Guacamole from Oaxaca by John Spottiswood

This is an easy to make, flavorful, and slightly spicy guacamole. Previously I never blended the onion, garlic and cilantro into a puree as this calls for, and I think it does a better job of distributing the flavors evenly. It also reduces the amount of fine mincing required. Even if you've got a trusted guacamole recipe, you…

Jamaican "Beef" Patties by Kiki Thompson

Coming from a Jamaican background, many times my palate craves the blended flavors of curry. So I veganized one of my favorite treats, Jamaican Beef Patties. These are kind of similar to Mexican empinadas, but spicy I was kind of skeptical at first, but you can not tell the difference…it’s all about the seasoning when it comes down…

I had tested many vegan cheesecakes and came really close to the dairy form, but this is it! The flavoring and everything is just perfect! It's decadent. It's probably not the best option when it comes to staying healthy, but it's nice to know that I have an option when I get those cravings for cheesecake :)

fresh cilantro tortillas by FromScratch Sarah

Very simple.I recommend oiling your griddle/pan well.The flour water mix is not always going to work as the recipe calls, the idea is the create an elastic dough not too sticky to roll out into tortillas.I like mine a little thicker to rip up for the dip. These are awesome served with heavenly hot dip, a plate of spinich and…
