Springtime Fresh Fava Beans

with Wild Mushrooms, Fresh Asparagus, Vegan Gnocchi

In late spring and early summer, keep your eyes open for FRESH FAVA BEANS. These gigantic green pea pods are filled with large green beans that are encapsulated in yet another layer of protection that must be removed before cooking. While the excessive work of harvesting fresh fava beans is difficult and time consuming, but the reward is worth every moment! MORE>>

How to Cook Thai Sticky Rice

When Thai Sticky Rice is made perfectly, it can be pulled off and dipped into the soup to soak up that flavorful elixir in the bowl without sticking to your fingers. In the past I've simply added the Thai sticky rice to my automatic rice cooker with equal parts of water and let the rice steam. But I didn't get that chewy texture like the restaurant and it was STICKY. MORE>>

Gringo Vegan Tamales

 

All my sister-in-law’s family gets together with the WHOLE FAMILY to create tamales... but they use lard, meat and pork. So I'm never part of the creation process, but I watch. So after asking lots of questions about their recipe, I decided to experiment and try my hand at recreating some vegan tamales that I use to buy in the freezer section of a Honolulu vegan market. This is a bit of WORK, but you can FREEZE them and it is worth every minute spent. And you’ll never buy another frozen tamale!  MORE>>

The Hurom Slow Juicer

The Hurom Slow Juicer may run at a lower RPM but "slow" is a bit of a misnomer!
