Hard-Boiled Eggs in the Air-Fryer: Here’s How
Eggs are not vegan, but neither am I, and this plant eater enjoys organic eggs from time to time. If that is your case, too, here is a time saver for every busy egg-loving air fryer owner: don’t boil them. Air-fry your eggs instead. There’s no need to egg-sit or adjust the temperature, and the

Florina Pizzeria & Panicoteca in Boston’s Beacon Hill Delights the Eyes and Taste Buds
Pizza craving hits me while passing through Boston’s blooming and stylish Beacon Hill. I am on my way from North Station to inspirational photo adventures involving blossoms in the city, and maybe lanterns and red brick buildings with fire escapes. I barely have the time to articulate this important and carby urgency, as my partner

Honest, an Enjoyable Indian Vegetarian Restaurant in Waltham, in the Greater Boston Area
Honest is a great concept! This street food-oriented small restaurant chain has a nice and welcoming outlet in Waltham, and there are two more in Massachusetts. In fact, there are several Honest restaurants across North America, even in Canada, to keep vegetarian food lovers warm. I’m sure they are all delightful, but I’ll only talk

This Easy Olive Oil and Buckwheat Quiche Crust Comes Together in Minutes
Nothing is easier than this olive oil quiche crust. I made it tonight adapting a recipe found online, and it works very well. You can mix flours differently, using a gluten-free flour mix or oat flour, and it will still work. It tastes amazing and is much lighter and healthier than a moo cow butter

Vegan Bolognese with Mushrooms and Kale Tonight
Craving something savory tonight, I pull out gluten-free linguine, French brown lentils and drive into the late March sunlight peppered with red maple buds to get fresh veggies from Market Basket. A bunch of barely sautéed kale and colorful peppers give this oldie but goodie pantry-friendly freshness. All it takes is a box of linguine,

Lemony Lentil and Carrot Soup to Brighten a Rainy Spring Day
When it is still too cold for a fresh salad and too early for local young potatoes, this soup will brighten a cool spring day while bringing warmth and cheerful energy into your kitchen. I adapted Melissa Clark’s excellent recipe into a chunkier and slightly more exotic one by adding lentils, ginger and a whole

Lazy, Spicy Vegetable Tofu Stir-Fry in the Air Fryer for Cool Weeknight Evenings
It’s one of those evenings: cold sun about to set, still sweater weather, and I’m experiencing ominous chills. Fortunately, the fridge is full of tofu (literally, 5 blocks) and fresh veggies, and the cilantro begs to be used before dying. It’s also true that the pantry barely closes as at least fifty different spices compete

Food Is Love, Food Is Energy, Let’s Treat It Kindly
Somehow, at a not-that-distant point in time, we Westerners may have gotten this food and eating thing all wrong. But first, I would like you to consider your answer to this question: What is food to you, besides staying alive? Is it fullness of being, connecting to the earth through seasons, an adventure hour with

No vegan cream today, it wasn’t always so
What do you fellow vegans use to replace dairy cream in recipes, I wonder out loud? In the Boston area, I am a still a fish out of water, and am having a hard time finding unsweet vegan, or at least, non-dairy cream options for cooking. Walmart is far, and either this mastodont of an
