Alkemie Ice Cream

chow — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 16:07:13 +0000

About a month ago at Whole Foods, I tried a sample of Alkemie, a new dairy-free, soy-free, gluten-free, raw ice cream. I also met co-founder and executive chef, Daniel Clary; he’s a really nice guy. Of the three flavors currently available, I like the Vanilla Bean the best and purchased a pint. It’s smooth, [...]

Vegan Red Velvet Cupcake From Sprinkles

I never got the whole concept of cupcake bakeries, probably because I wasn’t able to try any of them. But now that Sprinkles in Palo Alto has a vegan version of their red velvet cupcake, I just had to see what all the fuss is about. Since I haven’t tried red velvet cupcakes or cake [...]

Lucy’s Cookies At Starbucks

You probably heard by now that Starbucks is stocking Lucy’s cookies in their stores. They’re vegan, gluten-free and nut-free. I had to see for myself, besides I had a couple of Starbucks gift cards burning a hole in my wallet. So I walked into the nearest store and there they were, in the back, neatly arranged [...]

Field Roast Classic Meatloaf

chow — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 06:16:30 +0000

Who doesn’t love a sale? Especially if said sale involves food. My local Whole Foods started carrying the Field Roast Classic Meatloaf and put it on sale. I really like some of Field Roast’s other products so I had high hopes for this meatloaf. The main ingredient is vital wheat gluten combined with carrots, celery, tomatoes, [...]

Vegan BBQ Chicken Pizza From Whole Foods

Walking by the pizza station at the San Mateo Whole Foods, I saw to my astonishment that they had a little sign that read Vegan BBQ Chicken Pizza. I don’t know how many times I’ve walked by before and there was never anything remotely vegan. I asked to be sure, that the whole pizza was vegan, [...]

Kenzoil

chow — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 06:38:15 +0000

I had just taken out a batch of roasted tofu from the oven when I thought maybe I should try it with that new olive oil I got in the mail. I had received a complimentary bottle of Kenzoil from the manufacturer and was debating what to do with it. I must admit I wasn’t sure [...]

Oatmeal Raisin Cookie From Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar

chow — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 05:41:31 +0000

I can’t bake. I know it. You know it. Even the oven knows it. But after I received a review copy of Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero, I just had to give my favorite cookie, oatmeal raisin, a try. It didn’t start off well. I bought the [...]

Butternut Squash-Bartlett Pear Soup from Vegan Soul Kitchen

chow — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 16:49:55 +0000

Even though I love my spicy Butternut Squash Soup, I’m still curious about other versions, especially the ones that have fruit in them. Seeing the Butternut Squash-Bartlett Pear Soup from Vegan Soul Kitchen in the latest issue of Vegetarian Times pushed me over the edge and into the kitchen to give it a try. It’s a much [...]
