		<description><![CDATA[Jesus, is it already the end of March? I swear time is flying out the window. Well, we’re here together now, so let’s make the most of it with another vegan recipe. From me to you. Using my vanilla cake recipe, I made its cocoa counterpart and folded in 2/3 cups melted chocolate chips. A cake this decadent deserves an equally sinful frosting. And nothing says “Oh. My. God.” like chocolate and pistachios. Don’t believe me? Make a pistachio marzipan sometime and coat it in chocolate. We’ll talk after you change your drawers. This frosting is no easy feat as compared to opening a store-bought can of frosting (clutch the pearls) or making something with powdered sugar, shortening, soy milk, and extracts. There are steps. Oh, how there are steps to making this frosting! Hand to God, set aside at least 4 hours.

		<description><![CDATA[Today I awoke with a craving for waffles. And tho’ I loves me some Isa Moskowitz and Terry Romero for all their vegan cookbooks &#38; recipes, I wanted waffles that didn’t require ground flax seeds or pumpkin purée. We had a container of soy yogurt in the refrigerator and it makes a great substitution for sour cream. And sour cream waffles greatly satisfy any waffle craving: crispy outside, custardy inside. When Isa and Terry couldn’t provide me the recipe I required, I went looking online. 101 Cookbooks posted a recipe for Sour Cream Waffles from Back to the Table: The Reunion of Food and Family by Art Smith (Hyperion, 2001). With a few modifications to Art’s recipe, I had a vegan version that’s easy to prepare: 1¾ cups all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder ½ teaspoon salt 8 tablespoons (1 stick) &#8230; <a href="http://www.jhames.com/hearsay/life/vegan-waffles-that-don%e2%80%99t-suck/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is my second attempt at baking bread. Before I had a chance to photograph my first attempt, Justin was already in the kitchen with a bread knife making quick work of the loaf I baked in a proper loaf pan. These loaves were permitted to sit on a cool rack long enough for me to snap this photo with my iPhone. Then Justin took to them with a bread knife. In all my years of cooking and baking, I had never attempted baking bread from scratch. I think it had everything to do with my mom baking whole wheat bread at home. No matter how amazing the bread smelled whilst baking, that loaf came out hard as a rock and resembled a similar density. I know that white flour is eschewed by all proper gay homes but baking with whole wheat flour just &#8230; <a href="http://www.jhames.com/hearsay/life/vegan-betty/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sorry for the lack of recipes, I was busy redesigning my website. You know how those things can be. And, please, don’t even get me started on Google Analytics failing on W3C validation. Jesus. As much as we use Vegan with a Vengeance and The Veganomicon in the kitchen, I can’t say I’m a fan of their recipes for cookies. Specifically, chocolate chip cookies. The cornerstone of any American childhood if you grew up in the ’burbs and your mom was only eager to bake you cookies unlike some mothers I’ve known that were still sleeping off the previous night’s binger. But I digress. When it comes to chocolate chip cookies, it’s almost impossible to improve the recipe for Nestlé® Toll House® chocolate chip cookies. Which I’m sure has everything to do with ungodly copyright laws enacted by Nestlé and its cabal of lawyers.

		<description><![CDATA[One of the best things about living in Seattle is the Vietnamese culture. Unlike Americanized “Chinese” food, Vietnamese dishes rely heavily on fresh vegetables and herbs. One of my favorite Vietnamese classics is bánh mì, a baguette sammich filled with fried tofu, sliced jalapeño peppers, spears of cucumber and pickled daikon radish &#38; carrots, and fresh cilantro. What makes this sammich even better is the cost: $1.75 at my favorite Vietnamese deli. Cheaper than a taco truck and much more filling. Making tofu bánh mì at home is easier than you think. The most time-intensive part of this recipe is making the pickled daikon and carrot. Everything else comes together quickly if you have all your ingredients prep’d. Ingredients for tofu bánh mì: Baguettes: if you have access to a Việt grocery store, you’ll find these baguettes in the baked goods area. Or simply purchase &#8230; <a href="http://www.jhames.com/hearsay/life/food-bites-no-17-banh-mi/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A couple years ago when I visited Milan, Italy I dined at the restaurant Joia where I sampled some of the most inventive vegan meals I’ve ever experienced. It’s a shame, really, that I had to travel to another continent just to enjoy a vegan meal that celebrates vegetables rather than replicate a meat dish. But I digress. Blub (pronounced bloob) is aptly named for the sound the soup makes as you eat it. Yes, Blub is a soup. But not just any soup. Blub is a layered soup, one that you eat without stirring together the ingredients. In order to eat Blub just right, you will need a tall glass instead of a bowl (a 12-oz glass is perfect for one serving!). I won’t like to you: there is quite a bit of prep work that goes into the making of Blub, and knowing the &#8230; <a href="http://www.jhames.com/hearsay/life/food-bites-no-16-blub/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I loves me some Indian food. Ever since high school when I attended Sunday prasadam at the Hare Krsna temple, I made an effort to learn how to prepare Indian-style cooking at home. The smells and flavors of spices in Indian cooking are as vast as the people of India. My favorite dish, when I ate cheese with aplomb, was saag paneer: creamed spinach with cheese curds. The English translation simply doesn’t do this dish justice. The spicy mixture of spinach is tempered with the curds perfectly fried to a golden brown. For years I tried to recreate this recipe at home but never successfully made what I ate in restaurants. Then, one day, whilst shopping at a spice market in Berkeley, I asked a woman in the store how I could make saag paneer at home. Her face lit up like Diwali and she &#8230; <a href="http://www.jhames.com/hearsay/life/food-bites-no-15-saag-paneer/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday as I was cleaning the kitchen I lifted a 50 lb bag of flour without bending my knees. There is such a huge bag of flour in the kitchen because it’s fall which allows for cooking and baking without roasting like root vegetables. My back decided to repay my bad decision-making skills with a humdinger of a lower back ache. So listen when you are told repeatedly by people to always bend your knees whilst lifting heavy objects, for God’s sake listen. With that said, enjoy this recipe for cookies made with chocolate chips and cornflakes. As you can imagine, substitutions abound. Go crazy. Ingredients 1 cup vegan butter or margarine 1/2 cup evaporated cane sugar 1 tsp vanilla 1/8 tsp salt 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 Tbsp water 2 cups flour 3/4 crumbled corn flakes 12 oz or 1 pkg semi-sweet &#8230; <a href="http://www.jhames.com/hearsay/life/food-bites-no-14-chocolate-crunchies/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fun facts about vegetable proteins! Protein sources for veg*ns come from a variety of sources, the most obvious being tofu which is a cake made from coagulated soy milk. Tempeh is the whole soybean which is fermented and pressed into a cake form. Soybeans and other legumes provide a lot of protein which, when combined with whole grains and rice, become complete proteins and provide veg*ns with essential amino acids. Another source of protein for veg*ns is wheat gluten, otherwise known as its macrobiotic title seitan. Veg*n restaurants may use seitan to create all sorts of fake meat dishes but it’s almost a little too eerie how well the texture of meat is replicated. I enjoy the versatility of seitan in vegan dishes, and making it at home is not at that complicated. You can follow the time-intensive process of washing vital wheat gluten &#8230; <a href="http://www.jhames.com/hearsay/life/food-bites-no-13-hail-seitan/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last night’s dinner was one of those impromptu meals where you have leftovers in the refrigerator you’d hate to see go to waste: roasted spaghetti squash with plenty left after our initial meal; carrots from the farmer’s market in the crisper drawer; and a large bag of onions. I decided that the best fate for these vegetables was to make patties—a homemade Gardenburger® if you will. Carrots can be spiced in any number of ways but I find that squash has its limits. Thankfully, curry works well with both carrots and squash. With a little ingenuity, and a lot of stuff in the cupboard, I put together the following recipe for curry patties. Ingredients 1 spaghetti squash, roasted 2-3 medium carrots, peeled 1 medium onion, grated 1 15 oz can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped 1/4 cup garbanzo flour 1 Tbsp &#8230; <a href="http://www.jhames.com/hearsay/life/food-bites-no-12-veggie-curry-patties/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>
