I can’t think of a better accompaniment to feta cheese than another Mediterranean mainstay: eggplant. For this recipe, I roast eggplant and top it with sliced sheep’s milk feta cheese. The softness and earthiness of the eggplant is contrasted by the saltiness and tougher texture of the cheese. Enjoy!

Post-Holidays Creamy Vegan Cauliflower Soup
January 1, 2013 – 8:08 am
One way to remedy that food belly you’re carrying into the new year is to start making soups. By keeping the soup as clean as possible – no milk, cream, butter or other heavy add-ins – you get your body back on track, but by using the comfort of creamy cauliflower as well as nut [...]
Spicy Mint Seared Tofu
October 12, 2012 – 8:08 am
This recipe serves tofu in a very simple, yet fragrant way. Marinated in and olive oil mixture of fresh mint and spices, the tofu absorbs excellent flavor. Seared simply for a few minutes on both sides, the tofu takes about 5 minutes to completion. Enjoy!
Turkish Green Beans
September 29, 2012 – 8:08 am
Green beans are so understated. They are filling, but light, and their flavor is subtle enough not to overwhelm your senses and instead invite complementary ingredients. This is a traditional Turkish mezze, and I personally always order it if I see it on the menu. Luckily, it’s easy to recreate at home.
Homemade Kimchi
September 5, 2012 – 8:08 am
I’ve been dying to make kimchi for awhile. I absolutely adore it, but the process always seemed so intimidating. In the end, it wasn’t at all. It takes a bit of patience, but not the kind that requires attention. Instead, you spend a few minutes preparing the cabbage, then you let it go for a [...]
Coconut Creamed Corn
August 31, 2012 – 8:08 am
I couldn’t keep my spoon out of this dish. I finished it within minutes of making it, sharing only a negligent amount with a friend. This coconut creamed corn is absolutely delicious and can be eaten hot or cold. It’s vegan, oil-free, and easy to put together. This was another contribution to EcoSalon.com, where I [...]
Baked Zucchini Fries
August 19, 2012 – 8:08 am
As my latest contribution to EcoSalon.com, I created an alternative to fast-food French fries. These spicy zucchini fries are baked to cut fat grams and are without the potato to avoid a carb overload. While zucchini fries aren’t as firm as traditional fries, they hold their own quite well and taste wonderful when baked with [...]
Open-Face Red Pepper Melts
June 27, 2012 – 10:06 am
This recipe is fuss-free and full of character. All they take are 10 minutes in the oven and then they’re ready to pick up and chomp. Last week I couldn’t get enough of roasted pepper, but I tended to make them a component of a dish, rather than the main spectacle. These Open-Face Red Pepper [...]
Sea Bream Breeze
March 19, 2012 – 10:29 am
Many people shy away from making fish at home, because of the taboo surrounding the ability to cook it just right. I’ve always considered it the easiest of all meats to cook (at least far easier than chicken). The hard part comes in completing the flavor profile. Sure, fish only really needs some oil or [...]
