Weekday Vegetarian Thanksgiving: Cranberry Sorbet

Posted on November 19, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Comments Off on Weekday Vegetarian Thanksgiving: Cranberry Sorbet

I toyed with the idea of making a pumpkin pie for dessert for our Thanksgiving dinner because it really is such a traditional fixture to the meal. But I served so much food, I really wanted something that was going to be lighter as a finish. I still wanted something seasonal , so I decided to make a cranberry sorbet and served it along side a selection of Canadian artisanal cheeses. It turned out to be the perfect dessert, very refresh… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Photo: Kelly Rossiter What is Thanksgiving dinner without gravy? Just because you are having a vegetarian meal doesn’t mean you have to forgoe what is to me, one of the most important elements of the dinner. Gravy ties all of the flavours on the plate together. Not only that, everyone likes to sop up their gravy with mashed potatoes or

Waste Fruit Feeds the Hungry in Canada

Posted on September 15, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Image credit: A News Yesterday I posted about the Fresh 1% sustainable food grant . In the process, I came across an awesome project called LifeCycle which is working in Victoria, Canada, to glean unwanted fruit and redistribute it to those in need. The trouble is, this year has not been a great year for tree fruits. LifeCycle needs more trees. … Read the full story on TreeHugger

Weekday Vegetarian: Make Refried Beans as a Base For Lots of Dishes

Posted on August 23, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Photo: Kelly Rossiter I know, I know, this is not a photogenic dish. In fact, as one of my previous commenters eloquently noted about another post , it looks like something the cat cacked up. Nasty visuals aside, these refried beans are the base of lots of great Mexican dishes. It may not be pretty to look at, but it is totally delicious…. Read the full story on TreeHugger

Weekday Vegetarian: Healthy Farmhouse Corn Cakes

Posted on August 17, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Photo: Kelly Rossiter If I buy too much corn at the farmers’ market, which, truth be told is pretty much always, I sometimes grill the whole cobs all at once and then use up the corn kernals in other dishes. My husband’s favourite way to eat leftover corn is in corn cakes. I’ve tried lots of recipes over the years, and this is the one I’m going to keep…. Read the full story on TreeHugger

Weekday Vegetarian Gets The Nod From TIME and PETA

Posted on August 16, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Sam Kerr for Time Graham Hill’s Weekday Vegetarian concept is controversial among some of our readers, who don’t think people should eat meat at all. But Time Magazine says that only 2.5% of Americans are strict vegetarians or vegans, and Graham’s idea is that any cutback in meat consumption is good for the environment. Not everyone has the discipline to go, dare I say, whole hog; according to Vegetarian Times , a full 10% of Americans follow a “vegetarian-inclined” diet. But the most surprising takea… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Weekday Vegetarian: Corn on the Cob with Maple-Chipotle Glaze

Posted on August 16, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Photo: Kelly Rossiter This is the time of the year I always look forward to. I love it when dinner can consist of nothing more than a couple of ears of corn , a plate of sliced tomatoes and a green salad . There’s nothing easier to make, and it’s a totally satisfying simple supper. This week is going to be a celebration of corn at the Weekday Vegetarian, but I had to start with my favourite way to eat it, straight off the cob… Read the full story on TreeHugger

Weekday Vegetarian: Pasta with Fava Beans and Pecorino Romano

Posted on July 20, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Photo: Emma Alter Once I discovered earlier this spring how really delicious fava beans are, I have been buying them every time I see them. There’s no doubt they are a bit more work that the average bean, but I love the taste and the texture and I think it’s worth the work. The season isn’t very long, and I thought it was over because I hadn’t seen fava beans in the organic market where I shop for awhile, but suddenly there they were again. This may be the last hurrah for them for this year. … Read the full story on TreeHugger
