What Do I Do with Miso?

When my dad was a teenager, he spent two years living in Japan, fully immersed in the local culture. Luckily for me, the culinary traditions made a lasting impact on him, so meals at our house were often punctuated by Japanese staples: rice, seaweed, umeboshi plums. Perhaps the most versatile Japanese export consumed at our house was miso, a thick, salty-sweet fermented paste typically made from soybeans (though it can also be made with barley, rice, or other grains).

Soy-Sesame Bok Choy Rolls

If you can’t find large, firm bok choy leaves to use as wrappers for this recipe, use smaller ones as “cups,” and serve the filling alongside. Choose a bold-flavored prepared teriyaki sauce or add sriracha or chile-garlic sauce for extra kick.

Cookbook Report: Q & A with Mary McCartney, author of FOOD: Vegetarian Home Cooking

While many vegetarians have to eschew family food traditions in pursuit of a plant-based diet, there is an ever-growing number of us lucky enough to be raised in a vegetarian household and to learn, from childhood, how to cook and eat healthfully in a vegetarian kitchen. So it was for Mary McCartney—daughter of Paul McCartney of the Beatles and the late Linda McCartney, a rock photographer, musician, and animal rights activist who penned several vegetarian cookbooks and created the vegetarian product line Linda McCartney Foods.

Supereasy Vegan: Salty-Sweet Sautéed Dates

The guys who work the vegetable stands in Paris’ open-air markets really know how to reel in new customers. “Goûtez! Goûtez!” they insist (“Taste! Taste!”). I usually obey orders and am often so seduced by the flavor of a juicy Clementine or perfectly ripe strawberry that I end up walking away with a big box. Recently, I found myself toting home an oversized package of dates, wondering what the heck I was going to do with them all now that I had a lifetime supply.

Silk-Free Wedding Dresses for Compassionate Brides-to-Be

It’s my favorite time of year: The first warm days of spring, when it finally feels safe to put away those bulky winter coats and unleash my summer dresses from their cold-weather hibernation. During this year’s sartorial swap-out ritual, I was surprised to find my wedding dress folded in amid the summery casual wear. It’s not your average bridal gown; mine is short, and a non-traditional gold. It does double duty as a party dress from time to time, and has held up well over the years. But if I had it to do all over again, I might choose something different. Likely something vintage and maybe even something white (though probably not). It would definitely have to be silk-free, just like the original—my ethics haven’t wavered over time. These three gowns are just a few of the possibilities out there for compassionate brides-to-be.

4 Must-Try Honey Alternatives

Despite honey's delicious flavor, versatility, and medicinal properties, pure vegans choose to avoid this tasty nectar since it's harvested from bees. Thankfully, there are plenty of tasty alternatives to bee honey, all with their own special qualities. These five sweeteners are 100 percent vegan, and some even contain healthy vitamins and minerals that are lost in honey when it is processed. You can easily use these substitutes as you would use bee honey.

Supereasy Vegan: Popeye Pesto

I think it was Plato who said “necessity is the mother of invention.” Never has this maxim resonated more with me than in the kitchen, where many surprisingly tasty meals were born out of sheer lack of options coupled with a strong desire to eat. This spinach pesto is a good example.

Classic Basil Pesto

This intensely flavorful pesto recipe works great with pasta, sandwiches, summer vegetable medleys, and tomato-mozzarella stacks. It can also be made with other tender summer herbs such as cilantro, mint, or parsley in addition to or in place of the basil.
