne Rosé
The unabbreviated title of this dish might be “Vegan, Gluten & Soy Free Penne Rosé with Mushrooms, Cauliflower & Chard”. For me, it is the pinnacle of comfort food. I am eating it as I write and it is deeeeelicious. About two years ago, I deduced that I am allergic to most soy products. PriorContinue reading “Penne Rosé”
Green Lemonade
While I am on the subject of ‘getting your greens’, here is a drink that feels and tastes like an elixir for youth and vitality. The recipe belongs to Natalia Rose, author of “The Raw Food Detox Diet“. This book is a great introductory read into the whys and hows of the raw food diet.Continue reading “Green Lemonade”
