Getting Boozy With The Tipsy Vegan

chow — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 02:10:37 +0000

Another cookbook in for a review and getting a lot of action is The Tipsy Vegan: 75 Boozy Recipes to Turn Every Bite into Happy Hour by John Schlimm. I must confess I’m not much of a drinker but cooking with booze sure sounded fun. And adventurous. So let’s belly up to the bar and [...]

Kung Pao Tacos

chow — Sun, 18 Mar 2012 22:21:50 +0000

Trying out a package of Vegan Kung Pao Chicken from Vegetarian Plus, I went the way of the fusion food truck. Rather than just plopping it atop of rice, I made Kung Pao Tacos. One of the best things about the whole mobile fusion food thing is the flavor combination of various cuisines in an [...]

Gluten Rolls For Thanksgiving

chow — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 05:41:16 +0000

For the last couple of years, I’ve managed to find something new and different to try for my holiday meal. It’s usually some sort of heat-and-eat thing as the kitchen as always busy. Last year it was Gardein Savory Stuffed Turk’y, the year before it was Smoked Vegetarian Goose from Sogo Tofu, a small, local [...]

Veggie McRiblet

Welcome to Chow Vegan! Now serving for an unlimited time, the Veggie McRiblet. A MorningStar Farms hickory BBQ veggie riblet in a sweet and smoky sauce on a lightly toasted, freshly baked vegan hoagie roll from Zest Bakery. Topped with sautéed onions and bread n’ butter pickles that cover the entire riblet (not just the [...]

Savory Cheezy Cupcakes

It’s been cupcakes galore around here lately. With a fridge full of leftover veggies and cheezy sauce to use up, I made savory cupcakes. For being a non-baker, I’m getting a lot of mileage out of that muffin pan. A variation of the Vegetable Lasagna Cupcakes, the cheezy sauce replaces the tomato sauce. Swap out [...]

What Exactly Are Yves Grain Meat Strips?

chow — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 23:54:41 +0000

I’m such a sucker for trying new vegan items I see at the store. I can’t help it, especially if said item is on sale. The latest such thing is the Yves Grain Meat Strips ($2.99 at Whole Foods). It’s basically seitan (wheat gluten) – a vacuum-sealed pouch of seitan and there’s one for the [...]

My Tribe Hummus-Crusted Baked Tofu

chow — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 17:59:47 +0000

When Tribe Hummus offered me a try of their hummus, I thought why not? I’ve been getting Trader Joe’s hummus automatically for awhile now and haven’t really considered any other brand. Tribe hummus contains no artificial preservatives, saturated or trans-fats, hydrogenated oils, or dairy. While they have tons of unique as well as classic flavors, [...]

Chinese Coke-a-Cola Tofu

chow — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 05:09:44 +0000

You know what I haven’t done in a long time? Experiment with the roasted tofu recipe. This would be #6 – roasted tofu cubes in a Coke-a-Cola and leek sauce. You’re unlikely to see this cooked-with-cola dish at any Chinese restaurant as it’s a home kitchen kind of a thing. Normally made with chicken wings, [...]
