Pretty in Pink

Posted on April 16, 2012 by Hannah (BitterSweet)

May the record show that despite previous protestation, I honestly do have nothing against the union of strawberry and rhubarb. They’re a great couple who seem genuinely happy together, so who am I to break them up? Sure, it wouldn’t hurt for either to have a bit more alone time, maybe see a few other [...] Continue reading →

Feeling Saucy

Posted on April 11, 2012 by Hannah (BitterSweet)

Sauces are the unsung heroes of every meal. Quietly, selflessly, they accept their role as the supporting actors, and yet they’re often the most flavorful element in the whole production. The same old boring dishes can be reinvented with just a few small tweaks to the sauce, no further modifications necessary. Take, for instance, stuffed [...] Continue reading →

When You Feel Like a Nut

Posted on April 9, 2012 by Hannah (BitterSweet)

One sip of almond milk, so many years ago, was all it took to convert me to a believer; I haven’t looked back to soy ever since. Smoother, creamier, and without the distinctive bean-y undertones soy is apt to impart, the choice for both baking and drinking was clear. The biggest downside to the switch [...] Continue reading →

Pantry Purge

Posted on April 2, 2012 by Hannah (BitterSweet)

“Keeping a well stocked pantry” would be a very generous way of describing my penchant for collecting odd ingredients. A certifiable food-shopaholic, any interesting spices, unusual beans, new strains of rice that catch my eye are destined for the cart, no questions asked. Entirely new dishes could be unlocked with that one secret ingredient, and [...] Continue reading →

Posted on March 30, 2012 by Hannah (BitterSweet)

Sticky Fingers Bakery has long been a sweet sensation within the vegan community, serving up pastries and other delights in the Washington, DC area since 2002, accumulating numerous awards over the years. Most remarkable of all was when chef and owner Doron Petersan broke into the mainstream, not only showing up on Food Network’s Cupcake [...] Continue reading →

Rah, Rah, Rhubarb!

Posted on March 28, 2012 by Hannah (BitterSweet)

If rhubarb were playing on a team, would anyone actually cheer for it? A sad, unloved vegetable with an identity crisis, rhubarb is always paired up with the show-stealing strawberry, smothered by sweetness, and thrown into the game more as an afterthought than a star. You’d think that after years of strawberry-rhubarb pies and strawberry-rhubarb [...] Continue reading →

Noodle of the Sea

Posted on March 26, 2012 by Hannah (BitterSweet)

A curious craze if there ever was one, kelp noodles have gained popularity in leaps and bounds, going from unheard oddity to pantry staple for many overnight. Though still a more difficult ingredient to procure, ever since I discovered one fateful package at a local international market, rather than an expensive specialty shop, they’ve been [...] Continue reading →

The bright sunshine illuminates all corners of the house, lifts the darkest of moods, and is so pervasive, it’s even made its [...] Continue reading →

Pi by Day, Pie by Night

Posted on March 14, 2012 by Hannah (BitterSweet)

For once, Pi Day has lined up beautifully with my baking plans, and I’m not ill-prepared for the holiday like most years past. The trusty recipe index makes no secret of my baking habits, and it’s easy to see that pies are not exactly my go-to dessert. Suddenly though, my kitchen is positively teaming with [...] Continue reading →

Leftovers

Posted on March 12, 2012 by Hannah (BitterSweet)

The dust is finally beginning to settle after the final grueling round of edits for Vegan a la Mode, and I can breathe more easily once again. It may actually be done. Such a crazy thought, to consider that my third cookbook is on it’s way, possibly being printed as we speak. It sure didn’t [...] Continue reading →
