"I got 99 problems but a meal ain't 1"
Self-Taught Vegan Chef :: Food Network Champion :: TV Host
This past weekend by some chance (and persistence) I was featured as a chef at Food Loves Tech for the amazing Farm.One! You really need to check them and if you live in the NYC area, definitely pay them a visit in Tribeca! But what I would like to focus on in this post is …
I don’t think there’s an American classic that I like better than good ole’ Mac and Cheese. Well, corn bread is a close second. But since I’ve been actively trying to go vegan, I haven’t really eaten Mac and Cheese at all! And… I MISS IT!! As I’m exploring vegan cheeses, I’m evaluating their taste, …
Sometimes you just need a good ole stir-fry. Something quick, easy, and perfect for a lazy Pri. That’s exactly what this Eggplant Stir-Fry is!! You probably have all of the ingredients already. Just mix a few things together and BAM, you got yourself a weeknight dinner in under 30 minutes, for sure! You can use …

There are a ton of nut and seeds butters out there now and I love it! I think it’s a healthy trend, but as with anything, we should be cognizant of where our food is coming from, how it’s being sourced, and how the effects are on the quality of the product. So when SoCo, …
You all know by now that I LOVE supporting local – local produce, local products, local people – you name it! It makes me feel a sense of community and I also get to know many of these folks on a personal level. I especially love local creative food products like Trade St. Jam Co! …
I’m a huge snacker – I think I get it from my mama. We have this incredible ability to eat containers of Indian snacks and forgo real meals. Incredible I tell ya. But as I get older, ehem 30 ehem, I can’t really afford to be eating bags and containers full of fried Indian goodness. …
UPDATE PEOPLE – I have been fortunate enough to get a NEW job! Yes, I’ve left Condé Nast and am now at Twitter! I’m super excited and think this is definitely a natural fit for me, cause DUH social media is my THANG. But this post isn’t about my new job, it’s about THAI FOOD. …
