Rouxbe Cooking School Holiday Sale

Fran Costigan's Zucchini Muffins with Pistachios

For many months prior to launching the inaugural Essential Vegan Desserts course on November 10th, I had the pleasure of working with Wicked Healthy chef Chad Sarno, and chef Ken Rubin (aka Kencyclopedia).

Vegan Brigaderios

Vegan Brigaderios

I was glued to the TV coverage of the 2016 Olympics in Rio last week. Swimming and gymnastics have always been my favorites of the summer competitions, but this year I marveled at the white water rafting, volleyball, and pretty much everything else.
