Herbed tofu feta cheese is a flavorful, healthful, DIY vegan take on traditional feta cheese. It’s a perfect addition to any grain bowl, salad, wrap, or pasta dish! It’s a snap to make and is easy to store. As I continue to wade through a long, murky period of recipe writer’s block, I find myself relying a lot on every day staples. By “staples,” I mean good dressings, dips, simple whole grains, pots of beans or lentils. Foods that aren’t quite a meal…

It takes a lot of cooking to make me tired of cooking, but I think I’m there. All things considered, I probably eat out and order less takeout than other New Yorkers. But having the option of a night off from the kitchen is a privilege that I’m suddenly feeling the absence of. This is good reason to rely on store-bought helpers whenever I can, and also to streamline my recipes when possible. Today’s tofu and udon noodle salad with spring vegetables is…

Technically speaking, this is the first autumn in ten whole years that I haven’t been starting a fresh semester of full or part-time graduate school. Even so, the fall can’t help but evoke back-to-school season and everything that implies: new beginnings, renewed energy, organization. And into the category of organization we can definitely group meal…

A few weeks ago, a friend and I met for lunch at Maman here in the city. It was cold—in typical April-in-New-York fashion, we’ve been vacillating between damp and chilly and summery warmth—and the restaurant was drafty. We huddled over cups of tea and had some much needed catch-up time. We were both out of…

My slow cooker has been a very good friend to me throughout the last twelve weeks of clinical work. I rarely use it overnight on weeknights the way I used to, mostly because I have to rush in the morning (and don’t want to clean it). But it’s a wonderful helper on weekends, when I’m…
