I have been doing #meatlessmonday for a few months now. I love doing a meatfree dish every Monday for you, but I also love getting my weekly Meatless Monday email filled with new meatfree recipes. (If you’re interested, you can sign up at meatlessmonday.com.)
I got really excited by today’s email because it had a recipe for spinach tofu curry. Basically, this is a recreation of a famous Indian dish (palak paneer) which is cubes of paneer cheese cooked in a spinach gravy.
I’ve been wanting to try this dish for a LONG time since I really love the spinach gravy and I am frankly not so high on paneer cheese cubes. (Note: there’s nothing wrong with them. They just don’t tickle my fancy.) The good news for me is that firm tofu has about the same texture as the paneer while having a more neutral flavor.
My one contribution is finding a good image of palak paneer. Yes, the above image is one of the prettiest I can find of the spinach gravy dish. Like a lot of Indian dishes, I love the flavor. The visual imagery, however leaves something to be desired.
Still, I wanted to let you know once the gravy looks like baby poop, it’s time to dig in. (I’m actually serious on that one.)

#GoJunkFood Are You Ready for Fish and Chips? I look over at that picture and I think that is what fish and chips is supposed to look like. The fish is golden brown and has the little crispy pieces of batter on it. The fries maybe a bit too thick, but you know, whatever, it’s…
Last night’s foray into Boston cream pie got me thinking about other uses for pastry cream like, say, Banana Cream Pie You know, I like Boston cream pie a lot, but nothing, and people I’m being serious here, nothing beats a banana cream pie when it comes to members of the cream pie family. Plus, it’s…

Long time readers of this blog have no doubt heard me talk about Chef Jasper Mirabile and his “Experiences”, masterfully prepared dinners highlighting one or more exquisite ingredients. In the past, these dinners have ranged from the whole hog to limoncello to heriloom tomoatoes. Well, get ready, because he has three more great dinners planned…
I got the scoop on a brand new faux meat product. University Science and Food, a company loosely affiliated with several research universities, is set to release Mahn, a 100% certified non-GMO soy-based product. University scientists, especially those who work with cannibal tribes in the primeval South American jungles, are excited by the release of…
