Vegan Instant Pot Split Pea Soup with Porcini Mushrooms
This is a super easy way to make a vegan version of my favorite childhood soup. You just throw all of the ingredients into your Instant Pot, and within a few minutes, you’ll be enjoying a comforting bowl of rich split pea soup.
Vegan Spicy “Crab” Sushi Rolls (Vegan Sushi 101)
Finding inspired vegan sushi can be a challenge, unless you are blessed to have an amazing vegan sushi restaurant in your town (shout out to SHIZEN!). I find that most of the time I’m limited to rolls containing various permutations of avocado and cucumber. I miss the days when I could get all sorts of crazy Americanized sushi rolls, covered in spicy mayo sauces and filled with a variety of textured ingredients. This recipe is a first of what I hope will be many veganized sushi rolls. The “crab” mixture I use here can be used in so many other rolls, and even makes a great topping on an English muffin.

Vegan Breakfast Crunchwrap (Vegan Taco Bell)
Who doesn’t love having all of their favorite savory breakfast foods wrapped up in a tortilla and grilled? I know I do. So, that’s why I decided to take a crack at veganizing Taco Bell’s Breakfast Crunchwrap. I went on their website, found out everything they stuff inside, and then I came up with vegan alternatives for everything that wasn’t already vegan (the tortilla). In this video, I reveal all of my secrets. This breakfast contraption is seriously epic, and comes together in no-time flat. Faster than you could drive to Taco Bell (and then back home again, disappointed because they don’t have a vegan breakfast option) you could be chowing down on this wrap in the comfort of your very own home.
Vegan Crab Cake Sliders with Spicy Maple-Dijon Sauce (Hot For Food recipe)
I have to give 100% of the credit for this recipe to Lauren Toyota at Hot for Food. Her vegan “crab” cake recipe was the first recipe I made when I went vegan. And fast forward to today: I’m still vegan! I have taken her original recipe and ran with it a bit; turning the artichoke heart “crab” cakes into delicious sliders that are perfect to serve to your carnivorous friends at your next get together. To balance out the brightness of the cakes, I have created a spicy maple-dijon sauce that turn these already profound cakes into disappearing party food.
Vegan Air Fryer 101: General Tso’s Cauliflower (and tofu), Nashville Hot Tofu (and cauliflower), and Vegan Ranch Dip
Many people have been asking me for vegan recipes to cook in an air-fryer. This “recipe” is more of a guide on how to bread and air-fry pretty much anything, from vegetables to tofu to mock meats. I give you a basic binder recipe, made from chickpea flour, and I talk you through using panko bread crumbs to create a crispy coating. I have created two recipes for you, General Tso’s and Nashville Hot, that showcase how you can use this breading and turn veggies into delicious, healthy, crispy meals.
Vegan Dan Dan Noodles (Spicy Sichuan Noodles with Seitan)
Dan Dan Noodles are a pungent, spicy and complex Sichuan dish. I had them for the first time a few years ago, and ever since that first taste, I knew I had to find a recipe. However, many of the recipes out there call for a number of hard-to-find ingredients that I have never really wanted to track down. I stumbled upon a recipe at The Woks of Life a few months ago, and it seemed easy enough to make, and easy enough to veganize. So, here it is. This recipe comes together pretty quick, and it’s definitely greater than the sum of its parts. The “meat” part of this recipe can take many forms. I’ve used seitan in this recipe, but you could swap in hydrated TVP, mushrooms, or even tofu.
