Italian Cannoli Recipe
Italian Cannoli recipes are a dime a dozen. But, I have to say this one is my all time favorite. My brother owned a bakery that supplied this Italian cannoli recipe to an Italian restaurant in Sun Valley, ID. There is a trick to get that shell bubbly crisp and that cream sturdy and sweet. It looks daunting, but I'm sure you'll master the process the first time. T
Phad Thai Recipe
This fabulous Phad Thai recipe was put together by the people of Thailand. In the 1940's the Prime Minister of Thailand, Plaek Phibunsongkhram was focused on national building of their culture.
Penne with sausage sauce
The Italians know their pasta, this rendition is one of my favorites. Quick and easy packed with flavor you'll enjoy every bite. What makes this exceptional is the fresh rosemary and a bit of cream. Both of these ingredients put it over the top! Great for a weeknight meal or even for those picky guests!
Vegan Tuna Recipe
You say vegan tuna? Well it's not exactly tuna, but tastes a lot like it. Makes a great sandwich, tuna melt or dip. My husband who isn't vegan likes it with a little sriracha.
Vegan Chili Relleno
I love Chili Rellenos but feel sad that vegans can't enjoy the same thing I am. I came up with a delicious alternate that I teach in my cooking school. It's made with aquafaba whipped into what resembles egg whites. Then I make a batter with a little flour (of your choice) and mix with turmeric for a eggy color. Serves 4
Easy Indian Naan
I bet your favorite thing in an Indian restaurant is the naan. Chewy, bubbly, and buttery bread hot from the tandoor oven. Easy Indian naan is just that, easy. You will want to serve this easy Indian naan with every meal.
Polynesian Foil Wrapped Chicken
Polynesian foil wrapped chicken is one of the foods that brings culture together. From sausage and gravy called bangers and mash to a sweet coconut Panipopo which is Samoan. Treat your guests to a unique appetizer when you serve these Polynesian foil wrapped chicken packs. Steamed with fragrant herbs and asian flavors for a truly authentic fare.
Crab Rangoon
Crab Rangoon are a delicious appetizer you'll find in many Asian restaurants. Typically like a fried wonton, but with a creamy, crabby, tasty filling. Crab rangoon consists of wonton wrappers that are filled with a mixture of crab, cream cheese, garlic powder, ginger, green onions and Worcestershire sauce. The wontons are either fried like your traditional pot sticker or fried until golden brown and crispy in oil for a crunchy texture. They are served with a sweet, hot and sour sauce that compliment the filling.
Vegan Cream Sauce
French style cream sauce made healthier. The vegan cream sauce will satisfy your craving for a creamy pasta dish with no guilt. Made with no cholesterol, only healthy fats, and loads of protein. It compares to the French "Bechamel" sauce but vegan. Even a serious skeptic will enjoy the creaminess and flavor of this real plant-based cream sauce.

Plant Based Mexican Pozole
I'm so excited to share this plant based Mexican pozole with you. The flavor is similar to the traditional pozole, but without meat. I used smoked tempeh and mushrooms to give it a meaty consistency. The red miso gives it an earthy flavor that deepens the broth. The dried and fresh roasted peppers are a must to give this pozole an authentic taste. Condiments lighten up the plant based Mexican pozole and give a refreshing crunch with every bite. Plant-based Mexican Pozole I used smoked tempeh and mushrooms to give it a meaty consistency.
