When choosing salmon, always go wild caught – preferably Alaska, as it is swimming in the cleanest waters. Farmed salmon is fed pesticide laden, food dyed pellets and is not an environmentally …
Okay. I just finished making and eating this and I am one HAPPY camper! I added lotus root to this recipe to make it extra special. Lotus root is found in most Asian supermarkets for reasonable prices. It is a deeply symbolic food item with a rich cultural history (check it out). Holy basil is …

Surprisingly, these do not taste strongly of cauliflower; rather they pick up the subtle buttery notes and allow spices such as cracked peppercorn and garlic to shine through.

PCC is the local co-op in Seattle, Washington. This recipe is my favorite use of kale, and is a wonderful dish any time of year. If you live in Seattle, you can usually find this in the deli. YUM! 1 cup uncooked organic wild rice 1/2 cup olive oil 1/2 cup lemon juice 1 teaspoon …
The colors and flavors of this untraditional chili are wonderfully diverse and complex. Like many chilies, this one tastes better the next day!

Too orgasmic to keep to myself, this recipe is taken directly from “A Celebration of Wellness” By James Cederquist and Natalie Levin.
