Stroopwafel Valentine

A traditional Dutch recipe, you can find the delicious round Stroopwafels nearly anywhere in the Netherlands, usually a stack of them for one or two euros. This was my sister Marguerite’s favorite snack while she was in Holland, resting a stroopwafel by over a warm cup of coffee or tea…the steam will warm these up […]

Phil’s Orchard Sandwich

This is one that Phil Keaggy introduced me to, and here in Tennessee it is best in the short season when the fresh peaches come in from Georgia. At this time of year, the peaches are so sweet that you don’t need any sugar. Ingredients Fresh multi-grain bakery bread (or home-made!) Fresh tree-ripened peaches in […]

Chez Keith’s Magic Marinara on Penne

Here is one from our former webmaster, Keith, that has its roots in a dish prepared by his Italian neighbor when he was growing up. She made this dish as a casserole but he has turned it into a pasta sauce. He’s made it hundreds of times for his family who still enjoys it to […]

Deep Chocolate Cake with Chocolate/Raspberry Glaze

OK, I’m not usually big on chocolate cake, but this one was served to me by the folks at Future Studios in Sedona, AZ (most of the volunteers from a friendly local vegan community). The recipe is derived from the Moosewood Cookbook by Mollie Katzen. Ingredients 1 1/2 c. unbleached white flour 1/3 c. unsweetened cocoa […]
