HOME FRIES AND JUST EGG OMLET Perfect for restaurant fare. Holds up well. You heard of putting chopped scrambled egg in fried rice? Well, as I was going to do that I noticed some diced potatoes in the pantry, so went with them instead. Decided to use only salt, pepper and rosemary for seasoning and likedContinue reading “Home Fries and JUST EGG Omlet”

Standardized Viscosity
Standardized Viscosity Ever notice how there’s only one basic consistency of pudding or mousse or gelatin, even gravy? I don’t know who sets the standard, but it happens and for whatever reason everybody who sells pudding, mousse, gelatin, even gravy either copies one another or they settle into one viscosity level. A cook assigned toContinue reading “Standardized Viscosity”

Tofu Cloth Instructions
TOFU CLOTH INSTRUCTIONS ClipBoard: After a few years, my tofu cloth made from a polyester curtain sprang some holes. Since I didn’t have any spare curtain fabric, I used instead one of Steve’s old white cotton T-shirts. It work just as fine. For many recipes you’ll want to squeeze the liquid out of the blockContinue reading “Tofu Cloth Instructions”
TASTE THE BLOOD
SMOKED PAPRIKA is the key ingredient added to animal-free recipes tasting of blood. Other additives that enhance the smoked paprika thus the blood taste are garlic powder, dry mustard, turmeric and sea salt. ~ Sharon Lee Davies-Tight AFC BLOOD RED ITALIAN SAUSAGE BURGER©
Replicating Recipes
REPLICATING RECIPES It seems that some recipes, no matter how you prepare them, turn out perfectly every time. Other recipes, no mater how precisely you follow the instructions, turn out differently every time. The reason for this is that some recipes are more susceptible to variations (no matter how slight) than others. If you experienceContinue reading “Replicating Recipes”
NEW RICE POLICY
NEW RICE POLICY Since reading about high arsenic levels in rice, particularly brown rice, I now rinse all bagged rice till water runs clear before cooking it. Place dried rice in wire mesh strainer. Run faucet water over rice, while holding the strainer over a saucepan, emptying pan as needed, till the water runs clearContinue reading “NEW RICE POLICY”
Frustration-Free Cooking
FRUSTRATION-FREE COOKING COOK TO PLEASE–either yourself and/or your guests. To approach cooking as a chore deprives you of the joys of discovery, accomplishment and satisfaction. DON’T RUSH. Accelerating the cooking process to the point of exhausting the cook is unsettling to the cook as well as the people she/he is cooking for. Relax and enjoy theContinue reading “Frustration-Free Cooking”
DUMBING DOWN RECIPES
DUMBING DOWN RECIPES I don’t dumb down recipes. Everybody does it in order to make the recipe sound as simple as possible. If I did it, I’d be defeating the purpose of teaching you the correct way, or at least the way I did it. Dumbing down a recipe leaves too much open for interpretationContinue reading “DUMBING DOWN RECIPES”
Where Have You Been?
When you go animal-free you find yourself attracted to more variety in your condiments, spices and herbs. In fact, in every category of animal-free, you begin noticing that which was previously blurred by the meat being the center of attention – differences in pastas, rices, veggies, beans, nuts and all the different, delectable ways they can beContinue reading “Where Have You Been?”
What Veggie Means Here
When I use the word “veggie” in my recipes or writing I’m referring to animal-free/plant-based. Veggie means vegetable. I am not referring to vegetarian, which usually means containing eggs and/or dairy. Eggs and/or dairy are not plants, so go figure on how the world now accepts eggs and dairy as plants.
THAT’S YOU NOW
You want to explore. I know you do. It’s like being a kid again isn’t it? That feeling of going outside into your environment on any given day as a kid, to explore the world beyond your house or apartment to see what lies beyond the boundaries your parents set for you? What a wonderful,Continue reading “THAT’S YOU NOW”
Respect Is A Side Effect Of Going Animal-Free
Begin by going one day a week, any day or any meal, without meat. Then advance to more days on more occasions. Or start with eliminating dairy and eggs. About 65% of the human population has lactose intolerance*. Eating/drinking dairy, besides being unnatural after being weaned from mother, besides causing digestive disturbances via lactose intolerance, coats yourContinue reading “Respect Is A Side Effect Of Going Animal-Free”
I Want An Animal-Free Mall
That’s right. A mall. Animal-free. A big one. With lots of glitter and big lights. With every kind of shop. Grocery, bakery, deli, shoe store, pet supply shop, clothes, hair salon using only cruelty-free products, and on and on, restaurants too. Good ones. I have a vision. And it’s a nice one. No fur, noContinue reading “I Want An Animal-Free Mall”

TASTING
TASTING. Taste and/or smell each ingredient before you add it to a dish, then taste and smell the dish to which you’ve added it, so that you become familiar with the way in which the flavor, texture, color and aroma achievements progress. Cooking is not only an art, but a science as well. Knowing how oneContinue reading “TASTING”
GUESTS
GUESTS. Since eating is one of the most important functions in life (eating is what keeps us alive), we approach it with a desire to make each experience – whether for 1 or 21 – the happiest and most healthful experience ever. Therefore everyone is treated as a guest – including family.
