I’ve had this post in draft form for more than a week, waiting for inspiration to strike. I have come up with nothing profound to say about these soft, chewy, salty knots of pleasure, except they are delicious, remarkably easy, and were a huge hit at Morgan’s class Halloween party.

It’s cool and delicious and absolutely positively guilt-free. Like anything, it’s best made with fresh-from-the-garden produce and herbs, but I often am [...]

Recently, I served this stew to some friends who were transitioning to a vegan diet. Talk about “a healthy abundance!” This dish is a delicious, filling and flavorful main course, and no one missed the meat. One of my guests (Greg, you know who you are) proclaimed it “one of the best things I’ve eaten [...]
