The more I’ve learned how to eat vegan, the more I am realizing how I enjoy a more plant-based lifestyle. Admittedly, I miss burgers, bacon, and cheese, so I’m incorporating meat back into my diet. Mostly, I want to continue being veg-forward and I am not alone! More and more people are converting to a plant-based lifestyle, therefore more plant-based ...
I remember the first time my family and I went to a fancy dinner together after I was diagnosed with Celiac. At that time, there were only a few (if any) menu items that were gluten-free. As a family, we always eat family style and the serving sizes at this restaurant were minuscule. I recall everyone digging into my food ...
My husband and I love Vietnamese food. Honestly, our love of pho came from curing hangovers originally (this truly works, if you want to know.) But our love has expanded and grown over the years. Learning how to make our own Vietnamese food has always been on our bucket list. We’ve attempted many dishes, but always seem unsuccessful – and ...
Spanish cuisine, for Americans, tends to be put on the back burner when it comes to Western European food. I’ve only tried a handful of Spanish dishes and most of the time they were offered at high end restaurants. I wish it was more popular for the common household! Basque is a magical place, from everything I’ve read. I hope ...
I’ve said it before, but I tend to eat a lot of Asian food. It is my favorite kind of cuisine and it’s typically gluten friendly – Or easy to make gluten-free. I honestly cannot wait to start making some of my favorite Asian dishes plant-based. (Disclosure: Some of the links in this post are affiliate links. This means if ...
It wasn’t until I started working for Cookbook Divas that I heard of Julia Turshen. I do pride myself in being pretty awesome in the kitchen, but I am guilty of googling a recipe and just taking the first one. Sometimes that is fine, because home cooks are just as phenomenal as trained chefs. But Julia Turshen needs to be ...
Let’s be honest, every time I have gone to a pub or bar I am looking forward to the drinks more than the food. There are a few pubs I have gone to that have exquisite food, but it sometimes feels jumbled together. There’s not a lot of special attention to food pairings, specialty cocktails, or the theme seems to ...
One of my bucket list items is to go to as many countries I can and taste the local cuisine. I love traveling and being adventurous – especially when it comes to food. I will try anything! What if there was a cookbook that provided all of us with tasty classics from Paris to Marrakesh, Beijing to Rio de Janeiro? ...
I have to be perfectly honest, my knowledge of the culinary differences in Mexico is very limited. That’s why I want to learn more about it. Mexico is a vast country composed of states with different culinary expertise. Central Mexico (Mexico City, Puebla, Morelos) have foods we know and love such as barbacoa, chile rellenos, and chalupas. These are pretty ...
I’m surprised with myself and how much I’ve been baking this year. I thought I was tired of it after the holidays, but apparently I can’t get enough. I am really excited to check out what this year has to offer when it comes to baking cookbooks. There are always new bakers paving the way for new savory and sweet ...
