The Rustic Veggie-Table: 100 Vegan Recipes

The following excerpt offers the introduction to and includes a list recipes from each section on my cookbook The Rustic Vege-Table: 100 Vegan Recipes.

Welcome to my kitchen!

I enjoy watching the cooking shows on TV, and as I watch, I constantly muse on how to convert their traditional uses of meat, eggs, milk, butter, and cheese to vegan versions. An example of this musing resulted in my “Vegan Meatloaf” that looks a lot like the meatloaf my mother used to make and tastes as yummy.

In addition to following a vegetarian diet, I also try to eat more alkalizing than acidifying foods. Most vegetables and fruits, some nuts, and pseudo grains are alkalizing; therefore, my recipes frequently call for sprouted grains to replace regular whole grains; however, I do use whole-wheat flour and unbleached organic flour occasionally, especially for biscuits and gravy.

I replace regular salt with sea salt, refined sugar with agave nectar, stevia, or raw sugar, depending on the recipe, and soy milk with coconut milk.

This kind of cooking requires experimentation, and these webpages, as well as my published cookbook, feature the recipes that I have tried and deemed successful—although I continue to think of my cooking as experimental because I hardly ever make a dish the same way twice.

And my dishes always have a rather ragged look about them that I call rustic. The pictures that accompany some of the recipes will show you exactly what I mean by “rustic.” They are tasty, however!

Thank you for taking this experimental culinary journey with me!

Buon Appetito!
