Seasonal Vegetables – California Spring
Category: News, Random Talk, Recipes Tags: Aparagus, california, Epicurious, risotto, seasonal vegetables, Vegan, Vegetarian
Everyone should know that its best to buy produce when its in season. Like most things in life, the value of fruits and vegetables are highly time sensitive; the freshness, taste and even nutritional value of produce is degraded when eaten out of season.
In doing research to find out what vegetables are currently in season, I came across an interactive Peak Season Map at Epicurious.com, which breaks out the season’s best fruit and veggie picks, by state.
Pasta della California

Pasta della California is one of my all time favorite vegan pasta dishes, the recipe for which I originally found at The Post Punk Kitchen. The broccoli in this plate adds distinct crunch, and the avocado creates a delicate creaminess that is a real textural treat. The kick of red pepper flakes and lime tie everything together. This pasta creates a phenomenal opportunity to make use of the seasons best produce. Better still, you get to cook with wine, and I love cooking with wine. Especially the intermittent sips from the measuring cup.
Sadly, Pasta della California seems to no longer be on a href=”http://www.theppk.com/” target=”_blank”>the Post Punk Kitchen site, but I was able to brush up on the pasta recipe (it had been a while!) using the version found on Food.com. I’m pretty sure that either it was taken from the PPK, or the PPK got their version from here- the verbiage is pretty familiar. I skipped the arugula, but I encourage you to try it. I just wasn’t willing to fit the Safeway bill for it.

I’ve had the pleasure of supporting communication efforts for the Berkeley Vegan Earth Day celebration, happening April 22nd on the UC Berkeley Campus. This is a phenomenal event–the first of its kind in the Bay Area– produced by Karine Brighten Events (remember the SF Vegan Fashion Show?). I suggest you pick up tickets asap– admission is $15 for adults, $10 with student ID, and seats are selling out fast!

Broccoli with Garlic “Butter” and Cashews
Category: Recipes Tags: broccoli, cashews, garlic, Vegan, Vegetarian
Not the healthiest way to prepare broccoli, but man is it delicious. This is also a pretty good way to get in a good serving of protein. I like to serve this with spicy brown rice, which I make by seasoning the boiling water with salt, garlic powder and red pepper flakes. I also add 1/2 block of tofu to up the protein, and to add more substance. Test it out and let me know what you think.

Garbanzo and Cabbage Soup
Category: Recipes Tags: cabbage, chickpeas, garbanzo, Soup, Vegan, Vegetarian
Mmmm… this soup sounds amazing–at least from the ingredients. The name sounds a little old-world England to me. Probably because it has cabbage in it. Somehow that word always brings to mind mid-century English women in charcoal dresses, mussed aprons and white bonnets. I guess I watch too many period films.
