How to make Kale Chips

March 3, 2010

Kale chips are what dehydrators are for, and dehydrators are what kale is for, and there’s an infinite loop in the works here that actually does have an end, which is IN MY BELLY!

Seriously, kale chips are crazy delicious, and we make them with a tahini and nutritional yeast-based coating that also works well in stir fries (though not in hummous, as I discovered.)

You know what I say a lot, apparently? “I’m going to get to that in a bit.” Sometimes I mean “in the post about this video.” So when I say you can do this without a dehydrator, I mean, in theory, you can use your oven with the door open at the lowest setting. Try using parchment paper instead of teflex sheets in this case.

How to use a Pressure Cooker

February 23, 2010

We’re back! This week we’re not doing a recipe, but we are going over how to use a valuable piece of the modern kitchen arsenal: the pressure cooker. This thing makes dry beans a real possibility, with 10 minute cooking times instead of the 1-2 hours you’d spend boiling them in a regular pot, which means you save time over cooking dry and money/space over cans!

What do you use your pressure cooker for? How do you like our new “kitchen studio”? What’s next on your “I need to figure this out” list? Let us know in the comments!

Everything in a Cookie

This is the cookie for people who can’t decide on anything, like your host, for example: peanut butter oatmeal raisin chocolate chip. If we put anything else in, we’d legally have to change the name to trail mix.

1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup white flour
1/2 cup carob [...]

Raw Nut Loaf

July 11, 2009

Most raw recipes I see need a lot of planning so you can soak your nuts (heh heh) in advance and whatnot, but this one can be prepared in a hurry. It tastes better after sitting for a few hours, but it’s still pretty good fresh from the pan.

Macaroons

June 6, 2009

It’s part 3 of our holiday extravaganza, and since the main course has been pretty much covered with tofu turkey (which was then pretty much covered with onion gravy), it’s time for dessert. Since the oven’s been booked, here are some macaroons that don’t need baking, but do need protection from roving snackers who wander [...]
