Happy Peasant SoupHearty, nourishing, delicious, nutritious, and dead easy to make. This red potato, onion and garlic broth, which I affectionately refer to, as my “Happy Peasant Soup” (do you like the smiley face I made in my photo?) is quite simply phenomenal. This phytochemical rich garlic broth will fight off any viral vampires you have to fight,… |

Vegan Coconut, Pumpkin and Red Lentil SoupI have probably given this recipe to over 100 people. That is not an exaggeration. This soup is really that good! For those of you living in the United States, you will want to substitute sweet potato for the fresh pumpkin. I vary the greens every day depending on what I have available. Chopped green beans work really well. You can… |

Raw Vegan Chocolate Fruit BallsMy mom and I make these raw fruit balls all the time and they are absolutely delicious. We use raw almonds, cashews and macadamias as our nutty blend. But you could use any nuts that tickle your festive fancy. Just know that each nut mix will yield a treat of a different personality. Roll out these vegan treats. They make great… |

Creamy Vegan Roasted Sweet Potato SoupI am constantly overwhelmed by the surprising depth of flavour of this simple little soup, the beauty of this soup – it’s simplicity and bare ingredients. You just would not believe something so basic could taste so rich and deep AND creamy! Those macadamias are just pure magic in this soup. It is worth mentioning that I have made… |

Gluten Free Pumpkin CornbreadI modified my mother-in-law’s beloved cornbread recipe to create this. The pumpkin gives the gluten free-flours a moisture and spring, and the lemon juice and spices lifts the mix. My first go was a triumph, and I have not changed anything since. I like to serve this bread right out of the oven, and put almond butter or regular butter… |

Honey Carrot and Date MuffinsI can’t count the number of times I have made these delicious gluten-free muffins. They are quick, easy, and absolutely scrumptious. I used to “make a date” with my carrot grater on many a lazy Saturday afternoon, and make a quadruple batch to take for snacks at work; and there were many grateful snouts. These muffins freeze… |

Vegan Cream of Spinach SoupThe best thing about this soup? It takes less than half an hour from chopping board to table; and is dead easy. Unlike starchy soups that need about 30-40 minutes to cook through, this soup only needs about 20 minutes. Just chop up your ingredients, bring to the boil, simmer, blend and serve. I can’t seem to go past using whole… |

Gluten Free Date and Walnut Loaf - "Delicious Magazine"My friend Kris and I adapted this fantastic recipe from the November 2007 edition of Delicious Magazine in Australia. My all-time favourite recipe and food publication in the world. We added in a generous drop or two of rose water, which turns this already spectacular loaf into a sublime creation just begging to be devoured. Rose… |

Pork Stew with WineThis is another phenomenal recipe that I adapted from a recipe from James Villas in Stews, Bogs, and Burgoos. I still have not found a recipe from this book that is not amazing. Anyway, don't be thrown off by the fruit in this recipe. It blends in with the wine, meat and vegetables to make a luscious combination. This recipe… |

Cumin Chicken SoupI created this warming soup from the leftovers of the wonderful Cumin Roasted Chicken. The aromas of cumin, oregano and chicken promise a flavorful dinner. Use one or more jalapeno pepper, depending upon your preference and the heat of the peppers. I finished the soup with diced avocado and homemade green salsa and served it over a… |

Slow Cooker Beef with Barley SoupCooking the pearl barley a long time gives this soup a nutty flavor and smooth texture. It's very different from the chewy texture you get when cooking regular barley over a shorter period. I adapted this from an America's Test Kitchen recipe and used about half the beef they called for and added the mushrooms. If you have big beef… |
