Pan-Roasted Potato & Cauliflower With Cashew Cream

When I was a kid growing up in Durban, South Africa, I hated going to church. It could have been a joyful event and in fact, it should have been, but my household was more studied in authoritarian control than the cultivation of joy.

Treasured Heirloom "Alubia Blanca" Bean Stew

Beans (you have two options) 1. Soak two cups of beans overnight. 2. Don't soak but when you cook them, boil for a full 10 minutes before returning to simmer again (I read this on the Rancho site). 3. Cook on medium to low heat with 1.5 tsp salt until al dente, drain and set aside.

Rose & Pitaya Raw Chocolate (Handmade Vegan Treat for Your Valentine!)

1. Place a non-reactive bowl in a pot of warm water, 45°C (113°F). Melt 74g raw cacao. Do not adjust the temperature. If it is too high, the cacao will no longer be raw. If you have a dehydrator, then pop the cacao in there for about 3 hours at 113-115°F/ 45°C.

Raw Vegan Gnocchi With Asparagus And Beet Puree

Bruno was a big, brown Dachshund with a heart full of silly-putty love. Bruno was my best friend. His eyes, luminous brownish-gold pools of love never hid his feelings, whether it was joy, fear, loneliness, mischief or anxiety.

Kimchi Gazpacho

1. In a large bowl, tear up the Napa leaves, julienne the carrots and red cabbage and combine all together with salt, layering the salt between random layers. Massage, squeeze and massage. Then, leave it alone while you prepare the brine. Very slowly, the cellulose walls will break down and their juices will collect around the vegetables.
