Crunchy Long Beans With Sesame SeedsThis is just a simple vegetable dish I'd discovered during my last Shopping & Dining Trip in Bangkok. I was spell-bound the minute I took a bite into this dish at a Thai-Chinese Restaurant near Conrad Bangkok. Interestingly, it's spicy, very spicy & terribly salty. They've added peppercorns, dried chilli & something I've never… |

Coconut PuttuThis is simple light breakfast or tea-break steamed snack made out of rice flour that is readily available in the supermarket. It is best mixed with grated coconut and sugar. If wish to eat it with curry, then exclude the sugar. May also include small cut pieces of ripe banana when steaming for a variant in taste. |

Sunshine C SaladFresh and colorful, this slaw is chock-full of vitamin C, virtually no calories and no fat to worry about. It is a mayo free and picnic friendly slaw.

Four C ColeslawThis is my version of a coleslaw I tasted many years ago at a catered event. It's close but not precisely the same. However it's a refreshing change from those familiar too-creamy coleslaws. The salad base is made up of 4 vegetables that start with the letter C, hence the recipe name. Cabbage, corn, cucumber, and cilantro team up… |

Colorful Bean 'N' Corn SaladThis salad is a great way to enjoy vegetables and is a terrific dish to bring along to potlucks! This recipes needs to be planned ahead of time because it needs to chill so that the flavors may "blend". The marinade proves to be a miracle of it's own!! |

Kale with Kalamata OlivesKale is hearty and healthy, and often teams in winter soups with potatoes and beans. But in this recipe, based on Deborah Madison’s Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, it takes center stage. Quick to prepare it is a pleasant change from other green sides. Don’t let the volume of a one pound bunch of kale scare you off - it cooks down! |
