green soup

We are a culture filled with quick fixes. Crash diets, plastic surgery, hit hard, pay for it later. Food is no different, if not a more extreme example of this. What if we start approaching things a bit different. Cleaning the mess as we go. An attitude of inclusiveness and choice, and also great care. "Cleansing" or at least what…

Blue Majik Milk

I think you all know I like a little bit of magic. I mean, I think the world needs a large dose of that, love and peace. All the ingredients that maybe could make us all a little happier and healthier. But in the meantime as I wait, no, act for world peace, at least I can drink my way…

Cinnamon Heart Smoothie

  I'm a sucker for a smoothie, especially when it's a holiday themed smoothie. Yes Pink Shirt day is a holiday. In fact it may be the only time you'll catch me wearing pink. I have fond memories of cinnamon hearts. Valentines, and sweetness. I took that nostalgia and channeled the love here. Do you feel it? You can adjust…

Fakorn

They say imitation is the most sincerest form of flattery...I actually think its kind of BS. BUT....when it comes to making something highly accessible and demystified, well then. I think there may be a place. One of our most beautiful dining experiences in Vancouver for Vegan and non alike, is Acorn. This is truly a restaurant that creates a feast…

Em’s lavender smoothie bowl

Part of what makes a smoothie bowl, or a smoothie for that matter, appealing, is that its really not a science. You cant "go wrong". Its a mixture of flavours you can add and tweak, adjusting to fit your tastebuds. Which is a good thing, right? Every week I meet so many people who are nervous to take that first…

parsley pesto

Green on greens on green. I might even go so far as to say green is the new black? Interestingly enough, the only "colour" I do dare but wear, is often times a shade green. I digress, K so I mentioned last week how parsley is such an undervalued herb/green in our diet even though it is packed with antioxidants…

Easy Heirloom Tomato Flatbread

Ever since I saw an issue of Martha Stewart Living years ago, I've been obsessed with Heirloom tomatoes. Do You guys remember the cover? An ombre scale of the perfect colours of heirloom tomatoes. SO simple, yet so effective and divine in taste. SO over the years I play around with new ways of this, on baguettes, quiches etc. But…

Raw-ish Rebel Fig Tart

Figs are a thing of beauty. Complex in taste and texture, nutrient dense, exotic and ridiculously good for you. Oh and they just happen to be in season. More reason to love seasonal eating. So I got my bounty, when visiting Kirk & Alece's backyard. We took to the back alley, and so beholds the black market figs. All it…
