Corn Chowder
Do you ever get a craving for simple, wholesome chowder? I don’t know if it’s because I’m in Ireland, but corn chowder is a staple in my kitchen these days.

Tofu Scramble
This is my take on the famed tofu scramble. The recipe is very much a baseline for other flavors. For example, the dish can easily be turned into a masala scramble by adding spice blends and a bit of nut milk. That has been a favorite of mine lately. Try it. Test it. Tell me… Continue reading Tofu Scramble
