Family-Friendly Recipes Class
I have some huge news...and a favor to ask. A few days ago I received an email from Mary McDougall of the McDougall Program asking if I would be a part of their Celebrity Chef Weekend. Well, after I checked a few times to make sure that a) she hadn't misaddressed the email and b) I wasn't hallucinating, I wrote her back confessing that I had never given a cooking demonstration before. I don't even watch cooking shows on TV. Plus I get stage fright whenever I have to talk to more than one person at a time. But I told her that if she is willing to take a chance on me, I would love to do it. After all, I owe my both veganism and the theme of this blog to the McDougall Program, which changed my diet for the better about 14 years ago. And though I may not always stick to it as diligently as I should, I know that the program really is the healthiest way for me to eat.So I agreed to come out to Santa Rosa, California, and teach a class on "Family-Friendly Recipes." I intend to focus on easy, low-fat recipes that everyone, particularly children and omnivores, will enjoy. I've got just a few weeks to come up with a menu, and that's where I need your help. If you've cooked something from this blog that your omnivorous family and friends have enjoyed, please drop me a comment and let me know what it was. My daughter has already put in her votes for Mac and Cheese and Lasagna, but I could use some more vegetable-heavy recipe suggestions. Help!
And if you're able to attend, I'd love to see you at the weekend, June 27-29. (I have a hard time typing "Celebrity Chef" in relation to myself, so from now on I will just call it "the weekend.") I think the schedule is still being worked out, but I know for sure that Bryanna Clark Grogan will be there (I'm a huge fan!) You'll also get to meet Dr. John and Mary McDougall and eat some amazing food. Details are available here.
I know that my posts have been scarce this week, but stay tuned. I've got the recipe for my new favorite salad almost finished and should have it posted tomorrow.

Hi,
I've never commented before, but I just wanted to say you'll do great! Your recipes are so tasty and creative. Congrats on the invitation!
Katie
Congratulations! That's amazing news. I think you should be there - your recipes are the best I've found to keep me eating McDougall-style and enjoying it.
Last night, I made your Spring Green Quinoa, and my omni husband (who doesn't care for edamame in the pods) LOVED it and thought the edamame in it tasted delicious.
Also, your Yaki Fu Stew has become a regular dish for us, after my husband declared it to be "one of the best dishes you've ever made." When I get a rave review like that from him on a low-fat vegan meal, it automatically becomes one of our staples.
I also loved your Korean grilled eggplants with the BBQ sauce (can't remember the exact name of the dish).
Have fun at "the weekend." I know you'll do a great job!
Susan,
CONGRATULATONS!! That is the most amazing news. I am sure you'll be fabulous! Wish I lived closer so I could come be in the audience. They will all love you (and the recipes)!
That's great! You'll be fine. I'm really shy so I can empathize, but I know it's always the anticipation and worry that's worse than anything. I only recently discovered your blog so I can't help you with my favorites. I do have your banana coffee cake in the oven right now though! I can't wait to eat it!
Hi Susan,
My husband and I are no-red-meat-omnivores, and we positively LOVE your food! Favorites from the blog include Pink Bean & Quinoa soup, and the chocolate/orange cake.
-Andrea T.
Congratulations! That should be lots of fun. I've also never given any type of cooking demo, but there's always a first time, right? I'm sure you will be great.
Congratulations, Susan!
My family and I have been following your blog for a long time (though we're not vegan). Our favorites our your yellow split-pea soup with sweet potatoes and kale, international quinoa salad, mushroom and kale polenta lasagna, impossible pumpkin/cushaw pie, shiny happy carrot hummus, quinoa paella, stormy black bean soup, and thick and hearty pinto bean chili.
By the way, I clicked on your gluten-free label to remind myself of all your yummy gf dishes - and some were missing like the impossible pie, which does have a gf tag on it. Hmmm...
Some of these will definitely be on the menu this week! Thank you for meatless, yummy, and healthy meals!
Congratulations!! As someone who uses your recipes more than any in any cookbook I own I am thrilled that you are getting this recognition.
My faves that I make all the time are, first from the baking side ...Chai Coconut breakfast cake, Impossible Pumpkin Pie and the best are of course the Skinny Figgy bars, we make them more often than anything.
We are also very fond of your soup recipes as we a big soup eaters. Favorites there are, Mexican Pumpkin, Southwestern Yellow Split pea, Thai Coconut, Yellow Split Pea with Sweet Potato and Kale and Vindaloo Veggies.
Plus I agree with your daughter on the Mac and Cheese.
Hope this helps and good luck.
Susan, congratulations!! You definitely deserve it - I have tried so many delicious recipes on your site! I loved the smoky refried bean soup - this was brought to an office potluck, and everyone loved it. Good luck at the weekend!
My vote is for the individual quiches -- they are delicious and a good recipe to try for all those who had bad experiences with nutritional yeast.
My only other suggestion is that I find so many of their recipes bland which is hard for many people to get excited about. You may want to introduce folks to some of your more flavorful recipes -- you certainly are not afraid of spices! Best wishes!
Gold Rush Chili! Everyone I know absolutely loves it, especially when I tell them they can top it with cheese and sour cream (or fat-free yogurt). Great recipe!
congratulations!!! you will be awesome, I know it.
we love your Quinoa-guts recipe - healthy, quick, kid-friendly (I think). in fact kids might love the name, too :) another top favorite at our home are your red bean-chipotle burgers. fast, east, can be frozen and reheated, tasty - what's not to love?
Hi Susan,
I've followed your site for several years and mix and match your recipes with Mary McDougalls. I've given your site to many friends & family who ask me for healthy, good recipes. I love many of your recipes, a favorite is the Quinoa Vegetable Paella; it's always a hit. This Celebrity Weekend sound like it will be a hit. Congratulations.
Susan, I have to second E's lasagna vote - I've brought it to many, many places where omnis abound and ALWAYS get rave reviews. I think it might be the most "omni friendly" think on your blog. As far as personal favorites, I'm a devoted fan of your asparagus pesto pasta salad. I love it - and I have to second (or third) the yellow split pea with sweet potatoes and kale soup. I've loved all the deserts I've made - and oh yeah, I make the southwestern spaghetti squash casserole all the time.
but really, it's an embarrassment of riches here on this blog. I've only made one thing from your website I wasn't wild about and it was probably my fault for making it wrong, so you could probably just pick a recipe at random and it would be a hit!
Your Barbecued Seitan Ribz were a huge hit with my entire family, and I'm the only one who's even a vegetarian! My meat loving, bean- and vegetable-fearing brother requested that I make them a second time, and he and his (also omni) friends were eating the cold leftovers while watching baseball. I love that they can be cooked on the grill, which lets us veggies not feel so left out during family or neighborhood barbecues. They're also quick and easy and don't really require any special ingredients.
First time I make a comment...Mac and cheese, big time!!! My boyfriend, which is omnivore, had the mac and cheese last week, and he was amazed by the taste and the looks like of the "real" stuff...keep good job!!!
AWESOME!!!! I am so thrilled for you... what a great honor..
How bout your eggplant parm?
Definitely your goddess dressing..
Hello Susan and Congratulations! You're an absolute genius at soups so it would be a crime not to include a soup (so much flavor, so many veggies, so few calories!). I'm obsessed with your Garden Gumbo, so my vote goes there. The Asparagus Pesto Pasta Salad and Mini Crustless Quiches are also amazing. Good luck!
Oh my! Congrats! That is so great, Susan! AND, I have finally gotten around to reading my Jan issue of Vegetarian Times (I know, I know! I have been so busy!), so congratulations *again* on having your blog mentioned! That is so cool! I know you mentioned it on the blog, but to actually see it in print in front of me as I was working out (multi-tasking as ever!) was SO neat!
Well, all of your recipes are fantastic, of course, but some of my favorites have been:
The mini tofu quiches
Ethiopian red lentil soup
Yellow split-pea soup with sweet potatoes and kale
Spinach and artichoke pie (amazing!)
Baked spinach Kofta
Cauliflower mushroom marranca
Ful medames (YUM!)
Kale and toor dal (really, any of your dals, they are all great)
Monterey frittata
There are so many, but those are definitely some of my favorites!
I wish I could attend, but I hope that you have a fun time. I know that you will do great--what an honor!!
Courtney
I'm very excited for you! I LOVE your green on green soup. It's amazing. I also make the portabella and lentil soup every week. Good luck!
Hi Susan!
Without a doubt you should make the mini quiches! I have been a veg 22 years and a vegan 18 of those and these are one of my all-time faves! For me they replace the more tedious, less flavorful Lindsay Wagner shepard's omelet recipe which I used to love a whole lot! This is the first recipe I have made and I look forward to many more. I also really enjoy reading your blog and your pics are AMAZING! I am happy that you are getting well desreved recognition from many avenues. When you posted this blog, I bet you didn't know all the love you would be getting! Great work!!! I can't remember my user name-woops-Kath Mullen
How very exciting for you! And what a huge opportunity. Your Quinoa Vegetable Paella has been a huge hit with everyone (omni friends and family - including my 13 year old daughter) every time I have made it. Not to mention, it's a totally McDougall legal dish - whole foods, no added fats . . .
Woo Hoo! This site has been so helpful to me in walking this path. I strive to stay McDougall and more than anyone you have helped me do that. Congrats! I second the Goddess Dressing suggestion. I make a double batch with the whole box of tofu and no water and whatever veggies my CSA sends around. It comes out a dip/spread consistency which is great on everything from sandwiches to pasta. I then take some of the dip and put it in a jar with a lid with water and shake it up for dressing so I have both. I got the double recipe idea from Mary McD so I know she is a big fan of that recipe too. My other vote is roasted tomato soup. My local market had a sale on that pricey main ingredient and I filled my pantry. Since the Mac and Cheese is getting so many votes the tomato soup might work well on the same menu. Talk about comfort food...
Congrats! I really admire the McDougalls. Your gold rush chili was a huge hit at my house as well as your Mexican lasagna! Yum!
hey cool!
That's great!
I wonder if I would be able to come up. I live about 3 hours south of Santa Rosa... What fun it would be to meet you and Bryanna!!
Congrats on being invited!
:) Amey
Yes, you definitely deserve to be there. In my family, there is "their" food and "my" food. However, for my birthday recently we all ate Aspargus Pesto Pasta and everyone loved it.
Good luck!
Wow Susan, I'm so happy for you!
The McDougalls and Bryanna! That will be an amazing day for you :)
I would suggest your Eggplant Lasagna, which I absolutely love!
Keep us updated!!!
P.S. Thanks for the tip about commenting when you are a subscriber :)
Susan ... congratulations!! WHAT an exciting opportunity. I too am terribly shy, but have given informal cooking lessons around here, and find that when I'm talking about food and cooking and recipes with other people who love food and cooking and recipes, that the "stage fright" aspect isn't present as it is with other public speaking that I've had to do.
Anyway, my hands down favorite of all time ever, ever is your Vegan Omelette For One.
Like others have said, I too, sure wish I lived closer (I'm in NC). To see you and Bryanna and the McDougalls all in one place would be SUCH a weekend!
Wow! That's so cool! I have made your little quiches 8 million times in so many different ways - they've always been a hit with a mixed crowd.
Hi Susan,
Congratulations. I love your blog and I often make your recipes. My favourites (and the favourites for those around me, vegan, vegetarian and omni)are:
Impossible pumpkin pie (I have SO many requests for this one from many different people.
Farmer's Market Quinoa
unstuffed baby eggplants This one is good because I can never be bothered being too fiddly about stuffing vegetables.
Pasta and Vegetables with Peanut Sauce - so easy but so delicious!!
I am way too far away (Australia) to come but I hope it goes really well.
Cheers
Georgia
Congrats!! I can't wait to see what you choose to make. You better post the menu ; )
Wow, Susan, congratulations!! I am so pleased more people will get exposed to your great recipes, and don't be too nervous--just think of your blog entries as basic "scripts"--you are so good at explaining things and giving tips and alternatives--you'll be great!!
I'd like to second and third many of the recipes others have suggested. Of course the lasagne--it's been an absolutey delightful hands-down hit with vegetarian and omnivore alike--including the tough audience of my ex-husband who was here for our son's college graduation.
I like the suggestion someone else made about paring the roasted tomato soup with the mac and cheese, too.
Other essentials I'd second from what I've tied:
figgy bars
goddess dressing
mexican pumpkin soup
red bean chipotle burgers
black bean burgers
mini crustless tofu quiches
asparagus pesto
ethiopian lentil stew
and here are a few vegetable rich recipes I really like that haven't been mentioned I think would work well in introducing new or interestingly spiced or just plain delicious ways to eat your veggies:
tofu and vegetable cacciatore on roasted spaghetti sauce. (This was a huge surprise to me. It was the first time I really loved spaghetti squash, and I think others would enjoy being introduced to cooking it this way. The cacciatore was the first time I had ever used frozen tofu, and that was delight in this recipe, too. It kept well, and just tasted better every day. Next time I will share it with someone else.
creole black eyed peas:these are very good, and my son and his girlfriend liked them, too. Also, being a transplanted native Californian, and never having lived in the south, I enjoyed learning they are a new year's tradition there, and I think people in California would enjoy learning about this way to eat black-eyed peas. Simple but really good.
Another very simple thing I've learned from your food blog is how to roast vegetables. That's been very useful and is a nice addition to any meal--they are great with your baba ganoush, too. I'm sure others would like to see how doable and tasty this sort of thing can be.
Congratulations, Susan! They'll be lucky to have you there. lol
Hi again Susan--
Here's another simple idea that I think would be fun for your class. Since, as other people have mentioned, you are adept at spicing up recipes, it would be nice to maybe bring some spices and have people make their own jar of Ethiopian spice mix to take home with them--or another spice blend you use, if you prefer. I enjoyed making that up and smelling all the smells as I went, and it made me excited to try the stew out even more. And I learned an how an unusual combination of spices can work together. And now i have a small jar of spice treasure all ready for whenever I want to make it again. I think that would be a nice thing for people to take home with them from the class.
And also, I know you love eggplant--I do too--and it was a magical experience the first time I roasted a whole eggplant according to your directions for making baba ganoush--to just see how the skin peels off and how it smells, the texture of it--it always helps ease any jitters when speaking to a group to talk about or share something you love--so be sure to get some eggplant into the class, too!!
some tips from an old teacher. . .:) lol
Susan,
Though our family is not vegetarian, we include a fair number of vegetarian and vegan meals in our diet... for lots of reasons (good for the planet, healthy, we like them). And because our ancestors had bodies that were efficient at storing calories (i.e. fat), we focus on low and no fat food. So though we are not typical fans, we try many of the recipes posted on your site. We also serve meals to our children's friends, their families, etc., so we have a pretty good idea of food with a broad appeal.
Currently, your beefless stew is at the top of our list. When we want people to fuss over the meal, we add appetizers before the meal (mixed sliced veggies, dip, olives, rye crisps), homemade, crusty bread (try almost-no-knead bread with beer) with the stew, and wind everything up with warm apple crisp and coffee.
Sue
What an accomplishment Karen - I applaud you! You are going to have a great time and I just know you are not going to let those nerves get the best of you.
As a vegetarian / borderline vegan for nearly 13 years, thought your lasagna is fantastic, is always seems like that is the generic pick for an entree for veggie-heads like us. So, I would maybe do the mac & cheese but not that and the lasagna - too predictable.
Given that you are all about nutrition and trying out new things, I would opt for some of your other dishes that are still family friendly but have some great new ingredients like quinoa, or edamame, or thai eggplants, or tofu.
Goodness knows your healthy, tasty, collection of diverse recipes is staggering so I'm sure you will pick several great ones for your demonstration.
GOOD LUCK!
WOW Awesome You will be great. My vote is for Asparagus Pesto Pasta Salad. Even my non vegan family members love it.
Susan, congratulations! This is a great opportunity for you - enjoy! Cauliflower Dal with Panch Phoran has been my favorite recipe from your site. The bouncing seeds might make for a fun presentation, and I remember you said your daughter liked it (and it is vegetable-focused). But you also pointed out that you had trouble getting a pretty picture out of all that yellow-ness. But maybe if you add a little paprika or something that will take it more to the red? Anyway, have fun and good luck!
Congratulations, Susan. How fun! 3 of your recipes came to mind. The first is your Hearty Macaroni Dinner. It may not be as vegetable-heavy as you are looking for, but even my difficult-to-please 14-year-old daughter loves it. The next one is your Pasta and Vegetables with Peanut Sauce. My whole family enjoys it, and I make it even more family-friendly (in terms of quick and easy!) by using 2 bags of frozen vegetables (I usually use one bag of broccoli florets and one bag of stir-fry mix). The third recipe that came to mind is your Refried Bean Soup. It was another big hit with my family. Good luck!
My omnivorious friends have given rave reviews to the pink bean, quinoa soup and spinach soup as well as the chocolate orange cake. Good luck Susan!
Well, after months of reading your blog, trying your recipes, and always enjoying them, I recently began trying to stick to the MacDougall plan. Previously, I had been a vegan for purely ethical purposes and ate whatever, whenever, provided that it was vegan. Anyway, I have used a number of your recipes as part of the new diet, and, of course, they were all very good, but the one that I would recommend above all others is your White Bean Garlic Stew. It was very easy and delicious and fits so well into the plan. I agree with your daughter that your lasagna is a real omni-pleaser, though I think it would be better made with spinach in place of the lasagna noodles to fit with MacDougall, and I have only tried it with the actual lasagna noodles. Anyway, congrats on being chosen for the demonstration! It sounds like a great time!
Goodness! That's SO exciting!
It's been a little while since I made anything of yours (lately I've just been baking, no idea why)but two of my favorites are your quinoa paella (I forget the full name, sorry) and that Spaghetti Squash Casserole...
Hi Susan,
You deserve this!
You will do an awesome job.
I just want to wish you a Special Mother's day and a heartfelt thank you for making my job of Cooking for my family SO easy and delicious.
Now that I have returned to eating a vegan diet-as I have been inspired by my daughter.
(I don't know about the other aspects as I just found a brand new pair of Doc Martens at the thrift store for $10-)
Your recipes always satisfy- can't really narrow it down!
I am eating the Collard greens and white bean soup right now and it is yummy.
The Vegan Magic Squares were a big hit at the teen gathering yesterday.
The Mac & Cheez-the kids couldn't get enough of.
Wish I were more help!
You help us eat good food every day.
:-)
Em
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. My votes go to quiche and Stuffed eggplants and not so dirty rice....MMMMMMMMMMMM
I have taken the mexican lasagna and the garden gumbo to omni-potlucks with GREAT success. Also, the Coconut Chai Breakfast Cake was a huge success with my omni family. And while I personally love the mini quiches, those didn't go over so well with some of my omni friends. I think the tofu, nutritional yeast and tahini were all too new of flavors for their tastebuds to handle at once. Just some thoughts!
congratulations, Susan!
I've liked every recipe of yours that I've tried! Let's see... date bars, BBQ ribz, pineapple cake, everything you do with beans, tempeh... I wish I could be in Santa Rosa to see this, but maybe you'll have videos to post!
Things our ominivore kid-packed family regularly eats - thanks to Fat Free Vegan:
Moong Dal
Hummus
All Muffins ever posted :0)
tostadas
mexican lasagna (or mex. casserole?)
stuffed eggplants (which I also use zucchini - little ones, or pool cue ones
crustless pumpkin pie
Much luck with your demonstration
You will do awesome, Susan. I know it can be frightening. I did a food demonstration 2 weeks ago today at the convention for the massage therapy school Ken and I attended. It went so well, and guess what? They've asked me to teach the nutrition course at the school! So, you never know where this can lead! Good luck to you.
How about those green smoothies we are all so crazy about, Susan. I don't think you can teach anything any better for them than those. I chose to demonstrate the smoothies, I made a salad with your green goddess dressing and I made vegan pizzas on whole wheat tortillas with fire roasted tomato sauce that I reduced down with green peppers and pineapple. Delicious!
You'll come up with the right things!
Best to you! YEAH for Susan!
Wow, congrats! I love all the recipes I've tried from your blog, I can't really narrow one down. I've never been disappointed. Sorry that doesn't help much.
Good luck!
I've read your blog for over a year, but haven't posted on it. I just had to say congrats!! That is awesome! I wish I lived in CA!
Congratulations Susan! See, you are famous and you didn't even know it :-) My vote is for Cauliflower Dal with Panch Phoran and North African Chickpea and Kale soup. I simply can't get enough of either.
Kelleen
I agree with "~m" on the suggestion of International Quinoa Salad. It's one of my favorites EVER!
Congrats by the way! Your excitement (and fear :P) are understandable! I've been wanting to go to a McDougall event for a while, now may be the time!
Susan - congratulation!! This is big!
My 2 most visited sites are you and McDougall!! You will do GREAT! I wish they would film you and make another cooking DVD so, so we would all be able to see you! I would suggest:
Spring green Quinoa, Split pea soup, and yes - definatelly Lasagna (go E., go E.) and for desert, something I made just yesterday and it was gone in 60 seconds - Banana coffe cake!
Awesome! Will think of you at the end of June!
Polona
Congratulations!! You have so many delicious recipes (though I have only tried a few). I second the idea of , have fun there.using eggplant in whatever you're going to make, since you seem to love that!
I'm sure you'll do great and it'll be a wonderful experience - have fun there!
Congratulations Susan!
I know it is not vegetable-heavy, but I wanted to give a strong recommendation for the mini quiches!
Congratulations! I'm sure you will overcome your fright and just do what you love so well. They will adore you out there!
I'm putting in my two cents for your quiche recipe, and your carribbean quinoa. Both won RAVE reviews from my meat-eating family members and friends.
Also your RIBZ rule this earth and we eat them at least twice a month here.
That's great news Susan! Congratulations!
I love everything I've ever made from FfVK, but my favorites are the Quinoa Veggie Paella and Green on Green Soup. Although the latter may not be as omni or kid friendly as the former.
Looking forward to see what you come up with. Hopefully someone will take video of your demo for those of us who can't make it!
My husband and I are new to the vegan diet. We have tried a handful of your recipes along with the Mcdougal recipes and one of our new favorites is the smokey bean soup. Yum! I just made it along with the chocolate-orange cake for a friend who just had a baby and they also loved it. Thank you for everything that you do! You help make it fun and easy to eat a low-fat vegan diet!
Oh, my goodness! Congratulations!! I LOVE your blog, and I don't think I've ever commented before, but... I wanted to tell you that my largely carniverous husband loved the Asparagus and Mushroom Quiche with a Brown Rice Crust. I do have to say, though, that I added some Gimme Lean soy sausage and also a wee bit of cayenne pepper to it. SOOO good, and even fab the next day for lunch!
That is SO cool, Susan! Congratulations!!!
ruth d.
This is exciting news! Congrats!
On a regular basis, we make:
1) The white bean garlic soup
and
2) Gold Rush Chili
These are super easy and always crowd-pleasing!
I wish you the very best!
Celeste
Susan, I think the Asparagus Pesto Pasta Salad is a good one, and is loved by vegans and omnivores alike.
I didn't scroll through all the responses, but my vote would be for some quick and easy desserts.
First up: Chocolate a l'orange Mousse Pie. This is one of the first desserts I made after going vegan, and my omni parents love it.
Second: Peach Upside Down Cake. Quick, easy, tasty, and beautiful. What's not to like. Plus, it's just fruit and cake, so there is no dairy equivalent to compare to (like a cheesecake, say) so this one is always a winner.
Congratulations, Susan! I'm sure you'll have a great time. I've been to the 10 day and to one day of a weekend, and really enjoyed the cooking demos. Actually, the 10 day was funny. I was the most "hardcore" home cook there and, not surprisingly, the most vocal. (Ha!) Jill (used to do their program) wanted participation to create something on the spot. No one else would speak up, so she and I created the dish. It was delish!
Just pretend the audience all read your blog and already love ya.
Susan!
That is such wonderful news! I have been a fan of both you and the McDougalls for some time. I am sure you will do well with your wonderful food. Please post the menu!
Hi Susan - that's great! I have made a few of your recipes, always excellent. I'm not much of a cook so I tend to stick with one-pot type recipes, most of your pressure cooker soups and such.
By all means, your hearty split pea soup is just awesome! I usually omit the liquid smoke mostly because I prefer pea soup without the smokey taste -- but it's really good, so easy to make, and would suit all types of eaters I think.
Congrats, Susan! If *you're* going to be there, I will seriously consider attending.
awesome news! you are a celebrity in my mind and on the Eat to Live forum as well...we love your recipes!
you'll do well...i'm so sure
all the best
Wow, you really know how to drag someone out of lurkdom. You just have to make your seitein ribz. I made it following your recipe, but I used my George Foremen grill. Delicioso! So many people are ignorant to seitein, and it's capabilities! Your recipe, gave me a newfound love in it.
Congrats!
Necia
*pokes you*
hey, did you know you're on the home page of Dr. McDougall's site? About half way down!
very excited for you!
Congrats!
Congratulations... I've been following McDougall for a while and your website provides great inspiration and recipes!
Fav's (so far...!):
Pineapple coffee cake
French Lentil and Mushroom stew
Sugar-free coconut chai breakfast cake
Skinny Figgy bars
Good luck - you'll be great!
Congrats on "the weekend!" How excititng! I am new to your site and haven't published a comment before, but I had to share that I have made your sweet and sour noodles for both my omni husband (who, until this recipe, woulndn't even try tofu) and a supper club of eight omni women friends of mine. Both times, I had rave reviews! The women begged for the recipe and my husband now asks for "those vegan noodles" pretty regularly!
Congrats on being asked to participate the celebrity chef weekend....As a fairly new Vegan (a few months in), you website have been my lifesaver. I love, love, love all your recipes. Anything you make will be delicious. I would love to see you demo the Seitan ribs/or the Mac n Cheeze. Both a little daunting for a new vegan. You are a real inspriation to me and I have 3 homemade cookbooks of vegan recipes now, many of which are yours. I am lucky enough to BE attending the Celebrity Chef Weekend with my husband and I look forward to seeing you there. My name is Diane Barnett and I will come up and introduce myself to you. I look forward to meeting you...
Congrats!! I've never posted on your blog before. My name is Tara, and I have been reading your blog for almost a year now. I'm addicted. I love what you do, and I've tried so many of your recipes. Our latest taste last week was the enchilada casserole. YUM! My husband said I can make that any time now. haha
I wanted to tell you that because of your post about the Celebrity Chef Weekend, I went to check out the whole event. And now I'm registered and coming!! What day are you presenting on? I noticed your name isn't on the schedules I've seen. I'm so excited though, and I can't wait to meet.
