Vegan White Lasagna with Basil Ricotta Spinach, Young Rocket and Diced Pancetta + Food Porn


I find it kind of humorous that I bake Vegan Twinkies. Honestly, it could be snappy slang that describes me quite accurately. In essence, "vegetable-consuming gay girl." Whatever the case, I make them well. If you haven't heard via Twitter or another form of addictive interweb networking platform, I am remotely back in business. I say "remotely" because I'm only filling private orders. I'll even send them to you in Fiji as long as you're down to cover the cost of shipping. 

Please also know that I'm not being a Jewess with the pricing. I do what I can to make a little bit of dinero and cover the cost of quality vegan, organic ingredients. Check out my snazzy updated web site for all the information: www.nowheyvegan.com

In other news, life has been quite exciting in my quaint West Hollywood abode. I auditioned to be a cast member on the new L Word Reality Series, and I think we'd be excellent candidates. I'm a little bit of a non-traditional lesbian couple. I have a dog instead of a cat, I waited at 8 months before U-Hauling in my last relationship - practically 5 years on lesbian time. Typical lesbian couples wait about two weeks. 

I won't reveal much more about my personal life. The song "Life In The Fast Lane" describes some off my past relationships pretty well. No, I don't do cocaine, but I am hard-headed. 

My cookbook manuscript is progressing at. It's slated for a Fall 2010 release, so start saving your shekels ;) I've been writing recipes like crazy, as usual, and will probably have most of a second book finished before the first is even out. Instead of a recipe this week, you lucky readers get some mouth-watering photos and the cooking video from the Surf and Turf I posted a few weeks ago. Above, you saw a White Lasagna with Basil "Ricotta", Spinach, Young Rocket and Diced Vegan "Pancetta". 

Edited in 2010: Sorry, everyone. Had to take these recipes down. You can find them in my Cookbook, or send me an email asking nicely. I love baked goods, by the way ;)

Now, on to the Food Porn.

 
Roasted Garlic Green Curry with Mixed Wild Mushrooms, Thai Eggplants and Vegan Pancetta

Lastly, "Crab"and Oyster Mushroom Mezzelune in a Roasted Hatch Chile and Walnut Cream Sauce...



Happy Jews Year!

5 months?! Ya'll crazy now :) I miss the L Word...it would only make me happier if you were on the reality take of it.

And that green curry photograph is driving me crazy too. We made a red curry with eggplant and green beans last Saturday for date night, but man, the green looks so darn good. Especially the homemade curry paste!

Hey!
I'm a new reader of your blog and I just wanted to say Hello! I can't wait to try some of your recipes...and maybe order some items too! You seem to be very talented in the kitchen. Thank you for sharing!

You 2 would be beyond perfect for that reality show. I wish I'd thought of the idea and pitched it to you! ;) Kidding about that...but they'd be crazy to not choose you to participate.

The new site is absolutely gorgeous. Fire-Roasted Pumpkin, Hazelnut, & Black Cumin Pie?!?! Where have you been hiding that amazing-sounding dessert?

Hooray for the book! And hooray that there's already going to be a second!

Loving what you do very much! I'm Vegetarian (9 years), but am considering making the switch to Vegan after an egg-sperience that left me feeling a little disgusted. I'm thinking you will help me along the Vegan path very easily! Keep on doing what you do! It's sock-rockin'!!

Take care,
