Flavor-forward coleslaw, at last
Gentrification. It’s happening everywhere: things that fell out of favor are suddenly resurrected, rediscovered, and reinvented. It was bound to happen to coleslaw sooner or later. I updated this classic, cabbage-based salad by adding hipster veggies like radicchio and fennel and a splash of vanilla extract. And so Gentrified Coleslaw was born. Recipe will appear in my new cookbook.

| Candied Squash Seeds |
Here's another one from the new cookbook: Candied Squash Seeds. Most people discard winter squash seeds, but you can toast and/or candy them, just as is the case with pumpkin seeds. They're tiny nutrition powerhouses and make a great topping for salads, soups and even ice cream.

| Ravioli in Cashew Cream |
After a recent morning of gallery hopping with F-stop, we visited Blossom in Chelsea, NYC. We split the Ravioli in Cashew Cream. It was extremely decadent and rich, not for the fat-phobic. [Apologies for the photo quality: iPhone camera]

Seitanic Sandwich
|
I ordered a seitan sandwich special. It featured slices of seitan scallopini on a delicious, soft ciabatta bread. Good-n-greasy.

| Blossom Burrito |
F-stop chose the Blossom Burrito, filled with black beans, avocado and vegan cheese. Although my sandwich was great, I liked his better. [Isn't that how it always goes?]
