"alanna kellogg" news and stories

My continuing search for interesting, different and tasty Thanksgiving side dishes has taken me to A Veggie Venture, a food blog written by the very passionate veg evangelist, Alanna Kellogg. Yesterday she posted a recipe for Cauliflower Cream that made me sit up and cast my eyes to my fridge where a lonely cauliflower sits, waiting for a little attention.

This is a great dish, especially if you are looking for ways of incorporating more vegetable and less starch into your Thanksgiving menu. I know that every year my mother tries to come up with ways to reduce the number of bread and potato-based dishes on our table. Most years we revolt and demand that stuffing, mashed potatoes and gingery whipped butternut squash appear. I think I could happily replace our mashed potatoes with this Cauliflower Cream, as I see the spuds mostly as a way of transporting gravy from the plate to my mouth and I do believe this dish could do that just as well as my beloved mashers.

The blog A Veggie Venture was founded on the principle that a vegetable could be eaten in a different way each day of the year. Actually, it started as a month long project and got stretched out due to its own success. It is written by Alanna Kellogg, a food writer who authors the popular Kitchen Parade newspaper column, which was started almost 50 years ago by her mother, as well as writing the Kitchen Parade food blog. This week marked the 365th post in on A Veggie Venture, meaning that Alanna was successful in her goal. Not only did she prepare a vegetable in a new way every day by including them in everything from soups to pancakes, but she provided a great source of veggie recipes. The carrot cookies pictured here are the 365th recipe. Here's to another year of veggie ventures!
