"veggie" news and stories

The vegan loaf generator, which we have mentioned before, is a little application that pairs various combinations of veggies, spices and binders to create veganized "meat"loaves. As strange as that may sound, many of the loaf combinations are delicious and since there are so many options, you can probably make one without having to take an extra trip to the store. But if you don't want the responsibility of selecting the ingredients yourself, there is now an automated mystery loaf generator, which automatically generates loaf combinations and names them. The recipe changes every 5 minutes, so if you don't like a given option, just hang in there and hit refresh. As the site promises, you'll never be "loaflorn" again.

Alanna, who writes the column (and blog) Kitchen Parade, has done it again. Even after cooking through a whole year's worth of different vegetable recipes, she still can come up with more! This Asparagus Custard Tart, for example, is a gorgeous example of what to do with fresh, spring asparagus. The tart is much lighter than a quiche and not nearly as eggy, though still very satisfying. It has a short, simple list of ingredients that blend together to produce a brilliant dish. Alanna slices it into eighths and serves it with a side salad as a main course, but with a fruit salad it could also make a lovely brunch or item. Don't be put off by the crust, either. If you're pastry-challenged, you can use Pillsbury refrigerated dough.
