Veganizing Julia Child: Mushroom Bourguignon

Find Julia Child’s Vegan Apple Tarte Tatin here. I have long been a fan of Julia Child. I admire her immensely, because she was a pioneer in her field. Before Julia, there were very few female cookbook authors, and there were no TV chefs. She

Banoffee Pie In a Jar {Vegan}

I only had Banoffee Pie for the first time quite recently. I think I had it at Chewie’s, which does a pretty great version, considering it’s a NOLA-inspired restaurant. You see, Banoffee is quite a British dessert; it’s a mix of bananas, pastry cream and

Polenta Fries {Vegan Gluten-Free}

There is a photograph of me, somewhere, in a dusty old album, probably at my dad’s place, a grinning 2-year-old, happily splashing in the surf at Long Beach near Tofino. We were there for a family vacation, and showed my true colours early—any time I
