The Vegan Life for the Modern Gentleman
Eetch is a classic Armenian dish made of bulgur wheat which can be served hot or cold. It’s simple, healthy, filling, and also vegan and nut free.
Armenian food really deserves more credit. There are many traditional Armenian dishes that are healthy, delicious, and totally plant based!
However, one iconic Armenian recipe that stands out from the pack is Eetch (also spelled Eech, Itch, or Metch)….
These Vegan Korean Fried Chicken wings are sweet, sticky, spicy, crunchy, and super addicting. Make them with vegan chicken, cauliflower, or tofu for the perfect snack to enjoy with your favorite beer and bowl of rice.
As you may know, I’ve been going through a Vegan Korean food kick lately. My Kimchi Fried Rice and Vegan Tteokbokki are staple go-to meals in our home, but nothing has been as elusive and tantalizing as KFC (Korean Fried Chicken).
So after MUCH recipe testing, sauce making, and vegan chicken eating, I am proud to present to you my recipe for Vegan Korean Fried Chicken 😁👌🏾….
These Vegan Chile Rellenos are coated in a super fluffy batter made from aquafaba, and are crunchy on the outside but moist on the inside. Stuff them with vegan cheese, beans, potatoes, corn, soyrizo, or vegan meat, and top with canned enchilada sauce for a tasty meal anytime!
Living in LA, I’ve had my fair share of good Mexican food.
But tacos and tortas aside, my favorite Mexican dish by far is Chiles Rellenos.
And although I’ve been vegan for over 14 years (yes, I’m an OG vegan✊🏽), I’ve never thought of making Vegan Chile Rellenos at home, until I came across aquafaba….
This vegan dashi gets its super umami powers from kelp (kombu) and shiitake mushrooms and comes together in only 1 hour. This dashi is the perfect recipe starter for your favorite Japanese and Korean dishes, or can be had as a soup on its own!
There was once a time when I blissfully slurped down Miso soups at any Japanese restaurant, thinking “Miso, tofu, spring onions, WCGW?”
Until one day someone pointed out that Miso soup is ALWAYS made of a dashi. And dashi, is almost always made of shaved fish flakes.
After I came to terms with the fact that I was living in blissful ignorance, I set out to learn more about Japanese cuisine (and now ALWAYS double check ingredients, even if the waiter insists it’s “there’s no meat and fish in it”).

This classic rose flavored Indian dessert is like a mash-up between an ice cream sundae and a milkshake. Remix the recipe with vegan fruit jel, soy milk, and vegan ice cream for the perfect Vegan Falooda experience.
I declare 2018 as the year of the Vegan Falooda!
Move over Mango Lassi, this bright pink dessert slash drink slash ice cream sundae is poised to take over an Instagram feed near you!…
These Peanut Butter Cornflake cookies are a perfect vegan snack, and comes together in less than 5 minutes (no baking required and gluten-free option too!).
I have to admit something to you.
I am bad at baking.
There, I said it.
Part of the reason is that it’s too much science. So many ingredients, so much precision. I’ll just stick to cooking where I can mask any mistake with more garlic (mmm, garlic).…
Vegan sun dried tomato pesto. It just sounds so fancy, amiright?
Now a CREAMY vegan sun dried tomato pesto PASTA, you say?
I feel like I should be sitting on a Sicilian beach drinking Limoncello 🍹….
If you’ve been to an Indian restaurant before, you know the usual suspects – naan, samosas, and mango lassi.
But let’s be honest, restaurant style mango lassis are the absolute worst. They’re cheaply made (with canned mango pulp), watered down, and you’ll be hard pressed to find a vegan mango lassi….
I’ve been going through a bit of a Korean food kick lately. As you know, my Kimchi Fried Rice recipe evokes fond memories of binge drinking in college, and is one of my favorite treats when I want something spicy and filling. But I’ve decided to venture deeper into the Korean food world, and this Vegan Tteokbokki (or Vegan Korean Spicy Rice Cake) just might be my new favorite thing! Seriously though, people should be eating more Korean food, amirite!?…
Vegan vs. Keto vs. Paleo – we hear these terms a lot lately. It’s no wonder, since there are so many diets to choose from these days (some of which are based on science and common sense). As our generation becomes more ‘woke’ and better understands that healthy eating should be a lifestyle change, many different tribes have emerged and people have chosen sides. …
