  1. I just discovered a great vegan cookbook by a very creative chef. Every recipe has been a success with my tasters... Homemade Vegan Pantry by Miyoko Schinner. It just came out in June 2015. Here is the Amazon link. Aloha, Carole Grogloth Molokai Hawaii
  2. I like ebook cookbooks so I can easily take my favorite books with me when I travel. However I don' t buy ebooks that I'm not familiar with since they are no fun to browse. Carole Grogloth Molokai Hawaii
  3. Aloha, Great question and good ideas. Here are my three: 1. grind dried mushrooms in blender to make a powder. Store in a jar and add it to sauces, soups and stir fries. Lasts a long time on the shelf. 2. grind dried Ancho chilies in a blender and use to make great chili. Lasts a long time, too. 3. when I have organic lemons and use the juice but don't need the zest at that time, I grate the zest and freeze it in a small container for later. I do the same for grapefruit and oranges. Carole Grogloth, Molokai, Hawaii
  4. Aloha All, I'm trying to improve my paella recipe so all your tips are very helpful. Carole Grogloth, Molokai, Hawaii
  5. RWood, The cake is gorgeous with the chocolate fondant, the Sugar Dress lace is very elegant, but the peony is out of this world. Nice work. Carole Grogloth, Hawaii
  6. Aloha DianaM, Those are the happiest gingerbread men I have ever seen. Yum! Carole Grogloth, Hawaii
  7. FrogPrincesse, your rustic apple tart looks very tasty and simple to make. Carole
  8. Curls, Your cake is a show stopper, and will keep people guessing on how you made such a gorgeous pattern. Thanks for sharing your picture and the secret. Carole Grogloth Hawaii
  9. I also never knew chickpeas needed to be skinned. This would explain why some soups I've tasted are not as velvety as others, so it really can make a difference. Carole Grogloth, Molokai, Hawaii
  10. Shel, I buy my organic chickpeas pre-packaged from Arrowhead Mills. The following site discusses chickpea varieties: http://humus101.com/EN/2008/04/22/hummus-in-perspective-chickpea-varieties/. The Arrowhead Mills chickpeas I have look closest to the Middle-Eastern chickpeas in this site's picture, although Arrowhead Mills doesn't say so on it's package. The blogger calls these chickpeas small, and best to use for hummus. I hope this helps. Carole Grogloth, Molokai, Hawaii
  11. Will, thanks for the book title recommendation. I've just ordered it. Carole Grogloth, Hawaii
  12. Jayne, Thanks for the link to fatfree.com. I briefly looked it over and was struck by the volume of information there. I was also struck by how much our tastes change over time, and not just vegan tastes, but our culture in general. Just look at an old edition of Fanny Farmer or Joy of Cooking. Most of the recipes I looked at on the fatfree.com site were from 1993. In 20 years vegan cooking has made a remarkable journey. I've performed a lot of internet searches for fat free vegan cooking sites, but never came up with this one, maybe because it is archived. So thanks for the tip, I may never have found it on my own. Aloha, Carole Grogloth Hawaii
  13. Aloha Plantes Vertes, Thanks for all your suggestions. Your tool suggestions will add a lot of fun to my cooking. I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to reply. eGullet is turning out to be a helpful, fun, educational source for me. Mahalo Carole Grogloth, Hawaii
  14. Aloha Baselerd, Thank you for your interesting recipe. I have all the ingredients, except I had to look up what bonito flakes are: "flakes of dried, smoked bonito fish". I'll have to look for it at the store. Carole Grogloth, Hawaii
  15. Plante Vertes, What a wonderful list of suggestions. I really appreciate the ideas and it will take me a while to try them. They sound really good, i never thought of using orange juice as a flavoring. Carole Grogloth, Hawaii
  16. Hi LindaK, You are so right, steamed vegetables with some salt and spices are delicious. Carole Grogloth, Hawaii
  17. Hi HungryC, Thanks for taking the time to write. Best Wishes, Carole Grogloth Hawaii
  18. Hi CacaoFlower, I've been happy with the response to my posting. There are lots of interesting and controversial studies on fat in the diet, and yes, the Mediteranian diet has gotten good press. Thanks for the link, i read it. For myself, I throw my lot with Esselstyne, Campbell, McDougall, Ornish, and Furhman. They have extremely good credentials and I’m convinced. Here is one of many YouTube links you may want to watch.

  19. Jeff and Zoe have a newer (2009) book out using whole wheat flour: Healthy bread in five minutes a day : 100 new recipes featuring whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and gluten-free ingredients / Jeff Hertzberg and Zoë François ; photography by Mark Luinenburg. Same easy technique but geared more toward whole grains. Carole Grogloth, Hawaii
  20. No oil pumpkin cake - Carole Grogloth, Molokai Hawaii by Carole Grogloth Hawaii, on Flickr The Very Hungry Caterpillar cupcakes look really cute, what creative idea! I made this a no-oil pumpkin cake which everyone enjoyed. Carole Grogloth Molokai Hawaii
  21. Aloha eGullet Members, Can anyone share some recipes or techniques for cooking tasty vegetables without oil? I am following Caldwell Esselstyn's diet for good health (Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease). He is part of a growing team of doctors who want to do more than fix up sick people, but want to prevent illness from starting. And they have compelling science that shows diet is the answer. Other doctors include: T. Colin Campbell, China Study; Dean Ornish, Eat More Weigh Less; John McDougall, The McDougall Plan; and Joel Fuhrman, Eat to Live. These are all very convincing books, if you are interested in good food and good health. However, this movement can use some help from knowledgeable culinary artists, which is why I joined this forum. The Low Fat Vegan Chef, Veronica, has some great instructions with pictures on how to fry onions without oil. I never thought this could be done, but they are delicious. http://lowfatveganchef.com/how-to-cook-without-oil-or-how-to-cook-fat-free/ I'm looking forward to trying some new cooking ideas.

  22. I have a jackfruit tree in my yard and get about one fruit a year, not as many as the picture in the Seabird link. The ripe fruit tastes similar to pineapple, banana, and apple combined. The last fruit I picked was over 20 pounds and I ended up freezing some which tasted good when defrosted. The big fruit contains multiple large seeds, almost the size of a date, and each seed is surrounded by the edible fruit. I’ve been told the seeds are also edible but I never tried eating them since I think they need to be dried or roasted but I don’t have enough information to try it yet. You have to pick the fruit at the exact moment it is ripe, when it has a fragrant scent. If you pick it too late it has a very unpleasant smell and you don’t want to eat it. I have never heard of eating it green. The “pulled pork” sandwich looks delicious; I’ll have to try it next year. Carole Grogloth Hawaii
  23. I am a Madison fan, so thanks for the heads up. I hadn't heard about Vegetable Literacy but the description on Amazon is interesting. It "reveals the surprising relationships between vegetables, edible flowers, and herbs within the same botanical families." Carole Grogloth, Hawaii
  24. Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone is my everyday go-to vegetarian cookbook. It won the James Beard Foundation Award for Excellence and the Julia Child's book of the year award. It has many gems of recipes as well as basic information on vegetarian foods. It was published in 1997 and remains a great book on vegetarian cooking.
