Vegan Sicilian Sweets

On Sunday, March 6th, I co-hosted a tasting of authentic vegan Sicilian sweets, as well as savory food, that just happened to be vegan. I had a great time veganizing some traditional Sicilian desserts. The pistachio paste was already vegan, which is often the case with Italian foods. Thanks to Gretchen and Pascale of Tierno Tours, we also […]

Vegan Lunch at V Street

My daugher Tracy went to graduate school in Philadelphia, and I used to visit her regularly. Because she and I like to cook together, plus she had a lot of studying to do, we mostly ate at her home. I do regret though, that in those days of frequent visits, I never got to Rich Landau and Kate Jacoby’s famed restuarant […]
