How to Cook Everything Vegetarian
Have you read Mark Bittman’s cookbook, How to Cook Everything Vegetarian?

Sometimes, just sometimes, I want a little treat.
Now, I’ve been making French yogurt cakes for years. But, then, I thought, wouldn’t they make for sweet little cupcakes?
There were a few trials and errors (my earlier versions tended to be way, way too sweet). But these, I think, are perfect.
They are insanely easy to make (and, [...]

(I just typed potato with an “e” at the end. Dan Quayle, will you get out of my head!)
Okay.

Vegetarian recipe: Fast and great
I discovered pea shoots earlier this year (if you have not had them, you must try them … they are wonderful!).
Certainly I had noticed them before. Who could not with their pretty, curling tendrils? But I never knew what to do with them so I never bought them.
Until this year. And this recipe.Vegetarian recipe: Garlicky [...]
